Surfing the Strength Curve: Tucker Seay on Neural Fatigue, Peak Power, and Coaching Evolution

Send us a text Coach Tucker Seay, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Dalton High School, joins Steven to discuss his evolving approach to athlete development and performance. Drawing from his background in exercise science and insights from Super Training, Tucker breaks down how he balances speed, volume, and neural fatigue in his programming. They explore his transition to head coach, the implementation of the Lightened method with bands for confidence and control, and his findings on optimal power output at 50% body weight. Tucker also shares his progress with sumo deadlifts, maximal tension training, and strategies to “surf the strength curve” for peak results. The conversation dives deep into practical coaching, from warm-up innovations and bench press development to the lasting influence of Louie Simmons on modern strength training — offering a masterclass in blending science, creativity, and experience on the gym floor. https://youtube.com/@platesandpancakes4593 https://instagram.com/voodoo4power?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://voodoo4ranch.com/ To possibly be a guest or support the show email Voodoo4ranch@gmail.com https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/voodoo4ranch
