Jumping Into a New Week!
——————————————-
Jump training- While it may not pack on pounds of muscle or help shred fat it has its place in a well designed training regiment. Jumping helps improve the firing pattern between your neurons and muscles which in turn improves force output. This increased force output allows you to move more weight when lifting and improves coordination allowing you to train safer when chasing that dream physique! Shoot me a DM if you have any training related questions and happy Monday!

Reversal Strength
——————————-
The Soviets had a five tier classification of athletes in their sporting world. Class 1 was your amateur athletes. Class 5 or Master of Sport would be your top 1% (think NFL players to high school players I’m the US). They tested all these athletes constantly to find the differences. The major one that stood out was the elite athletes ability to RELAX their muscles much faster than the lesser athletes. This is what we train when we do speed work. It’s not how much weight can I move. It’s how quickly can I get back off that box with as much speed as possible. That’s the game changer. Speed. Speed Kills.

🧘 Stretching Re-Approached:
The actual mechanisms of static stretching very rarely come into question when people have tightness or pain. Everyone just knows that when you stretch you feel better. But that tightness and pain inevitably comes back, right? So what’s going on? When you stretch you are really just helping get your body get conditioned to that pain and not respond to it, which isn’t inherently bad when dosed properly but not all the time. Instead, try treating the underlying issues that are causing the pain in the first place. Hint: it’s very rarely actually a flexibility issue. More often than not it’s a strength problem, especially strength in range. Contd⬇️....

The Sn**ch:
Possibly the most daunting movements that can be performed in a gym from both a technique standpoint and a strength perspective. This is my personal progression over the course of about two years, self taught. What’s missing are the hundreds and hundreds of assistance and technique drills I performed to get me there. While you can learn to sn**ch on your own, you are opening yourself up to the possibility of ingraining poor technique and it will take exponentially longer than being under the eye of a trained coach.

The process behind building, testing, and implementing something that I think is quality enough to be fit for sale. Finalizing format on the first program available to public from Lowcountry Training. This is a product I’m proud to put my name on. Planned release for Wednesday!
