https://t.co/xAIboYcEF4 Always an honor to have an article published on EliteFTS. I write and present to get feedback from more people in an effort to improve our program. Thank you for anybody who decides to give this a read. Any comments or questions are appreciated.

Two-fer Tuesday! Breaking down the wonderful swing.https://t.co/HPraxkXPh6

Since we've all been stuck without a gym for months and we don't know what will happen when gyms do open back up, I figure I'll start some discussion about equipment that you can use for a long list of activities and exercises.

This has been something I've been doing a lot during my time away from the gym. It's simple and keeps me from over analyzing what I can and should be doing.https://t.co/fx1AwR9KhP

As I've mentioned before, there isn't much that we do in the training of our athletes that is exactly how we want to do it. Then add to that COVID-19 and the changes we will need to make to keep our athletes as safe as possible.https://t.co/3UJGlhNpJW

Where we provide anything you could even imagine as, "sport specific," is within the warm up and the accessory movements. https://t.co/y5fJAjOq1d

Because my presentation was supposed to be a "hands on", I had stuff planned for the audience to try. All of what I had planned as part of the activity was our mobility work. https://t.co/h9GcW3hFV4

We've come to the conclusion that because a majority of our athletes have a fairly low training age, we can train more on the strength side 3-4 days per week. https://t.co/x9IKInVAD9

[Bobby Fisk @BobbyFisk]

Doing this has helped us tremendously in organizing what we want to accomplish. And when we see something new we can either add it or change something we already have in the workbook. https://t.co/pvogAWU4YA

I've been thinking about Starting Strength because of where we will be with our athletes in the fall. For many, they will be starting all over again. https://t.co/KKixsxFE9S

The warm up is where you can check some boxes in terms of sport specificity and other stuff you believe in. https://t.co/JoTeUJsrk6

"What's your template?" is a question that is very similar to, "whaddaya bench?" https://t.co/88OOipELG0

[Bobby Fisk @BobbyFisk]

So what do you want to do? This is a question of belief more than anything else. What do you believe in? The answer to that will guide what you want to do. As an example, let me show you what we currently believe: https://t.co/tXT0wkBzss

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. https://t.co/CTCuGD6loW

How you go about this process is what makes you a coach and not a workout giver. https://t.co/1hXR4axRaT

I'm dating myself by continuing to use the "15 years" in the title. No more of that.

I've spent the past few weeks and a bunch of posts discussing the exercise variables that are important to understand when setting up a strength and conditioning program. https://t.co/Z8MKOwjRIf

[Bobby Fisk @BobbyFisk]

The basics are the basics for a reason. They work. https://t.co/oZ5MN734Ma

[Bobby Fisk @BobbyFisk]

A bunch of questions, but there are some answers that matter most. We will typically train through the warm up with some pace and no rest. Move fast and get warm. https://t.co/2NIsgBCmWc

As you progress in your career and learn from others who have done it before you, you will develop a system for training. For example, progressions and regressions that you learn, like or dislike, and tweak to make your own. https://t.co/kM7d2fXWpM
