- High school strength training with mobility work. Loading the hip and ankle always has a place with programming. ▪️Floating heel calf raise ▪️Heel clicks ▪️Shin box rotation ▪️Heel to hand/t-spine rotation ▪️Landmine sway ▪️Cossack squat ▪️Pigeon pose ▪️Lateral lunge ▪️FR raises
00:00 - 2.8 million people die of obesity every year. If the government wanted to prioritize your health, mandates would look significantly different.POTUS: “I know vaccination requirements aren’t popular… but my administration didn’t put them in place to control your life, they put them in place to save your life.”
- Training the trunk is more than Russian twists and holding a plank until an athlete aggravates their low back: ▪️Bird dog rows ▪️Ab wheel ▪️Side plank with leg lift ▪️Reverse GH roll ▪️Banded deadbugs ▪️Copenhagen holds ▪️Bear crawl plate switches ▪️Landmine rotation

- There’s a lot of talk about unilateral training today Here’s 5 lower body movements I want every ⚽️ athlete to progress and get stronger with: ▪️Skater Squat ▪️Single leg RDL ▪️Single leg Squat ▪️RFESS ▪️Single leg eccentric hamstring rolls or slides
00:00 - I think this is cool for a couple of reasons: 1. The greatest current bodybuilder has shifted his training to more friendly movements that make him feel better. He’s dropped back squat for front squats, makes sense CBum would FS. 2. He sees the value in moving athletically.
00:00 - Pull-up strength should be pursued with the same importance as bench, squat, and deadlift strength.
00:00 - “Mobility training is just good strength training.” Instead of mobility days, have your athletes lift in different ranges of motion. ▪️Skater squats ▪️Single leg squats ▪️Front squats ▪️Cossack squats ▪️Back squats ▪️Barbell RDLs ▪️Goblet squats
00:00 - High school athletes should only be training before school if there’s no other choice. Teenagers need as much sleep as possible. 6 a.m. lifts for the sake of toughness: ▪️Makes kids tired, not tough ▪️Forces athletes to train under less than ideal circumstances
- Single leg, split stance, and staggered variations should make up the bulk of lower body training in LTAD: ▪️Skater squats ▪️DB split squats ▪️SSB split squats ▪️SSB reverse lunge ▪️RFESS ▪️Single leg squat ▪️Eccentric GH slide ▪️Staggered RDL ▪️Single leg RDL ▪️Staggered TB DL
