Some pulling patterns we have been exploring outside of our compound lifts involving the spine, scaps moving, the hips and rotational/anti-rotational elements. - Hanging Rotational Reach - Single Leg Hinge with Cable Row - Two Up One Down Row - Single Leg Hinge Dumbbell Row

T-SPINE ROTATIONS - The spine is meant to move and rotate. Try these four. Aim for 5-8 reps of each for a set or two before or during your session - Seated pinned T- Spine Rotations - Kneeling T-Spine Cable Rotations - Banded Split Stance Rotations - Single Leg Hinge Rotations

LOADED ROTATION - Three movements I have programmed recently for us loading rotation of the hips integrating tension with the upper body loading rotation. 1. Shin Box Rotations with a Loaded Reach 2. Incline Pigeon-ish Cable Rows 3. Rotational Step Back Lunges

Field Session with Navy SEAL DJ Shipley focusing on some of my favorite partner core, mobility and sprinting drills. Check out the full video at the link below! youtu.be/yVux4ZFPyF4

UPPER BODY MOBILITY AND PREP - Y’s, T’s and A’s using a five pound plate on an incline bench. - Loaded Prone Butterflies with an added Press out - T-Spine Rotations changing angles - Cable Pull Apart loading scapular movement - Plyo Push ups peaking the nervous system

CORE TRAINING Here are a couple of our more dynamic movements challenging the core and rotation. - Dumbbell Dig and Chop - Landmine Rotational Presses - Rotational Reverse Lunges - Landmine Rotations

ROTATIONAL TRAINING - Starting with mobility work slow and controlled and then speeding it up to be more contextual. A couple variations we explored for rotation - Kneeling Cable T-Spine Rotations - Banded T-Spine Rotations - TRX Twists - Drop Step Rotational Throws

Congratulations Vernon Griffith, CSCS*D on becoming the NSCA Tactical Strength and Conditioning Coach of the year! 🔥🐐

Rotation through the trunk is applied to everyone of my clients training programs. We spend so much time being rigid in the sagittal plane in training and our day to day finding time to rotate I feel is key. Here are three movements we explored today before a heavy press day.

Four Movements from our Rotational Core Day. Slow to fast, loading the hips from the ground up to our feet. Resisting rotation and then applying it. - Seated Shin Box Reach and Row - Standing Two Arm Rotations - Cable Dynamic Anti-Rotations - Landmine Rotational Press
