You wouldn’t wear Crocs on the football field, on a wrestling mat, during a race. Have a tiny bit of discipline and show up with the appropriate foot wear to train in the weight room. Little things matter.

A 30 to 40 min training session with a few reps of maximal effort and a few sets of sub-maximal effort isn’t going to affect your club sports game performance 9 hours later. Your poor nutrition, and sleeping habits will. Put some weight on the bar and get stronger. 🦅💪🏻

We can tear people apart or we can help them out. I saw someone post a picture of a strength program that had some %’s that were way to heavy for the volume. Here is a simple chart that may help you when designing your program. Another helpful tool is Prilepin’s Chart.

I don’t really care about the language your parents/guardians allow you to use in casual conversation, but dropping F bombs in the weight room is an easy way to find yourself looking for a gym membership. Respect others, know your audience.

One of the most exciting games I played in. The Bulldogs rolled into Tuscaloosa for “The Show Down In T-Town.” They had Heisman candidate and record setting QB Eric Zeier at the helm. It was a back and forth battle that Tide won 29-28 on a 4th qt field goal.

A friendly reminder pulling a clean from the floor doesn’t make it a “power clean”. It’s just called a clean. Depending on where you catch the bar will determine if its a “power clean”. You can do “power cleans” from the hang position.

When I see clean progressions broken down like this I’m reminded how much time is dedicated to one exercise. I understand why coaches choose not to use olympic lifts. I choose to do variations of partial movements of the exercise. It saves us time and keeps things a lot simpler.

Often neglected in training the neck can protect our brains from bouncing off the sides of our skull. It is important that you train the neck. Especially if you participate in a collision or combative sports.

Trigger warning… I don’t know if it’s because of my wrestling background, but as a football player at Alabama, mat drills were my favorite part of the offseason. Probably because I enjoyed watching my teammates break from what we did for a warmup during wrestling season.
