I first heard this 30 years ago at age 17, when my trainer Jay Schroeder DRILLED it into my soul. I still remember the day we met. He told me, “I don’t want you to squat 450 pounds in 3 seconds… I want you to squat 350 pounds in ½ second. THAT’S power.”
To train with him, he forced me to write a daily training log that timed the concentric portion of EVERY rep, EVERY set, EVERY exercise with a stopwatch. I did this for 6 straight months before he allowed me to train at his gym.
It took over an hour daily to write the log, but what I learned about my body and performance was invaluable. Training with this intent changes everything: to move max weights at high speed, EVERYTHING matters. Technique and position must be flawless, no power leaks. You learn to eccentrically LOAD, not just drop with gravity and momentum. My body awareness skyrocketed.
Speed is king. Details and intention matter. I stopped caring about increasing my max and started caring about moving my max FASTER. It’s the primary reason I transformed myself from a walk-on who ran 4.8 to a first-round pick who ran 4.3.
The play being called a touchdown on the field was the real robbery.
Never any clear control from anyone, both guys touching the ball while laying on the sideline, the Miami player was the one who came away with it right in front of the ref.
It being called a TD was ridiculous.
This is unreal 😭
"Don't take this the wrong way, but we are already on no-hitter alert. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, before he throws a single pitch tonight against the Marlins."
Miami's Jazz Chisholm takes the first pitch deep.
Jason & Travis Kelce talking about the ridiculousness of baseball conditioning…
“It makes no sense.”
“You should be running SPRINTS or doing base running. Not running foul pole to foul pole.”
STOP treating baseball players like marathoners
There is a difference of a tight Psoas on both sides and tightness on primarily one side. The approach is not the same!
Much of the information on Psoas tightness on the internet is relevant to when it is on both sides.

@MarcHochman and @OfficialCrowder we'll be working the concession stand at section 305 on Thursday. I know you VIP individuals will likely be in the club level but stop by and visit our organization. We're volunteering to raise money for our charity
The #5 most-read TFC article in 2021 was written by Tony Holler about a lactate tolerance drill created by @korfist around 15 years ago. The "23-Second Drill" is now done world-wide by tens of thousands of track teams. Published on Valentines Day, 2018. https://t.co/o938mcT0ez

Step-Ups with only a same-side load are a fantastic exercise for training full range hip extension.
The (moderate) load is acting to pull you off to the stance-side leg, which requires you to create stronger hip extension propulsive strategy through the glutes & hip abductors.
Kickstand Hinge
This hits the glutes, hamstrings, & adductors hard while driving internal rotation on the front leg.
This is ideal for athletes that need to “get in” their hips for a cut, swing, etc.
Be sure to push into wall with rear foot to facilitate turn into front hip.
