INTENT IN SPORTS PERFORMANCE - KAINON CLARK #154

<p>We sit down with Kainon Clark — returning guest, strength coach at Washington State, and eight-year veteran of the field — to dig into speed work, accommodating resistance, and why the most important variable in a lift isn&#39;t the weight on the bar.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this Playbook:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Speed Work Isn&#39;t What You Think:</strong> The speed zones everyone preaches look very different when your percentages are based on a geared max. Kainon breaks down why intent matters more than the number on the screen.</li><li><strong>The Eccentric Is the Worst Part:</strong> Ever been in a bench shirt? The press out is easy — getting the bar to your chest might end you. What gear-trained powerlifters figured out about CNS overload that still applies today.</li><li><strong>Fake Weight, Real Gains:</strong> Bands and chains in-season aren&#39;t just fun — they let athletes maintain strength while unloading the joints that matter. The &quot;fake weight block&quot; explained.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>TeamBuildr</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:</p><p>Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.
