Rodrigo Alvira — Preparador Físico de los Detroit Pistons y Fundador de Spaniard Performance — se une a nosotros en el episodio número 119 de Move the Needle.

En este episodio del pódcast conversamos sobre el arquetipado en el deporte, qué es lo que realmente importa al analizar los saltos en las plataformas de fuerza, y profundizamos en una conversación muy interesante sobre el entrenamiento basado en la velocidad (VBT) — un tema del que hasta ahora habíamos hablado muy poco en el programa.

Este episodio es especial: nuestra primera publicación completamente en español. ¡Esperamos que la disfruten!
