I see all kinds of stuff (exercises, good and bad technique, great and horrible drills and a few things I’d rather not mention) in the gym, on the field as well as online. Starting today I’ll be sharing what I see and obviously commenting on possibly a better way, or how cool something is and how it might fit into your program.
Day #1 – Today I saw a kid (maybe 14 years old) benching with his older brother and friends. Big bro was actually coaching some of the right things, but the kid kind of looked like a fish flopping on the deck of a boat. The obvious reason for this was the weight was too heavy and he probably wasn’t shown how to groove the proper pattern. I could write another 500 words and explain what that is, but instead will hold off until we get our picture and video library going. Reading is one thing, but watching video with coaching cues works much better.
If you cannot wait and would like specifics right away, go to our contact form and ask now.
So what happened to the kid? I jumped in and gave my two cents and tweaked his form bit. I shared what power linking was and that his current form was one big power leak. Will it stick…no! But I’ll stick with him and make sure he grooves the right patterns.
Have a great day!
JT
