PERFORMANCE
Workload Performance is the programming and coaching side of TWoods Training! I’ve been programming for myself since I was 13, and put myself through the ringer of many tests, stimuli, and periodized cycles. Some worked better then I expected, others didn’t, but I learned a lot within every cycle including exercise selection, frequency/intensity/volume, intent, velocity, mentality, etc. The truth is – I love to program. I think it shows intelligence in its own nature, as well displays creativity at the same time.
THE SCIENCE behind WORKLOAD – First, WORK (W) is associated with energy and is expressed with amount of forced needed/used and the distance required to perform the work prescribed. LOAD is the mass of an object with relation to its gravitational force (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth). Both these variables need to be considered to reach strength, conditioning, and performance gains. LOAD is the external properties that can manipulate the outcome of performance, this can be manipulated with the amount of mass put on a bar, other object, band tension (changing acceleration), chains (changing load at periods of time), etc. WORK can be the external and internal factors that can manipulate performance. One can always perform an exercise faster vs. slower (velocity), alter depth or distance travelled (viva biological length, ROM, or structural apparatus), with time under tension, capacity and threshold training, ways to increase neurological and physiological potentiation, etc.
THE ART behind WORKLOAD – To some, my personal workload and volume with training and other daily acts is unthinkable and insane. However, I love what I do and I’ve built up (and keep building) the work to handle the load the challenges I pursue. I also understand that there are more factors that contribute to performing the WORK and LOAD prescribed that fall outside the hours of training, such as sleep, nutrition, recovery, variation, and balance.
With my blend of “science and art,” passion, knowledge, and experience, I will get you the coaching and program that you need to get you over your plateau, improve movement quality and patterns, and ultimately get you achieving your goals!

Specific Movement and ADD Ons
I LOVE programming! As mentioned above – I see it as both an art and a science. I rely a lot on research, my past experience, the athlete’s past experiences, and expecting feeling/stimulus when I create programs. I take time to individualize programs and make sure that each program provides what the athlete needs.
Programs can be made for a specific movement, or a complete program.
