Lab Rats Needed to Test MTI’s “357 Strength” Programming Theory

    Sorry – Applications Closed – We have all the Lab Rats needed for this study. By Rob Shaul MTI is calling for remote lab rats for an upcoming, narrow and focused, 3.5 weeks, 5-day/week Mini-Study testing the effectiveness of MTI’s “357 Strength” Programming Methodology. This mini-study will begin next week, Monday, January 4, […]

Mini-Study Results: Max effort strength training improves sandbag strength endurance more than sandbag strength endurance training improves max effort strength

  By Rob Shaul, Founder BLUF Max effort strength training improves Sandbag Strength Endurance more than Sandbag Strength Endurance training improves Max Effort Strength. We conducted a 4-week Mini-Study using remote lab rats to cross-test the effect of Max Effort barbell strength training to improve Sandbag Strength endurance, and the effect of Sandbag Strength Endurance […]

MINI STUDY RESULTS: Fewer and shorter (45-minute) training sessions achieved similar results for strength, work capacity, and endurance improvement as more and longer (60-minute) training sessions

By Rob Shaul, Founder BLUF Fewer and shorter (45-minute) training sessions achieved similar results for strength, work capacity, and endurance improvement as more and longer (60-minute) training sessions. We conducted a 4-week Mini-Study using remote lab rats to test the effect of training volume across three training measurables: Strength (barbell and bodyweight), Sprint-Based Work Capacity, […]

Mini Study: Biking Has Little Transfer to Uphill Movement Under Load

By Rob Shaul   BLUF This 3.5-week Mini-Study investigated the transfer of biking/cycling/spinning to uphill movement under load. Anecdotally we have heard that biking/spinning improved uphill movement, and designed this mini-study to test this theory. Remote, volunteer athletes were divided into two groups, A and B. At the beginning of the cycle, both groups completed […]

Mini Study: Grease the Groove Beats Density for Push Up & Pull Up Improvement

By Rob Shaul BLUF This 3.5 week, 3-day/week Mini-Study compared the effectiveness of two progression methodologies (Density and Grease the Groove) to improve 75-second max rep Hand Release Push Ups and Pull Ups (no time limit). The results found that the Grease the Groove progression (Group B) out-performed the Density progression (Group A) in both […]

Mini Study: Mixed Pacing Equals Intervals Only for 6-Mile Run Improvement

By Rob Shaul BLUF This 4-week Mini-Study compared the programming effectiveness of (1) threshold-only running and (2)  multi-paced running (threshold, moderate, easy) to improve 6-mile running times. The results found both programming approaches improved average 6-mile run times 7-8%, with no significant difference between the programming approaches.   BACKGROUND & STUDY DESIGN For years, MTI […]

United States and NATO Military Services Re-enlistment Rate Comparisons and Findings

  By Tyler Sylvia, 1stLT, USMC   Background This paper provides information on the re-enlistment rates of the U.S. and NATO allies’ military services. It also examines the reasons and factors that contribute to why re-enlistment rates may be relatively high or low.   Key Findings Highest re-enlistment rate: Coast Guard ~68% Lowest re-enlistment rate: […]
