Jonathon Sullivan summarizes several scientific articles that pertain to the practice of strength training at the 2015 Starting Strength Coaches Association Conference held at the Wichita Falls Athletic Club.

Watch Part 3
I was looking forward to this all day at work. Awesome videos Sully.
These are excellent. I do have a question about Stone et al. that wasn't raised (and is perhaps therefore stupid). Do the authors presume that the correlation between strength and weightlifting performance is linear or do they try to fit other curves? There's clearly a process of diminishing returns in strength as one progresses from novice to advanced athlete, which I'd guess looks logarithmic. Is the increase in power also logarithmic, resulting in a linear relationship between the two?
I say this as someone whose power-cleans are rather pathetic, and do not keep pace with the progress of my deadlift.
I'd very much like to read the sixth piece in part 2. Are these articles available anywhere?
Stef, if it is not too much trouble, would it be possible to get a list of the articles discussed (but I'm guessing the article form of the review is forthcoming) ? I'd like to have them in front of me as a reference when I watch the video.Quote:

Stef you are a gentleman and a scholar.
Excellent question, but the issue of change in strength over time (logarithmic or linear) was not addressed. The authors simply wanted to investigate the degree of correlation between maximum strength today and weightlifting performance today.Quote:
