Developing Power in Adult Populations

February 25, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Adults lose power at a quicker rate then they do strength, making training power extremely important as we age.  The issue is that most adults don’t move as well as they once did, with wear and tear and cranky joints.  Because of this, joint friendly power work is a must. We can’t have an adult … Continue reading Developing Power in Adult Populations

Why and When We Use the Hurdle Jump

February 20, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

The Hurdle Jump and Stick is a progression we use after an athlete has mastered the Box Jump.  The biggest change the athlete has to deal with when progressing to the hurdles is that they now experience a much greater eccentric load due to gravity on the way down — where the box eliminated the … Continue reading Why and When We Use the Hurdle Jump

Overcoming Isometrics for Power Development

February 19, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment
