Push Ups Underrated?

January 16, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

As I’ve said before, the Push Up is a completely under-utilized movement in most strength programs. I think it’s thought of this way because coaches/trainees don’t think it can be progressed much and/or you can’t get strong with the movement, which I’d disagree with. Loading the movement with plates and chains is not only a … Continue reading Push Ups Underrated?

More Than Just Olympic Lifts?

January 15, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

I love Olympic lifts. We use them all the time with our athletes, no matter the sport. But I am also not naive enough to think that all athletes NEED to perform/learn them or that there aren’t alternatives that can result in many of the same benefits.  Which is why you will see a variety … Continue reading More Than Just Olympic Lifts?

Sleds With All Athletes?

January 13, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Every athlete, regardless of sport, should be performing sled work. It could be Marches for hip extension strength. It could be sprints for speed development. It could be crossovers for frontal plane strength and groin health work. It could be drags to work the quads. Or, it could be continuous work for conditioning. Lots to … Continue reading Sleds With All Athletes?

Lateral Squat vs. Lateral Lunge

January 9, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

Strength Training Teminology PSA: there is a difference between Lateral Squats and Lateral Lunges A Lateral Squat is stationary, meaning the feet never leave the ground, as you can see in the first video. A Lateral Lunge, which is a progression from the Lateral Squat for us because of the increased deceleration, is more dynamic … Continue reading Lateral Squat vs. Lateral Lunge

Double Clutch Overhead Slam

January 8, 2021Craig Edwards Leave a comment

I love med ball work.  It’s a great way to teach the core to transfer power from the legs through the arms. It’s a great way to train power in planes that you can’t with a barbell. It can also be a great way to teach the core and shoulder to decelerate, just as you … Continue reading Double Clutch Overhead Slam
