DPT and former gymnast, Dave Tilley joins us to discuss the benefits of gymnastics for weightlifting and vice versa. Specific topics include:
1. Using a barbell to implement the progressive overload principle for gymnasts
2. Using the body awareness and stability developed through gymnastics to add insurance for the weightlifter
3. Flat feet and the epidemic of kids not being able to touch their toes
4. "Cue until the cows come home" and spinning wheels as coach or athlete vs proper assessment and development of individualized needs
5. Using circuits or sequences(i.e., rounds of moving mobility, then squat variation, then mobility, then squat variation, etc.) to help improve mobility for specific movements vs just foam rolling, static stretching, etc.
