Stevens Training and Performance

🤜 Testimonial Tuesday 🤛

Mike and I worked together to help supplement his CrossFit workouts. With this plan, we were able to attack areas that may have been lacking to turn him into an even better athlete!

Mike, Your effort and discipline in showing up every day is highly motivating. Keep crushing it! We appreciate you!

Elevate Your Standards

🏀 OVERSPEED TRAINING

💡The purpose of this type of training is used to expose the nervous system to faster firing rates in the muscle tendon systems.

🧠 The bands are used to systematically decrease the weight of the athlete during plyometric exercise

✅ This environment allows for

- Faster firing rates
- Reduced ground contact times

🔥 Studies show that with this method improvements in jumping ability are the result of increased velocities at takeoff not maximal force production

💥 Both are needed to jump high to an extent. The athlete who can produce more force in less time will perform better

🤯 Contrast training is a great way to train both components. By doing a heavy compound lift followed by a plyometric of a similar movement pattern, an athlete can greatly improve their performance abilities

🚨 It’s no secret that as we age, things such as bone and muscle loss become more prevalent.

🤔 But does that have to be the case for EVERYONE!?!

🧠 Studies have shown that strength training over a period of time can not only prevent muscle loss, but also

- Increase bone density ✅
- Build more muscle ✅
- Improve strength ✅
- Reduce injury/fall risk ✅

🙌🏻 All of this leads to a HEALTHIER you, no matter what your age is.

🍑 The posterior chain (back/glutes/hamstrings/calves/ankles) is absolutely vital in terms of overall development and increasing performance/health for ALL! By training this system regularly you can reduce injury and boost your game 💥

✅ The large majority of clients I see are quad dominant and many have lost the ability to even hinge properly.

🧠 The GHD (Glute Ham Developer) is a staple piece of equipment in a quality gym, like my new home here ! We can really focus on the hamstring musculature and core as a means to help develop the posterior chain further.

🔥 I love this movement as an auxiliary exercise after the main compound movement of a lower body focused day.

📐 Positive shin angles during acceleration means increased force applied in the angle directed angle

🧠 As an athlete gets stronger, they can apply more force with a more positive angle. This leads to them being faster off of the line in their respective sports because they will be able to produce greater forces in a reduced amount of time. Performance gains in their sport are ⬆️

Owen does a great job here of getting a good angle projection forward out of his initial first acceleration step 💥

Not everyone has to squat the same way, but everyone SHOULD squat!

Great ex*****on here of my client MAX who is finishing up a great first foundational block with some goblet squats!!

🚨 CLIENT PR 🚨

Ahren and I have been working together for around 3 months now. As former Division 1 athletes it’s great to be able to train likeminded individuals! He absolutely BRINGS it every session and his hard work is paying off.

Today he hit a rep max PR of 290x7 equating to a one rep max of 357 lbs; a number he hasn’t hit since his days!

Congratulations buddy 🥳 and Happy Belated Birthday! GREAT WORK

Train fast to be fast 🔥

Far too often, I see athletes and other gym goers use the same weights, same rep schemes, and never see any progress in their lifts 🤔

By training at different velocities and percentages along the force velocity curve a person can adapt and learn how to produce their force and strength faster 💥

Here I am training at around 55% of my best clean. In doing so, I can hone in on both maximal power output and technique 🧠

As a result, my rate of force development will increase. The best athletes are those who can produce the most amount of force in the shortest amount of time 🚨🚨🚨

Need for speed 💨

Love taking what I learn and being able to apply it to training.

A lot to work on here including a lower heel recovery as well as timing with my arms but this will get cleaned up as I work on my acceleration fundamentals 💥

💥 Contrast Training 💥

🧬 This method of training involves pairing a heavy resistance exercise with a high velocity movement of the same movement pattern.

💪🏼 I am pairing Trap Bar DL with Broad Jumps as they both involve a great amount of hip flexion/extension.

✅ Due to post activation potentiation from the heavy resistance exercise we can jump higher, run faster, and produce more power.

✅ The goal in using this method is create lasting changes in the force potential of the muscle signifying an improvement in performance
