🏋️‍♀️ Extended version of this interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lifter-using-124178011 🏋️‍♀️In strength sports, monitoring techniques mainly involve the lower limbs. But what if the athlete cannot be tested that way? Derek Wilcox encountered this issue while working with a para-powerlifter preparing for a national-level competition. In this interview, we discuss the tests he used and the results and lessons from two studies that were part of his PhD.Dr. Derek Wilcox is a former professional powerlifter from North Carolina, holding degrees in Kinesiology (MA) and Sport Physiology (PhD). He held the all-time world record for squats in the 181 lb weight class with a lift of 935 lbs, as well as being the lightest person ever to squat 1,000 lbs (at 194 lbs) in competition. As a sports science consultant and coach for Renaissance Periodization, he combines a PhD-level education with the practical knowledge of a high-level athlete for his clients’ benefit.Enjoy!Derek's PhD thesis we discuss:Wilcox DR.
