Ash Grossmann’s Question
I’d like to know more about your approach to testing your athletes. You hear a lot about testing a strength isn’t building a strength. You don’t want to max out too often because it’s not actually giving you the stimulus to get better – so how do you balance base lining and assessing improvement against actual training that’s improving performance in the long term?

Cyril Grechi’s question
We know you guys work with elite athletes quite a lot, but do you work with recreational or competitive athletes who like to compete on the weekend?
