#15 - Will Ratelle - Olympic lifts vs Loaded Jumps, French contrast downfalls and why less is more when programming for athletes

June 03, 2024 • AVOLVE Performance

Matt & Angus are joined by the biggest powerhouse in the S&C game, Will Ratelle. Will is a strength and conditioning coach in North Dakota and has had experience playing in the NFL/CFL while now coaching at the University of North Dakota .

As impressive as Wills ability when it comes to lifting weights, dunking a basketball and sprinting, his mind is even more impressive.

We discuss a few different polarising topics in the strength and conditioning space and dispel a few myths including Wills views on French Contrast training, olympic lifting having unique benefits that loaded jumps do not exhibit and how to not over complicate training programs.
