@pntrack How does speed work not cause fatigue?

At the end of the day in order to get stronger. You need to strain yourself with proper volume and intensity to make further adaptation. Quite simple, every rep should have intent!

Squatting with a vertical torso? Never heard of it. Your torso angle will be slightly horizontal when back squatting, it’s part of squatting mechanics. Your goal shouldn’t be to squat completely vertical, it’s improper and mitigate progress.

@CoachSmeal @jaegersports Keep throwing to maintain capacity of high volume throwing

@CoachHerman_ You’re in youth sports why are you taking stats anyways? Also why post this on Twitter no need to further embarrass others

The human body isn’t FRAGILE‼️Stop treating the human skeleton as a fragile framework , it’s complete nonsense. Don’t be fearful of movement or of imbalances because someone with a title next to their name said so. Humans are ADAPTABLE❗️❗️❗️

Peak performance is an infinite game with no fixed rules and the field of play is as big or small as you choose to live your life. It’s a game that may be unwinnable but you can definitely lose. To win the game of peak performance, one has to dedicate their life to the game.

Long lever hamstring work is great not only to increase fascicle length but to also get strong in disadvantageous positions. Stiff Leg Deadlifts and Deficit Deadlifts of all variations are great to overload and to keep you strong yet mobile on the field.

Specific Adaptions To Imposed Demands (SAID Principle)…High volume isolation work is more important than you think. During the off season, we must build volume tolerance around the joints that get banged up the most in your sport.

You think low back training is dangerous? Having a weak low back is even more dangerous….

Heavy lifting has amazing benefits, cannot argue with the facts. However, if heavy lifting is diminishing joint integrity or the athlete is not advancing in their sport. Does the number on the bar really matter?

“The difference between medicine and poison is the dose.” Same concept applies to training with volume, intensity, and exercise selection.

Sport is essentially a chaotic environment with high volume of rapid eccentric movement and loading. Strength training can help mitigate injuries within sport. However, strength training does not prevent injury.
