PODCAST EPISODE #290: ERIC BUGERA

Jun 29, 2022
 

SUBSCRIBE

 

This week on RX’D Radio we welcome Pre-Script™ dad, Eric Bugera. Jiunta and Shallow sit down with Bugera and chat about his path in the fitness industry, through his multiple undergrads and a master's degree, ultimately leading him here. They talk about the Pre-Script™ Collective and how Bugera has molded the literature review into an easily digestible read. If you’ve ever been to a Lab or been around Bugera, you know exactly what you're about to get, a very smart, concise conversation about life, lifting, and the importance of actually walking the walk.

Know Your Intensities

Three of the foundational tenets of the  Pre-Script™ Level 1 are time, distance, and load.

We often view load as being synonymous with the word intensity.

Jun 02, 2022

By Abdurahmaan Saloojee

Abdurahmaan is a Pre-Script coach from Ottawa who loves reading, traveling, and training.

This concept is an interesting one and quite a rabbit hole to dive into. It has many applications, but I have distilled it down to basically being a more efficient way to warm up the body for exercise, specifically resistance training and even more so at higher intensities and loads.

These muscles when paired are agonists and antagonists: the agonist is performing the contraction and the antagonist is the opposing muscle group. When the quads extend the knee, the antagonists are the...
