Adduction Machine Benefits — Why you should NOT be skipping this exercise: 1. Strong Adductors = Reduced risk of groin injury 2. Improve balance/single-leg stability 3. Will improve ability to perform ADLs (climbing stairs, getting in and out of the car, standing up from seated position, etc) 4. Carryover... to other lifts (Squat patterns + Hinge patterns) 5. Improves lower body muscular development (No thigh gap) 6. Almost impossible to replicate longterm with other exercises (Copenhagen Planks will be outgrown + place high reliance on ancillary musculature, Cable Adductions do not afford the same stability benefit, etc) 7. Train the Adductors through their full contractile range If your machine is too light: GYM PIN!!!show more

Spot on. The adductor magnus is actually the 2nd largest muscle in the lower body (after glute max) and contributes significantly to hip extension. Research shows: • Adductors contribute 20-30% of total hip extension torque • Weak adductors increase risk of sports hernia by 40% • They're crucial for maintaining femoral head centration in the acetabulum **Practical programming:** • Frequency: 2-3x weekly (they recover quickly) • Rep ranges: Both strength (6-8) and endurance (15-20) matter • Timing: Post-squat/deadlift when hips are warm **Common mistake:** Using momentum. The movement should be controlled, focusing on the squeeze. **Progress indicator:** When you can adduct 50% of your squat weight for 8+ reps with full range, you've built serious hip integrity.

You probably have too much muscle relative to your structure to have a legit thigh gap but it’s hard to fully tell cause black disguises things a bit You look great! How long have you been training?

The stabilizing role of the adductors against abduction torque is often overlooked when assessing knee and groin health. Essential tissue.

PRIORITIZE SINGLE LEG STRENGTH❗️ Squat & Deadlift do NOT always have to be your main lower body lifts. There are plenty of ways to get strong. Here are some MAJOR benefits of prioritizing single leg lifts: 1️⃣ Exposes strength & balance inefficiencies & inequalities. Strong on 2 legs doesn’t mean strong on 1 leg.. Strong on each leg does mean strong on 2 legs. I’ve seen enough strong squats & deadlifts get buried with single leg exercises. Typically isn’t true the other way around. 2️⃣ Less back pain. Regardless of their technique, some athletes experience back pain from squatting & deadlifting. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SQUAT OR DEADLIFT TO GET STRONG… Single leg exercises can alleviate that pain. Less load, similar intensities, similar benefits. 3️⃣ “Sports are played on 1 leg.” I’ve heard this plenty of times and there is definitely a ton of truth to it. Movements are very single leg dependent. Sprinting, stopping, changing direction, jumping, landing. Single leg training can be the key to higher performance and less risk for injury. 4️⃣ Less learning curve. Beginners can immediately reap the rewards of single leg training because of how easy it is to implement. Something as simple as sitting on a bench and standing up using 1 leg is challenging for someone who has never done it. No bar on the back, no picking up weight, no teaching hip hinge.. Simple single leg training will buy athletes time to train while simultaneously improving squat and deadlift technique.

If you want to actually train your Chest as efficiently/effectively as possible instead of WASTING YOUR TIME…. I’d recommend doing something like this each week: Upper A - Incline (Clavicular Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Pec Fly Machine x 2-3 Sets Upper B (Performed 3-4 days after Upper A) - Flat/Seated (Sternal Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Seated Low to High Cable Flys x 2-3 Sets This will result in you doing somewhere between 8-12 sets of direct Chest work per week Low likelihood you need any more volume than that to improve your Chest mightily if following the notes below: 1) The ideal rep range to be using when performing the exercises mentioned is the 5ish to 10ish rep range — Choose a weight you can do for 5, 6, 7 reps @ 0-2 RIR…once you can do that weight for 8, 9, 10ish reps, increase the load by 5ish pounds 2) You should perform all reps of all the listed exercises with a controlled (but not overly slow) eccentric and an explosive (but still controlled) concentric 3) You should perform these exercises very early in your workout to ensure they are as efficient/effective as possible — If you perform them later on, you will not get as robust a growth stimulus from the sets because of the outstanding fatigue that will be present from the earlier sets/exercises in your workout Additional notes: - You may sub any of these exercises for comparable exercises due to preferences and/or equipment availability — Ex: Flat/Seated Machine Press subbed for Flat Smith Machine Bench Press or Flat Barbell Bench Press - I probably forgot something that I should’ve mentioned…if I think of it I’ll drop it in the post below

