- He begged me to let him squat 100Lbs before I head to spring training, so I caved in since I knew he could do it. Plus it gives him a lot of confidence too. We went up to 103Lbs since I didn’t have a set of 0.5kg plates. He’s excited, I’m proud of him. Big day for this kid! Also,

00:00 - He’s 10yrs old, my rule has always been he can’t go past 115% body weight… so this was his last third single at 92Lbs. Looking solid💪… not many kids can do 3 singles at 115% BW. And yes, it is safe for kids to lift, if you don’t believe it I’ll link several papers below:
00:00 - Conversation before this throw: Lee: dad let me throw towards the house because you have more of a chance of breaking a window Me: no because i throw right to your glove Lee: but you throw harder and I’ll be careful” Me: 🤦♂️ #baseball
00:00 - I was reminded today a lot of folks still think weight training is dangerous for kids, while the past 24yrs of research say otherwise. So to 🗣️ facts, every 20 retweets of this🧵I will send 1 person a free copy of my Best Selling📖Move Like a Pro (must also follow this account)
00:00 - I got my #1 ALL TIME GRAIL sneaker!! 🤩. Traded the AMM Jordan4, Thunder Jordan4 and Reimagined Jordan 3 and 50cents. #sneakerhead
- Landmine Squat Press is a great way to develop a power base. It’s an exercise that I don’t think is used enough at the high school level. #power #strengthTraining
00:00 - He’s 7. He’s been lifting for 3 years, but only when he asks to. My rule for him is he can go up to 115% of his body weight, he can easily do more but form and reps are priority for youth development. LBS/KGs on the bar are not what’s important at this age. It’s just enough
00:00 - Proud dad moment. My 6yr old usually asks to squat 2-3 times a week. We usually use his 5kg bar, but today he wanted to use my 20kg mens bar, and he did great. (Longer bar, harder to balance). He’s 50Lbs and the bar is 44 Lbs, and he’s been squatting with weights for 2 years.
00:00 - Replying to @MarchMadnessWBBWhoa this is a solution to limited space?!? 😱 @NCAA @ncaawbb fly me out there, I’ll help you set up a proper strength & conditioning facility for the ladies... I’ll even stay the entire tournament and make sure it runs smoothly and I’d do that for free.
00:00 - A good S&C coach cannot prevent injuries. But a good one can certainly help reduce the likelihood of injuries through proper programming. Creating healthier athletes who can successfully handle the stresses of their season needs to be #1 priority over performance increases.
- First Day at my new job... I’m beyond excited to be a Minor League Strength Coach with the Detroit Tigers! To my Walton Athletes, you guys are awesome, my phone is always on, hit me up if you need anything. @tigers @WaltonAthletics @NSCA @NhsscaG
