The QAD Method - Evolve Beyond Limits
At Bowens Human Performance, we believe peak performance is achieved through the fusion of biomechanics, physiology, and cutting-edge recovery science. The QAD Method (Quantum Athletic Development) integrates these disciplines to deliver results that go beyond traditional training. This method isn’t just about lifting weights or running faster—it’s about re-engineering human capability by tapping into untapped potential.
Core Principles of the QAD Method
This method isn’t just about lifting weights or running faster—it’s about re-engineering human capability by tapping into untapped potential.
Quality Overload
Leveraging movement precision to create biomechanical efficiency, we emphasize load progression in a way that minimizes joint stress while maximizing strength development.
Adaptive Progression
Using real-time data and feedback loops, we continually refine training variables (intensity, volume, tempo) to meet the individual’s evolving needs.
Dynamic Recovery
We integrate advanced methods such as vibroacoustic therapy, mobility resets, and energy system rebalancing to accelerate recovery and improve long-term performance.
Training Philosophy- Where Science Meets Art
The QAD Method is rooted in science but guided by intuition honed over years of coaching elite athletes. As the head coach and founder, Minor Bowens brings a wealth of experience from some of the most demanding athletic programs in the world-
​
• University of Houston -Assistant strength coach, instrumental in record-breaking performances in track & field and swimming.
​
• University of Louisville- Strength coach during Lamar Jackson’s Heisman campaign, contributing to 5 players being drafted to the NFL.
​
• Southern Miss- Guided 5 athletes to professional football careers during a transformative two-year period.
​
• Dartmouth College- Oversaw strength and conditioning for 15 teams, culminating in Ivy League championships in football and swimming, and a national championship in Nordic skiing.
This depth of experience has shaped a philosophy that blends biomechanical mastery, energy system development, and quantum recovery techniques, ensuring clients achieve not only peak performance but sustainable long-term health.
Scientific Approach
The QAD Method operates on a feedback-driven model inspired by neuroplasticity and fascial system adaptation. Our programming focuses on-
​
• Fascia-driven Movement Training – Training the body through its fascial lines ensures that muscles work in harmony, increasing strength transfer and minimizing injury risk.
​
• Energy System Optimization – By balancing anaerobic and aerobic systems through precisely dosed intervals, we enhance endurance and speed without overtraining.
​
• Neuro-adaptive Load Management – Utilizing progressive overload principles while respecting the body’s neural recovery thresholds ensures sustainable strength gains.
This scientific precision, combined with our real-world experience, positions Bowens Human Performance as the leader in human optimization.
