Just heard that some people think you should lift between 30-40% of your max while inseason....that's some of the craziest stuff I've ever heard. You will never maintain strength and power or build any strength going at 30% of your maximum ability. Lift strong to be strong.

If you are a high school athlete...this summer you NEED to be with your TEAMMATES in the weightroom getting stronger and more explosive. You build team chemistry and trust NOW. Don't go out and spend your money doing "private training" with a "performance guru".

Strength & Conditioning is not a bootcamp class, it is not a workout class. It is structured, and periodized training sessions. Anyone can make people tired, it takes consistent structured training to get people stronger and more explosive for their sport.

Mid Summer Testing: Bench: if spotter touches the bar at any time...NO REP. Squat: thigh has to be parallel to the floor, if not...NO REP. Cleans: catch and stand all the way up with it, if not...NO REP. Be real with yourself and your teammates. #LiftOrDieTrying

Seniors, when you look back at your playing career...your success doesn't depend on the "amount of hardware" you've won. Success is becoming a man, learning life lessons, and leaving a legacy for others to continue to build upon.

I consider a summer S&C training program similar to learning to swim. You start out the summer learning to swim in the shallow end and progressing to the deep end as the summer progresses. If you jump in now to the deep end where we are without learning to swim, you will drown.
