Pumped to team up with @ericjagers and the rest of the Mets staff. Let’s get to work! #LGM

- Why is ankle mobility important? The longer an athlete can maintain their heel in contact with the ground as the center of mass moves forward, the more torque is held in the rear hip.
00:00 - I like the landmine squat for a few reasons: 1) the path of the bar enforces a good squat pattern - hips back and knees out 2) it's easy to add some volume without loading the spine 3) can load it heavier than goblet squats - more core benefit.
00:00 - Lotta guys paying a lot of money to be publicly seen throwing 78-80. Tough look.
- “We shouldn’t force athletes to pull from the floor. It’s hard to get into that position, especially for taller athletes” 6’9” Thor Bjornsson:.@ThorBjornsson_ HAS DONE IT! He just deadlifted 1,104 pounds, setting a new world record 😮💪 #TheOcho
00:00 - I’ve trained athletes that don’t play college baseball if they didn’t specialize. I’ve trained athletes that were the best at every sport they played. Are the best athletes the best because they play multiple sports or do they play multiple sports because they are the best?2 Freshman baseball players at Ole Miss combined for 353 rushing yards against the #1 team in the country this past Saturday .... I’m not saying don’t specialize in one sport as a kid, but I definitely don’t recommend it... #Athletes
- The forearm unwinding from supination to pronation helps distribute the forces across the forearm muscles to protect the UCL. Manual resistance supination/pronation in fall when throwing intensity is low can help prepare the muscles for the stress of when intensity increases.
00:00 - I can’t stress this enough, the energy system doesn’t change whether you’ve thrown 5 pitches or 100 pitches. It’s still one explosive movement with 15-20 seconds rest, the activity doesn’t change. Physiology doesn’t care about your opinion.
- I can't understand why twitter coaches post videos of their athletes displaying poor technique or cheated reps (bounced deadlifts, partial rep squats). What kind of message is that sending to your athletes about the standards you hold them to? Yes, I'm talking about testing too.
- A trap bar deadlift is not a regression from a conventional deadlift. It’s an entirely different movement. There, I said it.
- No access to a weight room? •Squats •Lunges •Lateral Lunges •Hii Thrust Variations •Push Up Variations (Yoga, T-Push Up, Spiderman Push Up, Bodysaw) •Plank Variations (Shoulder Taps, w/ Reach, Inchworm) •Band Pullaparts Tip: Add a 3:1:1 Tempo to make it more challenging.
- Deadlift cues made simple. 1. Perform a bodyweight RDL. 2. Bend your knees until you can grab the bar. 3. Try to break an apple between your armpits.
