Shoulder Pain When Pressing?

July 31, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

The overhead press is an important and fundamental movement, but lots of people can’t overhead press pain free. This could be because of; Poor form Poor rotator cuff activation Poor positioning If you are one of the people that tend to have shoulder pain when pressing, give the KB Bottoms Up Press a shot. Generally … Continue reading Shoulder Pain When Pressing?

Monday Musings

July 30, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Happy Monday! Here are a few thoughts bouncing around in my head after a week of reading, podcasts and other continuing ed. Enjoy! "Leave a little bit in the tank." As I start to plan out some of the training going forward with the teams I work with, especially in-season, that's my thought process. I … Continue reading Monday Musings

Weekend Week in Review

July 29, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Another week, another group of podcasts and articles to read and listen to that I have dived into this past week. There was some really good stuff put out there, especially podcasts. For podcasts, I really enjoyed the newest Strength Coach Podcast with Brandon Marcello. A lot of talk on sleep, which I think is … Continue reading Weekend Week in Review

Jumping vs. Bands

July 25, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Adding bands to some of your jumps, like broad jumps and lateral bounds, are a great way to not only add an accommodating resistance but also a great way to decrease some of the pounding that the landing places on the athlete, eliminated potential lower extremity injuries and soreness. Coaching Cues: toss the band around … Continue reading Jumping vs. Bands

2KB Front Squat

July 24, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Thought of the day...you should feel better as a result of your training, not worse. I am the classic trainee that suffers from low back pain/issues whenever I had previous back or front squatted. Because of that I went a LONG time without doing much bilateral squatting, besides tossing in some goblet squats every once … Continue reading 2KB Front Squat

Monday Musings

July 23, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Happy Monday! Here are a few thoughts bouncing around in my head after a week of reading, podcasts and other continuing ed. Enjoy! I think it is imperative that we as strength coaches remain positive with the athletes and/or clients we are coaching. People beat themselves up enough as it is – I don’t think … Continue reading Monday Musings

Another week, another group of podcasts and articles to read and listen to that I have dived into this past week. There was some really good stuff put out there, especially podcasts. For podcasts, without a doubt, listen to the Joe Rogan Experience with David Goggins. David Goggins entire story is unreal as is what … Continue reading Weekend Week in Review

Developing Horizontal Power

July 21, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

It’s fairly simple to develop vertical power in the weight room with traditional Olympic lifts and traditional vertical based plyometric movements, but developing horizontal power becomes a little trickier, especially if you are like me and don’t love traditional broad jumps because of the shear forces of the landing, which scare me a little. One … Continue reading Developing Horizontal Power

Decreasing Hamstring Stress

July 19, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Our goal as Strength coaches should be to find the exercise that yields the highest possible result with the lowest possible cost. Because of the demands of the sport, the exercises we choose will change at different times of the year. Perfect example; both men’s and women’s basketball have returned for their summer session. With … Continue reading Decreasing Hamstring Stress

Alternating KB Dead Bug with Hip Flexion

July 17, 2018Craig Edwards Leave a comment

One of the biggest dysfunctions we see when we bring athletes through the FMS is a poor score on the active straight leg raise, meaning someone is having trouble engaging their core while their legs are moving - something that is kind of important in sports. Here we have added a band around the bottom … Continue reading Alternating KB Dead Bug with Hip Flexion
