Today, we are excited to be joined by Dr. Tim Suchomel, an expert in Olympic weightlifting and weightlifting derivatives. Dr. Suchomel is an assistant professor of exercise science and the program director for the Master of Science and Sport Physiology and Performance program at Carroll University. He became interested in the Exercise and Sport Science in order to improve athletic performance.  Dr. Suchomel pursued his PhD in order to have the opportunity to both teach and perform research in order to help students improve their understanding of the many aspects that contribute to an athlete’s performance.

In Today’s Episode We Discuss:

• What are the Olympic weightlifting derivatives
• What the research says about how Olympic weightlifting derivatives can be utilized in a performance training program
• Why is Rate of Force Development and power training and how does it play into ACL rehabilitation
• How weightlifting derivatives can be used in rehabilitation
• What the force velocity curve is, and where Olympic weightlifting and the Olympic weightlifting derivatives can fit in
