If youâre an athlete or coach looking to train under the same system I use with my athletes, I have openings for my Online Strength & Speed Training. Whatâs included âŹïž -Comprehensive sprinting, jumping, and strength programming -4 sessions per week, delivered weekly -Demo

An alternate route I use personally and with some lifters⊠Using BMT and ME in the same week. Day 1: Max Effort Press Day 3: BMT Press in Waves This can only be sustainable in very structured environments where thr athlete and coach can choose correct loads and correct

The fastest way theoretically to improve strength is to use the Max Effort method multiple times a week with repeated exercises. The body puts a stop to that quick via fatigue mechanisms. So we have programming solutions⊠1. Utilize change of exercise with same intensity

Speed is not about Fast Feet. Itâs about ground force. The fastest athletes create the most separation from the ground per contact. The further they can propel their mass per step, the faster times they runđđ»

You cannot accelerate a squat as fast as you can Jump. Jumping allows you to access speeds that truly cannot be replicated by any strength exercise. Therefore if Explosive Strength is what youâre after⊠Jumping should take priority.

When developing Strength, Power and Speed⊠By resting optimally, we can output more per set/session leading to a more productive stimulus. When chasing efficient adaptation, thereâs no substitute for Rest. Tired Athletes donât get more Explosive!đđ»

I donât buy the âyou shouldnât miss reps in trainingâ. If youâre pushing with the right intent at the correct loads, you will miss reps. You shouldnât build your training around missed lifts BUT if you never actually strain against load, you leave strength on the table.

And you accept that you canât neglect extremes of velocity. At some point you must strain. At some point you must hit high speeds. You just sequence it to get an optimal adaptation.

This doesnât mean you must utilize max effort, bands, chains or speciality equipment day 1. Itâs simply adopting the thought process that you will steadily develop all qualities with the methods of muscular tension. Youâre willing to use many tools to drive adaptations.

At some point you HAVE to go Conjugate You donât really have an option if youâre looking at this thing long term. If you arenât addressing all Velocities with a variety of means, you end up detrained in one area or you get broken. Might as well start on the right path

An athletes primary focus in the weight-room should be centered around improving Relative Strength. As an athletes relative strength increases⊠âŹïž 1. More Explosive Power 2. Less likely to incur injury 3. Greater sprint speed 4. Improved mobility 5. Faster COD

Athletes face compressive forces year round. Adding traction based movements may be a way to combat this pressure and keep athletes healthy. Hereâs some exercises in our rotation âŹïž Reverse hypers ATP Marches Belt Squats Sled Drags Standing Banded Abs

The BMT method doesnât lose.
Brief Maximal Tension. Easy way to help kids develop strength! These charts are from the past 3 weeks of training. Following the undulating scheme @ZacGoodman_ & @BurnTheLadders have talked about and cover in this Twitter thread will up your game!

Every rep, set, and session is a message to the body. When employ methods such as Circuit training to an athlete who is trying to become more explosive⊠you dull the effects for both Strength and Endurance. Developing Strength takes specific inputs for optimal resultsđđ»

DB Jumps should not be programmed for multiple reps per set. They should be done with max effort intent, followed by 30-60 seconds of rest. We program 4-8 sets of 1 for our sessions all on a feedback device. This is how we create intensity and also break PRs frequently

Box Squats donât make you more Athleticâ This is a take that I seen online that I think has to be addressed as thereâs some missing context. Firstly, âathletic abilityâ is just oneâs ability to overcome gravity to a greater extent. The best athletes run faster, jump higher,
