Always using the 👀 and 🧠 during training. Love this drill we’ve been using.

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Do coaches still cue their athletes to land “softly”? I really don’t see the value in that cue

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Head swivel occurs in every team sport. Train it. Great as a warm-up or higher intensity exercise to train the 🧠 and body to work together

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Adjusting on the fly!

Vertimax drill for hoopers, mainly for post players catching the ball coming in from outside the arc. Using one handle of the vertimax mimics battling off the defender while going up for the ball.

@Coach_Swole Love using the McGill Press for the single arm bench. We use it a lot

Boys were battling today

@JulianLoCasto Was just talking about this to our staff/parents/athletes. We have some kids whose coaches are making them run a 2 mile or a 5 mile 🤦‍♂️… make it make sense

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Great drill for team sport athletes who constantly change direction. Decelerating on the weighted lunge forward and quickly accelerating the other way

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Love the plyo push-up not only for the exercise, but for a upper body power testing measurement. Just use a jump mat and get the mean of however many push-ups or the highest score

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Pair each of these with a lat pull down to get the concentric action. After completing both phases, notice the results!

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Have been seeing MASSIVE results using Kilo Strength Society’s progression of chin-ups.

Phase 1: 10 sec. eccentrics (start chin above bar): need 15 total reps over all sets to get to phase 2.

Phase 2: 10 sec. isometrics at 3 different ranges: need 12 total reps

I had asked one of my new high school senior athlete who’s commited D3 if he’s ever used a trapbar in his school training. His response, “No my coach said the hex bars are for girls, and would only let us use the straight bars”.
🤬🤬🤬

Co-worker came up with this exercise for acceleration emphasizing hip extension in the one leg compared to normal tank push. Forces you to get foot down to ground faster and creates greater horizontal push on the one leg. I thought it was pretty neat. Thoughts?

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Working on top speed mechanics. Shortened the pendulum length of the recovery leg (video on the right) to increase leg speed. Also better downstroke of the arm in the video on the right. Arms help determine tempo of the sprint!

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Move around and be athletic. Chaos med ball drill. React and attack.

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Best most affordable timing gates for a small privately owned facility? Would like them to be portable as well to get on a bigger field.

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

@missEmitche11 It’s not just about the weight room. Attending my athlete’s games means a lot to them. Builds great with relationships and trust with not just the athlete but the parents as well.

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Few things to look for when accelerating

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

@revival_perform Got it makes sense. Thank you!

[Alex Shusterman @alex_shusterman]

Can someone please explain the difference between foot and ankle pronation? I didn’t think there was a difference, but now I’m hearing there is, so I just want clarification
