Here is an avid lifter, Aroldis Chapman, who smashes weights. Seems to do ok to me 🤷‍♂️

Baseball players, get in the weight room!

Kyle Kirvay squats 600 POUNDS for 17 reps!

Notice the TYR weightlifting shoes with a built in raised heel. This allows him to achieve perfect positions without compromising form due to a restriction in right side ankle mobility.

A Dad reached out with a question:

"How do I help my son get faster and stronger without trashing his CNS and making him slower?"

His son's high school coach had the team running an outdated program: high volume, high intensity, not enough recovery. Dad was worried and he was right to ask.

But first, let's kill the biggest myth in youth sport performance.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗬𝗧𝗛: Lifting makes athletes slow.

It doesn't. Here's what actually does:

A total lack of explosive movement makes athletes slow.

Athletes spend an offseason lifting heavy, eating big, sitting on the couch. Six months later they're heavier, stronger, and slower. Easy to blame the lifting but the real culprit is the absence of any high velocity movement.

𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 #𝟭: Stop sprinting entirely.

The SAID Principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands) says it all. The body gets better at what you ask it to do. Never ask it to move fast, and it won't prioritize speed.

𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 #𝟮: Do too much, too often.

Excessive volume creates fatigue. Fatigued athletes can't produce maximal outputs. No maximal outputs = no speed development. Training is like medicine. The right dose fixes the problem. Too much creates a new one.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱

1. Program the right weight room volume.
• 6 to 8 exercises per session
• 20 to 25 total sets
• 2 to 4 sessions per week

2. Gain weight at a sustainable rate.
Target 1 to 2 lb per month. Weight gain is 90% diet and 10% training. The barbell alone won't turn your athlete into a slow, bulky lineman.

3. Sprint consistently.
Max effort, low volume sprint work is the most underutilized tool in athlete development. Field sport athletes also need multidirectional speed, change of direction, and agility. Not just straight line work. Aim for 2 to 3 dedicated speed sessions per week.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸

✅ Lift: 6 to 8 exercises | 20 to 25 sets | 2 to 3x per week
✅ Sprint and move explosively: 2 to 3x per week
✅ Gain weight at a controlled pace: 1 to 2 lb per month

Strong and fast is not a contradiction. It's the goal. The athletes who achieve both aren't lucky. They're just programmed correctly.

Get in the weight room with your teammates and experience some shared pain. If you are lifting on your own, or with your Dad/uncle/trainer, show up for testing day and show the progress you’ve made. Every situation is different but results don’t lie.
