Want an inside look at what happens at The USC Gym when our athletes go through the ringer?
Most of the time, I only post these at the members only forum at Underground Strength Coach.
I wanted to share with you some training with our athletes....
After our warm up, we hit the following workout:
1A) Zercher Squats 5 x 3 - 5 reps
1B) 1 Arm DB Rows 5 x 6 - 8 reps
2A) Log Bar or Swiss Bar Push Press 4 x 5 reps
2B) 1 Arm Kettlebell Clean 4 x 5 reps
3A) Dips 3 x max
3B) Pull Ups 3 x max
Finish with grip and abdominal training.
Our log and swiss bars allow for a parallel grip while pressing, which is more comfortable for our athletes when pressing, as well as more of a natural movement. In the long run, it also places less stress on the rotator cuff and the goal of training is to minimize the wear and tear that already happens via repetitive sport motions.
Note the coupling / superset of movements to improve work capacity. Being in shape is critical, "in shape" is all around physical preparedness and it will carry over to all endeavors. This group is not going through any SPP (Specialized Physical Preparedness) as none of these athletes are approaching their sport.
If you're looking to develop strength that transfers to sports and life, then give the above workout a shot. If you want all the insider "secrets" to what we do and how we build BADA** athletes, then check out our Ultimate Resource at https://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com
The Academy is where we share behind the scenes footage from our certifications, live events, seminars, training at The Underground and MUCH More.
If you are a COACH of any type - sports or strength coach, stop guessing, stop scrolling and start training your athletes the RIGHT way.
How can I NOT share THE Dr. Ken and Coach Mike Gentry Football training video? When I talk Football, I think of this TOUGH Training:
When I see this style of training, that is when I think about athletes training like Gladiators. In a dangerous sport such as Football, I see NO other option to be STRONG AF, powerful and FAST.
Too many parents and athletes themselves think they are "Special" - you are NOT special and neither am I.
DO. THE. WORK.
In strength,
