@ab showing how it’s done on the battle ropes⤵️#theextra10 • ‍♂️Improves cardio • Strengthens core and upper body • Improves neuromuscular coordination • Strengthens rotator cuff muscles • ⚠️Improves power •

Explosive Landmine Split to Row + Landmine rotational work @shield.performance Save this to do later!Tag a friend who needs to see this! . Here’s a fantastic unilateral plyo drill to teach your athletes that combines explosive upper body movement! . In between sets we have landmine rotational work, exploding off from the hip! . 1️⃣-Begin in split stance position, knee couple inches off ground, holding barbell in opposing hand 2️⃣- Jump into staggered position, rowing landmine back through elbow 3️⃣- Stick back to position with one second pause 4️⃣- Start with slower controlled reps to improve timing, and landing position 5️⃣- Make note of proper foot positioning. Firmly land on full foot, and keep hips, knees, and ankles in line .

@ab crushing some single leg reverse Nordics to stretch and strengthen the quads⤵️#theextra10 • ✅In general we know it’s important to stretch, and we know it’s important to strengthen. What we don’t talk about enough, is why it’s important to stretch and strengthen at the same time • Injuries often occur at the very end range of our motion, where we may lack sufficient strength and flexibility. Either the muscle is not strong enough to cope with the particular force vector, or not flexible enough to achieve the desired range of motion. The catch being just having one is useless without the other. It doesn’t matter how strong you are if you don’t have the mobility for body positions required by your sport, and it doesn’t matter how mobile you are if you don’t have sufficient strength in those same positions • The importance of training them together is to practice the neuromuscular neuromuscular action of contracting a muscle when it’s in a significantly stretched position. Training strength and flexibility individually will not have the same neuromuscular effect as training them together. For example, if you did a leg press, then a quad stretch, it wouldn’t make you any better at engaging the quad from a stretched position. That is because strength must be directly developed in the stretched position, as opposed to purely a shortened one. This would be the equivalent of exclusively performing heavy quarter squats, and expecting to be strong enough, and mobile enough, to perform that same weight in a full squat •

Banded Lateral Step Ups. This will increase the amount of force you can put into the ground, thus improving your jumping ability/acceleration. It will also increase lower-body strength and power, particularly in the glutes and quads and help develop single-leg strength and stability.

There’s been a TON of really bad tennis ball “hand eye/reaction” drills being done on this machine lately. So here’s one you can actually try that makes sense and will actually help you . Start slow, use one ball, progress it as necessary. I’ve done this drill countless times throughout my baseball days and continue to do it now even as a warmup to some of my workouts. Try it out, enjoy it, lmk what you guys think.

⚠️Harder than it looks warning⤵️#theextra10 • This single leg kettlebell drop present an incredible balance challenge. The unilateral load lights the hip complex and opposite side oblique on fire • Potential energy is turned into kinetic energy as the the kettlebell drops, which creates momentum. To counteract this momentum, the body’s stabilizer muscles have to engage sharply. I say sharply because they have to engage quickly, but they also have to disengage quickly. If they don’t disengage effectively you will over compensate, throwing your center of gravity off, consequently losing your balance • Biomechanics; it’s always good to practice balance drills in good athletic positions. Take note how the arm that’s fully extended is on the same side as the leg that’s extended, and the arm that’s down/back is on the same side as the knee that’s up. This drills proper movement mechanics in an isometric manner. In general it’s more effective to drill movement mechanics in a dynamic manner. That being said, there’s a time and place for isometrics when it comes to movement mechanics. Since they lack an eccentric (negative) phase, they tend to take less of a toll on the body. The reason being, the eccentric phase is the phase where a muscle is stretched, which makes micro-tears more likely. Micro-tears are responsible for what is known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) •

Agility is the ability to move quick and easily and in sports there are 2 factors to increasing agility... physical and mental - On the physical side it’s about... - Good technique (Developed by practicing sport) - Good Absorption/production of force (Developed in Training) - Good Balance via trunk and structural integrity of joints (Developed in training) - Mental side it’s about.. - Reaction or response time visually and auditorily (Developed by practice and training) - Anticipation (Developed by studying film) - Awareness or Game Intelligence (Developed by experience and studying sport) - These are the factors that determines ones level of agility in their sport - Identify your weakness. Focus on that weakness diligently with intent and repetition. Get better at your sport. - #overtimeathletes #athleticperformance #athleticperformancetraining #athleticperformancecoach #performance #performancecoach #performancecoaching #agility #agilitytraining #footballtraining

Watermelon may reduce muscle soreness after an intense workout—without the gut leakiness that occurs within hours of taking anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen.
