HUGE vertical jump gains for Caldwell University basketball player @danielboateng_ Up 4+ INCHES in 4 weeks from a high of 23.5 to now 27.5 here Additionally, his 6 jump average went from 22.03 to a 26.3 Let’s what we did in just 4 weeks 🧵

@JNRadio_Glenn @nyjets Because if you’re an ACTUAL fan, you root for your team. I know that’s a weird concept for most.

@colliemogs First 3 God of war games

Things you THINK are helping you get better, but AREN’T: - Training until you're dead or extremely sore - Being in the gym 3+ hrs, 6 days/ wk - Going to the gym at 4-5 am - Doing "2 a day," workouts Training isn't a game that gives extra points for doing random stuff just cause

ATHLETES: I PROMISE, lifting heavy (1-5 reps) will NOT make you “sore,” before a game! A low rep heavy set focuses more on motor unit recruitment to produce high force Problem? Most athletes think high reps = less sore…WRONG, a high rep, longer TUT = MORE delayed soreness

Hoopers, still dealing with a SLOW first step? Here’s one of my FAVORITE pairings to build an INSANE first step! 1. Loaded sled sprints 2. Medicine ball loaded sprints 3. Mountain climber starts 2 sets each leg 10-yards Max speed w/full rest (1 minute rest) Go get FASTER!

@StevieVol Love it! Keep it up! Keep it short and sweet!

5 Non-negotiables for in-season training that’ll make training SIMPLE 1) Do what you don’t in sport 2) Do less of things you do get in sport 3) Do speed before practice if permitted 4) Hit heavy lifts post practice/games to consolidate stress 5) Don’t get overly plane specific

It’s almost 2025 & we’re still using “what pro athletes do” to justify TERRIBLE training Let’s actually use some reasoning in the new year & question EVERYTHING vs doing things because: “I did that when I played.” “Pro athlete _ does it.” “We’ve done it for years.”

Ex. We use 85-95% in the off-season: 85% x5 reps 90% x3 reps 95% x2 reps In-season, subtract 10-15%: 75% x5 reps 80% x3 reps 85% x2 reps

Sleep is literally your body’s built in software updating system that regulates EVERYTHING in your system! Athletes, if you aren’t taking advantage of this, you NEED to. 7-9 hours of sleep is a MUST!

Long duration isometrics are an absolute CHEAT code for knee, ankle/calf health in-season for hoopers 🏀 Daily medicine 💊: 3-4 sets 45 second isometric holds -Floating heel isometrics -Loaded extreme lunge isometric holds -SL hamstring foam roller isometrics

In-season training tips for hoopers 🏀 1. Get what you don’t in sport (top speed exposure/loaded accels/max outputs) 2. Get in, get out (30-45 minutes TOPS) 3. Speed work before practices 4. Strength work after tough practices/games 5. Prioritize recovery (when needed)

@DanBesbris Would you drop bilal?

10 of my favorite exercises for building single leg bounce for basketball players ⛹️ 1. Broad jump 2. SL approach jumps 3. SS overcoming iso 4. Dynamic step up 5. Maximal SL depth landings 6. DE banded pin SS 7. SL box jump 8. Heavy RLE SS 9. DE SS 10. Rapid drop catch RLE SS

In-season speed & power workout for basketball players 🧨💥 🥅 Goals: -Get in, get out (keep lift 45 minutes) -Get what you don’t from sports (top speed, loaded accelerations, max outputs) -Keep it sagittal/linear-keep multidirectional work to sport Sets, reps in video 🎥

If you aren’t: -Writing down your goals -Creating a reliable & repeatable way to test progress over time -Having a plan each time you go into the gym/court/field to get you to those goals It’s safe to say you’re “working out,” NOT training

I get it, not everyone has a sled But if you do, it’s THE best speed development tool you can use Here are 5 sled variations that can help you build a BLAZING first step -Traditional sled sprints -Sled “walkout” sprints -Heavy sled push -Heavy sled drag -Sled drivers

Are you recovering JUST as hard as you are training? Number ONE recovery tool for hoopers…SLEEP! Here’s how I did it: -Blackout curtains (keep room dark) -Warm shower 30 mins before bed -Avoid screen time (blue light glasses) -Make the room cold -Consistent sleep schedule
