strength and conditioning

Breathe, focus, and move fast- take missing the clock off the table as an option.

Arm yourself with a new perspective and start progressing toward a better, stronger physique.

Never make the mental mistake of thinking you’re too advanced for skill work in any realm.

If attempting to complicate training protocols too quickly, an athlete can be placed in a dangerous and potentially harmful situation.

Power and position govern weight- If we lose our strong hinge, back rounds, or legs fail to snap straight in the “drive” portion of the movement, adjust accordingly and continue safely.

If sets require interruption at chosen weight, make as minor an adjustment as needed and complete the next uninterrupted.

Stay awake and pay attention. Become stronger, healthier, and happier by clearing out your nervous system.
