Speed Coach Asks: Strength Training WithOUT A Weight Room?
I recently had a Coach who is running Speed Training Camps for athletes ask about incorporating Strength work while out on the field as they have No access to the weight room. This is a GREAT question and I am psyched to hear from a Coach who understands that being STRONG is integral to the development of speed. To some, being without a weight room is seen as a dilemma, for me, this is where I was born & bred, lifting heavy objects in backyards and empty fields.Nothing fancy about what … [Read more...]

Healthy Shoulders Are Worth Their Weight In Gold
When your shoulders have issues, the rest of your body will suffer. Trust me. Been there, done that on MANY fronts. Back in high school I remember feeling like someone was stabbing my shoulder with a knife every time I perform the dumbbell press with the elbows out. I had half a brain and tested elbows in and it worked. In my mind 20s my brother and I wound up wrestling and I was in a precarious position and refused to let go. The result was a tear to the rotator cuff. It was so painful I was … [Read more...]

The body quickly gets bored and adapts to training methods unless you implement variety. Variety can be the training tools, the speed of the exercises, the range of motion, the … [Read more...]

Using sandbags has helped with developing explosive power, brute strength, mental toughness and has even reduced injuries and weakness in odd / awkward positions that tend to happen during sports such as the round back position in wrestling, lifting opponents … [Read more...]
