The spinning elbow is a new skill unlocked for Drew. We get the added benefit of improving power while also bulletproofing. The bulletproofing comes from applying dynamic rotational forces in the opposite direction of the kicking form, striking with the upper limbs. Even greater are the neurological benefits of working hard at a new skill. Drew is becoming quite the weapon!
CNS training, strength, & injury prevention all in one session. You know I love the boxing footwork drills to get the CNS firing. Southeastern Louisiana University Athletics football has a solid weapon in Drew Talley.
My new friend does not want a social media presence, but he does want to advocate for the benefits of exercise and martial arts for epilepsy. On the surface level strength training will help improve bone density as epilepsy medications can compromise bone health. On a deeper level strength training and martial arts significantly lowers chronic stress, which is a psychological trigger for seizures. With each session the stress threshold lowers therefore improving the seizure threshold. For epilepsy I prefer the warrior approach to training. Slow methodical movements, with heavy focus on breath control to keep stress low. So inspiring seeing those living with chronic issues choosing the discomfort of the gym to improve their situation.
He’s back at it!! I’m throwing everything at Drew and like a zombie he keeps pushing forward. When you hear the phrase “athlete’s work ethic” this is what they are referring to. Consistency beats everything!
Getting ready for the SLU football season!! My man Drew has a LEG!!! I had a lot of fun nerding out on kicking mechanics.
Although I designed this exercise for pole vaulting, it will provide great benefits to Drew as a kicker for Southeastern Louisiana University Athletics football . By combining the Freak Athlete Hyper Pro and the Major Fitness F22, we are able to create a scenario where Drew is hyperextending at the hip increasing the stretch on the abdominals and hip flexors, improving his bodies ability to generate force without taking on damage. The cable system forces Drew to maintain thoracic and scapular stability throughout the move which solidifies the postural connection between the lower body, core, and upper body.
Consistency beats everything! Lady Hawks are showing up!
Bulletproofing with Drew so he’s ready to represent SLU Football this season. Strength and joint stability for today’s session.
Dylan and Carson hold the record for getting this boxing footwork drill mastered the quickest. Great nervous system warm up before heavy lifting. Thrilled to have them with the Recoil tribe. They will be setting the soccer pitch ablaze next season!
Jude working on neuromuscular communication. Training to maintain stable shooting form on an unstable surface. Improving Jude’s ability to maintain proper form moving through traffic. Therefore increasing likelihood of finishing in the paint and drawing the “and 1.”
