New Coach Sommer Interview - July 1, 2014

Would it be possible for someone to make a quick summary of what Coach said? (Due to absence of subtitles) I, and I think a few others, would really appreciate this.

I can work on a quick transcript today if you don't mind me editing out all the "erm"  "aahhs" and the non instructive interruptions.

that'd be community service

That would indeed, thank you very much Jennifer 

Not to discourage your kind offer, Jennifer, but the Robb Wolf website puts up transcripts of their podcasts, usually a week or two after it airs. Based on past history, this one should be up v soon.

Overall, students tend to dawdle during a workout more than they realize. The 20 minutes isn't an absolute but if you've setup properly beforehand, know what you're doing and work hard without making that 30 second rest a 3 minute one it'll be a relatively brief affair.

 

My workouts were consistently taking over an hour (4 days a week, alternating {FL,sPL,HBP,RC} and {HS,SL,MN,SLS}) when I stopped back in May due to mental burnout and knee pain. I have no problem repeating microcycles, I always err on the side of doing a cycle "too well" as opposed to trying to rush. Do you recommend I go back to a point where I can compress my rest periods to keep my whole workout under 20 min?

Dont.

Agreed with Riku. My statement was about not wasting time not rushing for the sake of rushing. If a rep is not acceptable you do not pass go and collect $200 until either it is correct or time to shut the exercise down. 

Speaking of podcasts- can someone direct me to the link for the Gymnastic Bodies Q&A session from a few weeks ago?
