Comment by tommy stucky on November 30, 2009 at 12:34pm: Not impressed with the bench technique or the squat depth. Why are the kids bouncing off the bottom on the box squats?

Comment by Adrian Bazemore on November 29, 2009 at 12:45am: I like the use of the bands. I believe more teams can benefit from them. Nice job overall.

Comment by Scott on November 26, 2009 at 12:26pm: Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Comment by Brian Hill on November 26, 2009 at 1:50am: We kept it simple in the summer time. Our iso movements were usually first integrated with the insertion of a new movements. During the summer time we ,for the most part, did not subject them to a new movement pattern to perform with the season being so close.

Comment by Scott on November 25, 2009 at 3:50pm: I should make clear what I mean by bar held in the 'rack', with the hi-intensity, low step-ups. What I mean is it's held in front of the head, as opposed to the back, like in a front squat. This is either with arms crossed over and elbows slightly up (preferred), or elbows pointing directly forward and slightly up (this is a little harder for most). This takes emphasis off of spinal erectors and places more on TrA, QL, multifidus, internal oblique, etc. This lower web of musculature between hips and spine must be like steel for powerful cutting and running and bar on back doesn't hit it as well, IMO.

Comment by Mark Watts on November 25, 2009 at 1:58pm: Good Stuff, man. Keep up the great work.

Comment by Scott on November 25, 2009 at 12:55pm: i should add band-ASSISTED exercises. for example instead of supersetting a higher intensity bench exercise with a ball toss, try using band assisted push-ups. also, band-assisted split-squat jump-ups following a lunge iso or backward lunge. on the lunge the back leg should remain as straight as possible.

hey, loved the fire-hydrants, banded GM's, and staggered GM', these are often neglected!

Comment by Scott on November 25, 2009 at 12:48pm: i like this, i train with a lot of the same exercises. i'd like to see more iso's, fast eccentrics (drop & stop), very low step-ups with heavy weight held in the 'rack' (great for hip-to-spine strength), rebounding (drop/stop/explode).
