"So what is VBT to me? It's all about speed output. So moving the bar or the body as fast as we can."
"The most important part about the competitive season is that they're competing. We're not trying to be Olympic lifters. We're not trying to be power lifters. We want to make sure that their transfer to the sport is as high as possible. That's submaximal loading, accelerative strengthening, power on the force velocity curve. 60-70 % 1RM comes in as the heavy and then we muck around with 50-30 %; lighter, faster, ballistic tosses, jumping, loud noises, trying to get things moving as fast as we can..."
"How many sports generate force up and down like a squat? There aren't too many. In track and field, it's the hammer throw, skiing, rowing, a couple of examples there, but most of what we do is we're generating force in a split based position"
"So then, you know, going into those lighter loads, and doing it with a snatch, Cameron can lift up to four meters per second with 30% 1RM on the bar"
“I've always been somebody that likes to be creative and just think outside of the box and how might this work? How might this better the output that we're trying to achieve? And then in the gym, it just bolsters that as well. So, you know, as long as you're not being stupid, think being creative in your environment … especially with VBT”

“I'm a reluctant rehabber. I find it the most challenging and frustrating part of strength and conditioning. It doesn't excite me. It challenges me. I find it difficult I guess and that's weirdly why I wanted to dive into it”
“If we're thinking about aerobic type work, you can break it down into whether you want to do extensive or intensive type work. So maybe extensive work where the length of your effort is a longer, straighter effort versus an intensive type effort where you might have more shuttle-based work.”
“I've always lived off this quote from an old colleague, Nick Lumley and his comment was when the bombs are going off, you don't want blokes who've just been running straight line MAS, you want guys who've been getting off the deck and shuttling. So I guess I'm biased towards a little bit more shuttle-based conditioning work than straight line work”.
“The challenge of rehabbing someone in season is the coach wants him back and there's the old adage of are we returning to play or returning to perform? I don't think that really applies in a lot of instances when we're getting guys back out on the paddock, particularly in-season. I would argue that we return blokes that aren't ready to perform a lot of the time but they're ready to go back and play”
“I would start generally in the backend of a reconditioning block with more aerobic based extensive work and that might involve longer straighter efforts with maybe one turn. I might progress that down to more intensive based conditioning work with more turns, same sort of work to rest ratios, but more change of direction and off deck work, increasing to intensive anaerobic type work as they get towards the backend of the last third and fourth weeks.”
