Matt Brzycki

How can you or your clients keep getting stronger over time and still strength train progressively, even as we all inevitably get older?

HIT Expert Matt Brzycki is Princeton University’s Assistant Director of Campus Recreation and Fitness, and he joins the podcast to talk about high-intensity training for athletes and how you can continue making progress even as you age.

We talk about designing workout programs and maximizing recovery for athletes and older trainees, why some people might do higher-volume HIT, why there seems to be a pushback against evidence-based training, and so much more.

If you want to know what it’s like to be a life-long HIT trainer and be able to keep making strength training progress for the rest of your life, Matt’s episode is a great one to tune into!
