That's it. That's the problem with highschool football strength and conditioning. The kids always go too light and don't want to max out all the time. College too. The guys get hurt because they're underworked

[Dylan Manna @MannaDylan]

Here are some catching highlights from this weeks series vs Hinsdale Central.

3 runners CS

Great few weeks driving balls to right center, center, left and a bomb. Pitching well too in conference. 3 weeks left! Set another PR with 525 squats at 198 body weight.

@robert23190 @ILFreedomCaucus They just want tax certainty. They’ve said multiple times they’re more than willing to pay taxes. They just don’t want the school districts coming in after 2 years and demanding their taxes increase significantly. Which all those school districts would definitely do.

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

Wow more pro athletes doing basic strength exercises, squatting & getting stronger?

Not balancing on a bosu ball or training for the circus?

Learn from it. Fundamentals = 🔑

Simple ≠ easy

@JamesFox917 Public schools in Texas have GM’s. Illinois public schools are just behind in the times.

[Coach Jackson Joyce @coach_joyce]

[Grant Seppelfrick @grantseppy]

Team had another good week going 3-1. Had a good game against Batavia. Always grinding to be better.

Also set my new PR at 510 lbs at 200 bodyweight this week.

Trap bar deadlifts, rows, bench press, explosive medicine ball work, cuts & sprints

Notice: no circus tricks on bosu balls or eyewash

Good for the pros, great for the youth athlete

Simple ≠ easy

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

The average parent thinks their 12 year old needs different exercises, strobe lights & fancy training

Another pro team hammering basics, fundamentals & doing it with intent

Simple ≠ easy

This study modeled peak muscle forces across four running speeds and the numbers tell you something important about what sprinting demands.

The hamstrings go from 2.10 times bodyweight at 3.49 m/s to 8.95 at 8.99 m/s.

The iliopsoas shows a similar jump, rising to 9.04 times

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

Nolan McLean's Sweeper broke 26 inches and is absolutely dotted. 😳

Where were you when Sammy Sosa obliterated a GPS measured 536-foot homerun down Kenmore Avenue off Brewers pitcher Luis Vizcaíno?

[Fred Duncan @Fred__Duncan]

A lot of what gets called innovative now is just old training with better marketing.

Different language or packaging, but same underlying ideas.

That doesn’t mean every old method was perfect. It means good coaches have been solving the same problems for a long time…how to
