Get ready to rethink everything you know about athletic training. Today, we’re joined by Ryan RP, the mastermind behind New Athlete, a pioneering training facility in Vancouver. Ryan’s unique approach to speed training has revolutionized the lives of over 7,000 athletes, including more than 140 NFL stars and 1,000+ D1 athletes. As he charts his journey from training one athlete to running his own facility, you’ll be gripped by his passion and dedication to his craft.
Hold onto your earbuds as we delve into the nitty-gritty of Ryan’s innovative training techniques. From mastering forces to strategically redirecting body weight, Ryan’s methods are a far cry from traditional weightlifting practices. Inspired by Eastern Bloc style trainer, Jay Schroeder, Ryan’s use of isometrics has yielded significant improvements in athletic performance. We also dive into the intriguing subject of replicating the neural output from a sprint in the weight room.
Lastly, prepare for a candid discussion about the integration of different training methodologies, the rehabilitation process after severe injuries like ACL tears, and the use of cutting-edge equipment like the ARP for muscle recovery. We hear about Adrian Peterson’s inspirational ACL recovery story and discuss the potential of creating an educational podcast or course with Ryan to share his wealth of knowledge with more people. By the end, you'll understand why Ryan's training methods are transforming the sporting world.
