Two most overlooked muscles in S&C
1. Adductors
2. Obliques
Two critical muscles for COD/ Rotation.
Keep these sprinkled in for better moving humans overall.

- Strength Coach Tip: Train immediately (Upper body) prior to all administrative, staff, or team meetings. When someone notices your pump/vascularity and asks if you just trained, simply reply: “No.”
- Stole these from @ArmyFB_Strength and been loving them with our DEVO guys to get a second Clean day on in-season Fridays! Awesome for emphasizing violent hips and aggressively getting vertical Triple Extension!
00:00 - Athletes want to feel powerful! We absolutely keep maximal strength within our in-season programming, but residual effects of strength last 25-35 days, so we are not afraid to unload and work more on power (3-8 days of residual training effects) The strength will be there!

- What does “a must win game” even mean? If you step into the competitive arena, every game is “a must win” If you don’t feel that way, you should probably be in the audience
- No more scooters 🛴 Walk to class. Do not look at your phone. Take your headphones off. Smile and say hello to everybody you pass regardless if you know them. Your physical and mental health will improve. That’s a Coach Gil guarantee!
- Cheat Code Use the Snatch grip on all deadlift variations for the biggest bang for your buck in regards to building upper back and grip strength. Two things ALL PEOPLE need more of and can never get too much of
- Early Offseason Focus 1) Restore/ Teach Proper Range of Motion 2) Hypertrophy of MTU through time under tension 3) Structural Balance Some Squats from Friday’s training… 72 hours to recover (these dudes may be sore)

00:00 - Find a way in, don’t find a way out. When guys have this mindset, it inspires me as a coach @DukeLeonard1 @FORDHAMFOOTBALL @OL_Coach_Giufre
00:00 - The most undervalued/underutilized piece of S&C “equipment”… THE WALL Medicine Ball work, environmental feedback/support, technique, mobility/activation, breathing/recovery, and a whole host of other uses!
- When the body is stressed, exercise the mind (focused breathing, read, write, meditation,etc.) When the mind is stressed, exercise the body (Run, lift, train, play,etc.) The two are related more than we know and the health of one is predicated on the health of the other.
- Game day Breakfast for our athletes (even on the road) If you care about something, you nourish it. Steak 🥩 , Eggs 🍳 =Dopamine Vegetables 🥗 Berries🫐 🍓 = Fiber Guacamole 🥑 =Fat ☕️⛽️ Extra options include oatmeal, mixed nuts, fruit,Greek yogurt, chicken, roasted potatoes
- I can guarantee anyone who says coaching the bench press is easy, does not press a significant amount of weight. It is a TOTAL body movement that requires consistent coaching, cueing, and practice
