Favorite landing drill...

[Nico Capezio @PumasTrack]

@TrackCoachTG My worry is when it is an off season workout where nobody is present to record a time they are blindly completing the workout. Time and measurements are too valuable to be watered down into a percentage when it is untimed.

[Nico Capezio @PumasTrack]

Open for conversation...⬇️

When coaches provide sprinters with workouts stating @ "70%" speed, how is an athlete supposed to interpret that? Where does that number come from?

[Nico Capezio @PumasTrack]

@MikeBasic2 So you are doing reps that don't matter? Is the kid doing it at 78.88% achieving more than those who are at 62.13%? The likely hood of achieving 70% exactly is extremely low so why even prescribe? Part of coaching is correction.

Gout Gout on the curve is a thing of beauty. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

THIS IS THE New Concept in Core Training.
WeckMethod.
We simply put fundamental principles into practice. Simple. TRUE.

Fight / Flight Response Ability (with perfectly balanced locomotion) is the only acceptable target.
Duh. (Why would you EVER build strength on dysfunction - like walking out of balance to begin with????). Serious question. Deafening silence.

AND… to make matters even better, we can literally “WeckMethodize” ANY exercise or movement. To create better carryover than you’re getting now. Bold. TRUE.

And I Stand FIRM that you NEVER perform “anti-rotation” training as peer review exercise “science” defined it.

It’s worse than useless.

It does what we MUST NOT DO. Upset Force Transmission (with imbalance and delay) - you’re uprooting yourself exactly what we DON’T want, with your pallof presses.

Stu, obviously the soup has reached a Boyle. When are you guys going to address the Paradigm Shift in Core Training?

YOU Guys are at the center of the “anti-core” dark ages of S&C.

You messed up HUGE. It’s time to Relate to Gait… or go home.
