"Thank you for the response. To ensure safety, could you specify the thresholds for duration and intensity of heavy loaded carries that minimize risks of left ventricular hypertrophy or stiffness? For example, would carrying a load equal to oneâs body weight for shorter still be considered safe and beneficial for general strength and conditioning?"

Raad22â"Heavy" will vary on the individual and would be best determined with a StrongFirst Certified Instructor for an individualized approach.

Q.

In Module 2, Pavel (Weight training section) mentioned the dangers of overworking the heart with grinds. Do heavy loaded carries pose similar risks to the heart?
Raad22 (12/20/2024 6:14 PM)

A.
|
Raad22âThe heavier carries should be shorter in duration. Creating high tension under load reduces the blood return and means the heart has to pump "less" blood through high pressure which can be part of left ventricular hypertrophy and stiffness.

In all the reading and listening on this topic i hear verkoshansky being listed but i can't find any talk of AGT in his books? What book of his discusses these topics and where exactly in them? I have Supertraining, Special Strength for sports and his block training books but can't see any reference to AGT?

Sckielyâ From the SEE manual: Our anti-glycolytic training methods are based on the research by Profs. Yuri Verkhoshansky, Per-Olof Ă
strand, and Victor Selouyanov and refined with the help of hundreds of other sources. It is accumulated from the research of all of these people and more so I don't have a specific source.

Can Tyre flips and push press used for cardio?

7ajhaysâThe push press would fit into a Strength Aerobics type session or a similar to a Jerk based AGT session. Tire flips would depend on the weight of the tire and how it was programmed (one flip every minute etc.).

At 12:05 or thereabouts, Pavel cites some figures about heart attacks in 25 y.o. soccer players. Where can I read more about this - is it possible to share a link to the relevant studies? Thanks!

JBPâI do not have that reference at hand but this study covers a lot of ground and the references here may help: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1714719

Q.

One thing I havenât quite grasped yet is the relationship between steady state and AGT such as AXE. Is it that the former is a pre-requisite for the latter, that the former is to be trained alongside the latter (perhaps using the âleap froggingâ strategy discussed later), or that the former can be replaced to some degree by the latter?
Iâm talking about training for general population here â for GPP, health and so on.
Thanks in advance!

JBPâSteady state can be trained and many options are possible. Generally, try to be fresher for AGT than traditional steady state work.

Around 19:00 " Even high level athletes should not do more than 1.5-3 month of interval training for their heart in a month and do SS work the rest of time." I've watched this part several times, is it a slip of the tongue, 1.5-3 months in a YEAR maybe?

DanyueâYesâI believe this is a slip of the tongue and should be a year.

Q.

At what point (in terms of loading particularly) does kettlebell work such as snatches cross into the vascular compressive effect? Or, does the mandatory ballistic speed of the movement prevent vascular compression. If the latter, than snatches and swings at any weight would always be suitable for ATG? Is this correct?
Evan21 (2/22/2024 2:25 AM)

|
A.
|
Evan21âKettlebell swings and snatches are similar to rowing in the brief compressive load at the eccentric portion of the movements. The suitable load varies on the individual.

Hi What are the preparatory training needed before someone is ready for high intensity training?

G1ryaSGâWithout knowing your medical, injury, exercise history, and current trainingâ this is very difficult to answer. A solid base of strength and Axe style training would be a good start.
