The Basics Aren’t Broken

September 28, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Quick thought on a Saturday morning: Results, health and performance don’t come from the new exercise of the week on social media, they come from consistently training the basics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs5-3FHQLKI

How We Implement Acceleration Work With Hockey

September 26, 2019June 9, 2020Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Test and train what matters. If you really watch the sport, you realize that hockey is all about rapid acceleration. In a typical shift, most players will never reach top speed but will be asked to accelerate in small spaces numerous times, with most races for pucks and/or possession won by the player with the … Continue reading How We Implement Acceleration Work With Hockey

5-20-5 Density Circuit

September 25, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

The 5-20-5 rep scheme is something I picked up from Kevin Carr a while back and something I go back to from time to time when I’m looking for a quick but hard circuit or workout. 🔶 Pick two exercises to perform for 5 reps...these should be compound exercises, something you get a lot of … Continue reading 5-20-5 Density Circuit

Why We Still Hang Clean

September 24, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Though Loaded Jumps have become a huge component to our loaded power development, Hang Cleans still have their place in our program. ✔️ Taxes entire body/kinetic chain ✔️ Teaches an athlete to develop/produce force ✔️ Teaches an athlete to properly absorb force ✔️ ⬆️ Fast-Twitch fibers ✔️ Fun➖most athletes really enjoy them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DgLk9ME92w

Don’t Over Complicate the Training Process

September 24, 2019Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Too many coaches make this stuff more complicated then it needs to be. ✅ Want to get fast? Sprint ✅ Want to get strong? Lift weights ✅ Want to keep progressing strength? Lift different weights at different speeds (isometric and eccentric work) at different times throughout the year ✅ Do it consistently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_PmR58_ZDY

Happy Monday! Here are a few thoughts bouncing around in my head after a week of reading, podcasts, cruising social media and any other continuing ed. Enjoy! This seems like common sense and something that we shouldn't have to continually go over, but our job as strength coaches/sport performance professionals is to keep athletes healthy … Continue reading Monday Musings
