Some of the positions we want to hit in our Junior High S&C program to develop: ⏺ Speed ⏺ Power ⏺ Strength ⏺ Mobility ⏺ Elasticity All Pictured Are Incoming 8th Graders.

In my opinion, one of the BEST combos in strength training Rack position + unilateral exercise There is a unique challenge of maintaining good position as the load pulls you forward Not only that, but anterior loading can help get better forward movement Stability all around

RDL rant that is too long for a reel so I’m just going to leave it here.

This is real! Every coach regardless of the sport should listen to this. “I Don’t Run From COACHING”

If you wanna train the middle part of a muscle…. without strengthening the proximal and distal end of a muscle….. and promote injuries on the field…. then decrease range of motion in the weight room

1-Leg RDL Progress👀 One of the most important yet toughest movements to master. Proud of these dudes💪‼️

The ideal number of times to work a muscle group for maximum gains in muscle mass is 2-3 times per week as opposed to just 1x/week (given adequate rest) This equates to a lifting frequency of 3 or 4 days total/week 3 full-body days or 2 upper + 2 lower Spreading out sets evenly

Front Squat can fix a lot of weak parts. I like it more than back squat. I think there’s more bang for you buck, and typically an athlete struggling with depth on back squat can squat deeper on FS.

Single leg variations are the low hanging fruit for high school athletes. Also it’s a great way to add full ROM for athletes that struggle with squat depth IMO

Do your young athletes a favor Make this one of the things they work on and get better with Can’t overstate enough how valuable it is to improve landing on one leg & handling ground forces Start two legs, work to one. Start VERY low & progress accordingly

Incoming 7th Grader Working Through The Next Phase Of Our Squat Progression. Movement is a priority w/ youth athletes.

“The first step on the ladder of success is always failure. Immature people don’t deal well with failure and immature people don’t understand that there is going to be failure.” You will never succeed more than you fail. Failure is part of the process of becoming successful.

Hey young athletes: 1. Eat before & after you train 2. Sprint at max-effort 2x per week 3. Track your progress w/ everything you do 4. Don’t stop training in-season 5. Lift 1-5 reps & try to add weight any time you can 6. Take 2 full off days per week 7. Eat breakfast

- Train on 2 legs, but also prioritize training on 1 leg - Lift heavy, but understand strength isn’t EVERYTHING - Aim to move fast, but also know mechanics matter - Train consistently, but also take days off - Do speed AND strength work Less absolutes, more critical thinking

Just to be clear, the biggest reason we run sprints is that we get all the lower body muscles working at speeds way higher than anything we can do with weights. Average sprinters are about 8 m/sec.

Q: Why does your bench press suck? A: Because your overhead press sucks. The body is inhibitory by nature. If the shoulders, upper back & triceps are lagging compared to the pecs, your brain won’t allow you to get stronger because your supporting tissue can’t handle more load.

Q: How do you improve back squat? A: Improve your front squat Show me anyone who can front squat 315 and I guarantee they can back squat 405 Show me anyone who can front squat 405 and I guarantee they can back squat 500 The inverse isn’t always true Chase your rabbits wisely
