Until the transcript I will not be able to enjoy this podcast as is deserved :(

What are the differences between the podcast and the transcript?

Hopefully none! Though usually there are as some meaning is lost when you don't hear how the sound is imparted. Like thinking someone is making a joke when they are not, or vice versa.

Thanks LateStarter, I saw it today morning.

 

After listening Coach's voice again, as always, brings me a good dose of motivation and power to keep it up with the training, and with a few extra ideas about mobility aspect. 

 

Great podcast and so much knowledge on it. I hope they will keep doing podcast in the future, are an excellent source both information and knowledge.

 

Thanks!

Great podcast as always Robb and Coach!

I have a specific question for Coach Sommer on the explanation of core endurance training. I do not by any means mean to question Foundation and your methods, I'm simply looking for a more in-depth explanation. 

I've always been told that strength translates to endurance, but no so much the other way around. I even think Coach said it somewhere at some point. Therefore, I'm curious as to why it is necessary to train the core muscles with endurance reps and hold times, when you could work on harder strength progressions and thus, have a more enduring core. I understand that the reason we're doing high reps in some exercises is also to build muscle and prepare the connective tissue etc. I'm still wondering though.

I hope it's okay I ask this question, I'm simply looking for a nice explanation.

Jukkaboy, I believe the answer is something along these lines.  The core muscles are primarily postural muscles, in that they statically keep the torso from flopping around.  Though you can generate a lot of power and strength through dynamic movements with these muscles, this is a secondary function.  You train primary function before secondary function, so the training emphasizes the postural, static elements before trying the dynamic, secondary functions.

 

For what it's worth, I started F1 thinking I had a strong core, but I've noticed significant improvements in core strength, even though most would classify such exercises as endurance-centric.

What you said.

 

Another explanation is that F1 is supposed to build a basic foundation; get the body into shape before going hard later on. Without such a foundation you are prone to injury. The high rep/hold time is for all muscle group, although as stated above, the core has a "supportive" function

Exactly.
