#15 - Will Ratelle - Olympic lifts vs Loaded Jumps, French contrast downfalls and why less is more when programming for athletes

Matt & Angus are joined by the biggest powerhouse in the S&C game, Will Ratelle. Will is a strength and conditioning coach in North Dakota and has had experience playing in the NFL/CFL while now coaching at the University of North Dakota . As impressive as Wills ability when it comes to lifting weights, dunking a basketball and sprinting, his mind is even more impressive. We discuss a few different polarising topics in the strength and conditioning space and dispel a few myths including Wills views on French Contrast training, olympic lifting having unique benefits that loaded jumps do not exhibit and how to not over complicate training programs.You can find Will on the following links: https://www.instagram.com/will.ratelle/?hl=enhttps://www.youtube.com/@willratelle8027
