In my experience playing football, the hardest hits I experienced were in tackling drills. As a coach, I’m more interested in drills that actually teach good technique than just having kids smash into each other.

Any strength coaches watching the CrossFit Games? Definitely not a CrossFit guy, but I enjoy watching these athletes push the limits of fitness every year.
What did we just watch?! 🤯. Colten Mertens with the MASSIVE 570-lb (258.55 kg) back squat to win Event 5. Mertens squat was 15 lb more than the next best lift.

Had chat GPT create a spreadsheet to calculate vertical jump height and RSI. All I have to do is film the exercise and input ground contact time and air time (phones can capture up to a 100th of a second). Will have to do until I get my @OVRPerformance.

8 years old. My son’s cleans are starting to get there! He hit 25 lbs a few times tonight at 60 lb bodyweight. He’s been very consistent with training this summer and the best part is - he’s enjoying it!

Strength Coaches: How many sets do you typically program per workout for your athletes? . I program 16-18 sets per workout 4 over 4 exercises. What do we think is the minimum effective doses and what is then maximum?.
