Masterclass 2 minute video on perfecting the starting position for the snatch.

You need a technician as a coach like @lucas_lorian who knows exactly what to look for and the understanding of how tweaks in the starting position can make or break the completion of the lift down the line.

Muscle activation has become somewhat of a contentious topic.

Muscle activation exercises like you see here isn’t to say that the muscle isn’t working at all, but instead trying to get it to fire more and harder.

Due to injuries, compensations, stress, lack of sleep, etc. certain muscles may not contract to their maximum potential. Selective exercises, end range isometrics, and mind muscle connection can be helpful in getting muscles to contract better.

Using @stickmobility during your warm up can be a create way to create and improve range of motion needed for your workout.

Athletes need a certain amount of flexibility and mobility to perform movements in their workout. Mobility sticks are a great tool to help in this process.

As a strength coach, it’s great to understand the different training splits and methods you can use.

What’s actually important is know how, when, and what order to use them.

@bommaritos talks about not only the different methods of training he uses with his elite athletes in the NHL, but also when and why.

Last video with Pete Bommarito is up on YouTube now. Enjoy.

Athletic qualities are not separate from each other.

Strength influences power. Power interacts with speed. Mobility is intertwined with strength. Coordination is involved with them all.

Stop thinking that these qualities are separate and in their own silos. They all influence each other and your athletes potential.

Full body workout for college football athletes in their early offseason at @ets.grandrapids.mi

@coachgabemiller22 walks the group through each movement, the volume, and the intent of the movement. Not only how to do each exercise, but the focus and the “why” behind what the players are doing.

Speed drills and exercises are on full display at Bommaritos.

@bommaritos is a master when it comes to everything speed. When it comes down to the scientific principles and joint biomechanics from the big toe through the pelvis - Pete knows it all.

This is one exercise of many that were used in this speed training session with NFL athletes. Full video is on YouTube now. Enjoy.

Everyone is familiar with the squat, bench, and deadlift. What if that’s not enough? What if an athlete gets strong with these, but performance stalls? What is they start getting injured?

Exercises don’t have to fit in the traditional box. Exercises can look unique, as long as the coach understands what muscles or movements they are looking to stress.

Do exercises that actually help the athlete in front of you.

Everyone thinks football players lift all the time. Yes, they typically have a lot of muscle and lift more often than some other sports - but at the highest level it comes down to load management.

The amount of time and work football players will spend on the field needs to be taken into account. To add more and more stress onto their plate in the weightroom is not the answer.

Earlier in the offseason when they are doing less football specific work, they will lift more often. As season get closer, it’s time to pull back from the weights and focus more energy on the field.

When it comes to strength and conditioning/sports performance, there are so many different systems, methods, and coaches to learn from.

From heavy strength training, to mobility, to coordination, conditioning, speed, power, etc. there are many different fields to pull from and learn about.

The best coaches can siphon out what’s useful and what’s BS.

There is always debate about how much strength training athletes need compared to field based movement training (speed, agility, plyos, decel, etc.).

@jeff_crutcher5 includes both. Both are important for overall athlete development. The amount of time focused on each will change depending on the athlete, time of year, and phase of the program.

Breathing and bracing for the squat can be the difference between a failed lift and a completed lift.
Back pain and no issue.
Stronger back muscles and stronger leg muscles.

Like @zreinig27 explains, proper breathing and bracing build tension in the trunk and torso like shaking up a can of soda. This allows your legs to push force directly into the bar.
