🧨 French Contrast Training: Power Gains for Sports Performance

This system combines strength + speed in one explosive session:

1️⃣ Heavy compound lift (e.g. back squat)
2️⃣ Plyometric move (e.g. box jump)
3️⃣ Light, speed-focused strength (e.g. weighted jump)
4️⃣ Assisted plyo (e.g. band-assisted jump)

Why it works: We’re using the post-activation potentiation effect — turning max strength into real-world power, FAST. 🚀

✅ Boost vertical jump
✅ Get faster off the line
✅ Build force AND speed safely
✅ Great for return-to-play progression

⚠️ Not for beginners. Must have a solid strength base + technique first.

DM me if your team is ready for that next level 💪

🔥 UNLOCK SPEED WITH THE LANDMINE JAMMER PRESS 🔥

Looking to get FASTER off the line? 🏃‍♂️💨 The landmine jammer press isn’t just an upper-body lift — it’s a power tool for boosting linear acceleration and explosive first-step quickness.

Here’s why it belongs in your performance program👇

✅ Builds horizontal force — critical for early acceleration
✅ Mimics the forward lean and arm drive of sprinting
✅ Trains full-body power transfer through the kinetic chain
✅ Reinforces core control and anti-rotation under load

🔁 Top Variations to Try:

Banded Jammer Press - forces speed with extra resistance at lockout

Jammer Press - build strength with highest loads

Plyo Jammer Press - build explosive speed by jumping out of the bottom and driving triple extension to move weight

💡 Pro Tip: Use moderate loads (40–60% 1RM) and move with INTENT. Pair with sled sprints, broad jumps, or resisted starts for serious results.

Speed isn’t just about legs — it’s about how you generate and transfer force. Master that, and you become a problem on the field. 🧠⚡️

💪 Shoulder Stability 101 💪
Your shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body — and that means it needs strong stabilizers to keep it healthy and powerful.

🏋️‍♂️ Whether you’re throwing, lifting, or just reaching overhead, stability comes from the rotator cuff, scapular muscles, and smart movement patterns.

🔑 Tip of the day: Train control before load. Master movements like plank shoulder taps, serratus punches, and external rotations before going heavy.

Earthquake and Tsunami Bars are a great way to challenge the rotator cuff and shoulder stabilizers with patterns similar to compound lifts seen in lifting and performance training.

🧠 Strong doesn’t always mean stable. Stability is what keeps you in the game — and out of pain.

Lateral Ankle Stability & Power

Rebuilding after an ankle injury isn’t just about reducing pain — it’s about restoring true FUNCTION ⚡

Whether you’re sprinting, cutting, or jumping, lateral ankle stability is key to preventing re-injury and regaining explosive movement.

Simple banded exercises won’t get you back on the field.

Push beyond the status quo.

🧠 Remember: 70% of ankle sprains are lateral. Let’s stop the cycle and build bulletproof ankles 💪

🦶 FOOT STRENGTH MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK 🦶- Ft our recent NCAA champ

your feet are your foundation. If they’re weak, everything above is at risk.

Decreased foot strength can lead to:

🚫 Slower sprint times
🚫 Poor agility & balance
🚫 Recurring injuries (ankle sprains, shin splints, plantar fasciitis)

🏋️‍♂️ Just like you train your core, you need to train your feet.

Here are 3 simple ways to start foot strengthening today:
🔹 Short Foot Plank w/ Pallov Press
🔹 Short Foot Single Leg Stance
🔹 Banded Posterior Tib Rotations

Start small, stay consistent, and you’ll notice the difference—on the field, court, or track.

📉 Don’t let weak feet hold you back.
📈 Strong feet = better control, more power, fewer injuries.
