If you play any kind of explosive sport โ€” football, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, volleyball โ€” the #1 predictor of success across every position is lower body power.

If thereโ€™s one thing you should be focused on improving, itโ€™s that. Power translates to speed, change of direction, agility, vertical jump, and hitting harder.

Thereโ€™s a reason every elite strength program teaches Olympic lifts.

Many athletes get stuck doing โ€œmore conditioningโ€ when their real limiter is coordination and mobility. Olympic lifts solve both.

If you want next-level performance, start with next-level training. Book a assessment with ๐—ช๐—ถ๐—น๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜๐—ต to learn the lifts. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

He actually doubled more than his old one rep max, so we decided to send it. Sometimes you have to strike while the iron is hot.

What I am really impressed with is how much his technique has improved this training block. No foot snatches are key ๐Ÿ”‘ if you struggle with jumping forward or hip smashing the bar.

He made that max look easy. Great job Brady. Really excited to see what you can do in competition and at nationals this year.

Sophia currently holds the strongest clean, push press, and deadlift among all girls at Wilmington Strength. She is also top five in acceleration. Her RSI score a fun test that measures how light and explosive an athlete is off the ground ranks third among girls and fifth among all athletes in the gym at any age.

Keep up the amazing work Sophia. You are setting the standard.

This is one of the best speed builders for any athlete. Nordics build eccentric hamstring strength which is critical for staying healthy when you sprint and for producing force at max velocity. That is why elite track athletes rely on them so much. Stronger hamstrings mean better stiffness better top end speed and better acceleration.

Vertical jump isnโ€™t just a test of athleticism โ€” itโ€™s a measure of how much power your body can produce.
And power is the first quality we lose as we age.

โ€ข Power declines faster than strength โ€” even if you keep lifting
โ€ข Jumping trains fast-twitch fibers that help you move, react, and stay balanced
โ€ข Itโ€™s one of the best ways to track lower-body performance over time
โ€ข Maintaining your jump = maintaining your independence and coordination

Improving your vertical jump means youโ€™re keeping your engine tuned โ€” not just your frame strong.

Our speed program bridges the gap between weight-room strength and on-field performance โ€” teaching real sprint mechanics, improving top-end velocity, and building the kind of power that actually transfers to sport.
If youโ€™re lifting hard but not getting faster, this is whatโ€™s missing.