Strong legs are the foundations of a stable posture, yet many let theirs weaken over time. You lose your ability to move and stand upright. Much of my work with chronic pain clients involves strengthening the legs. This video shows 8 essential lower body motions: 1- Hip Extensions Standing upright involves straightening your torso to align it with your lower body, an extension of your hips executed by your Glutes and Hamstrings. The problem is you sit on these muscles all day, weakening them over the years to the point where they fail to do their job. Your lower back picks up the slack against its will and becomes overworked. I'll start chronic pain clients with Hip Bridges on the floor to ensure everything is balanced, then progress to Hip Thrusts and eventually Standing exercises like the Romanian Deadlift. As for the Deadlift off the floor, those are great if you can access a barbell or kettlebell. - Hip Bridge (0:05) - Hip Thrust (0:11) - Romanian Deadlift (0:17) - Deadlift (0:23) 2- Split Squats Split Squats are excellent for strengthening the knees. In the case of a chronic pain client, I use them to stretch the quad and Hip Flexors of the back leg, which are often extremely stiff due to sitting. This stiffness makes the body collapse forward and is often the limiting factor when people try this exercise for the first time. I'll start someone with the Front Foot elevated because it's easier on the front leg and gives a great stretch, then progress to flat and rear foot elevated. - Front foot elevated (0:30) - Flat (0:36) - Rear-foot elevated (0:42.2) 3- Lunges Lunges are the dynamic version of the Split Squat. Besides being excellent for strengthening your leg muscles, the one thing I love about this exercise is that it teaches you how to brace yourself as your foot lands. Many people lack the core strength to absorb an impact. Lunges develop that shock absorption capacity, especially when done with weights. Ensure you have mastered the Split Squats before doing them, and use different directions to target your muscles differently. - Forward (0:48) - Back (0:54.7) - Side (1:07) 4- Squats The king of all exercises is crucial for your ascension. The vertical motion improves your ability to overcome the world's weight crashing down upon you. It's also an amazing Glute and Quad stretch in the bottom position. I'll start chronic pain clients with the bodyweight variation before progressing them to weighted and eventually one-legged, also known as Pistol Squats. Doing one leg at a time is one of the best ways to balance your body's left and right sides from head to toe. - Body weight (1:12.5) - Loaded (1:19) - Pistol (1:25.5) 5- Step-ups Step-ups are amongst my favorite one-sided exercises to strengthen the Glutes and Quads. They are excellent for improving the stability of your hips and abdominal muscles. Use the Front and Lateral variations to maximize your results. - Front (1:31.5) - Lateral (1:38) 6 - Leg Curls Leg Curls strengthen the lower attachment of your Hamstrings. They are an integral part of my knee and lower back recovery programs because many people are weak due to sitting. I'll have chronic pain clients use a towel to create muscle resistance, though you can do them standing to get some much-needed blood flow. The best way to benefit from this exercise is by using an exercise ball or a machine at the gym. - Standing (1:43) - Towel (1:49) - Exercise ball (1:55.4) - Machine (2:02.1) 7- Adductions The inner thigh muscles become problematic when people sit with their legs crossed. They either get stiff or weak depending on whether you cross one leg over the other or with your foot on the opposite knee. I love Copenhagen Planks to restore the balance in your adductors. - Knee-bent (2:08.8) - Straight-leg (2:14) 8- Calf Raises The ankles are the cornerstone of your posture because they affect the alignment of every other joint above. Strong Calves are essential to their stability, yet many omit them from their workouts. Standing Calf Raises also strengthen the knees from behind. Doing the Donkey variation, you'll feel an intense stretch from the knee to the ankle. Seated Calf Raises work a different lower leg muscle essential to pump blood back up from your feet. - Standing (2:20.5) - Donkey (2:26.6) - Seated (2:33.3) Include these 8 types of motions in your routine as an insurance policy against serious mobility problems down the line. Keeping your legs strong ensures a stable posture and quality movements, two crucial factors for a high quality of life.

This is what real basketball training looks like. 1) Lifting through full ROM 2) Jumping to Develop the SSC 3) Oly Lifts to Develop Force & Power We do this type of workout in our general prep period when we get our players back after a prolonged period of time off. The circuit is as followed: 1) Snatch From the Hip 2) Clean From The Hip 3) Squat 4) Plyo 5) Press 6) Pull 7) RDL We perform each movement for 6 repetitions with moderate load for up to 2-4 sets depending on their work capacity. The goal is to develop a metabolic base & work on efficient movement patterns before we go into our heavier strength blocks. We will perform this for 3-4 weeks depending on our assessments. Real basketball training isn’t full of gimmicks. It involves sprinting, jumping & foundation living patterns to build higher level athletes.

Let’s talk side to side imbalances cause I know A LOT OF PEOPLE are (A) dealing with these and (B) confused about how to remedy them…. (This post will be LOWER BODY focused) For starters, if you’ve got a large side to side discrepancy…these are going to be the exercises you’ll want to use to help even that out: (In no particular order) - Smith Split Squats - Single Leg Press - Single Leg Extension - Single Leg Seated Ham Curls - Single Leg Prone Ham Curls - Single Leg 45° Extensions - B Stance Smith/Machine Glute Bridges - Single Leg Calf Press Here is the SIMPLE PROTOCOL you’ll using when performing these exercises to help even out your side to side imbalance: When performing a unilateral exercise… - Start with the weaker side - Take set to target RIR - Match reps on stronger side (even if you have more left to give) NO REST NEEDED between sides if a discrepancy is present FWIW…if you were performing a unilateral exercise and NO discrepancy were present, the play would be to take ample rest (2-3+ minutes) between sides — you are almost treating it as two separate sets in this instance ONE FINAL VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Side to side imbalance are NOT abnormal They are NOT even PROBLEMATIC unless the gap is large enough If you have (let’s say) a 5% discrepancy from right to left (or vice versa), there really isn’t a need to bias heavily toward unilateral exercises If, however, that gap is closer to (let’s say) 10, 15, 20+%…you’d be wise to bias toward the unilateral exercises and protocol listed above until the gap shrinks to a more reasonable size (perhaps <10%)

Saturday mornings are for hip mobility routines. Free them of the tension gathered during the week. You'll be more relaxed for your weekend and will protect your joints over the long run. This routine relieves the stress gathered in your hips: Do one after the other and rest for two minutes. 1 - Cossack Squats [ 3 x 10/leg] You might need to hold onto something if you have no hip mobility. Go as far down as your body allows and feel the stretch. Watch how your range of motion improves over time by doing these exercises a few times a week. 2 - Deep Bodyweight Split Squat [ 3 x 10/leg] Keep your torso upright and drive your knee all the way forward. You will feel a stretch along the front of your hip and thigh on the back leg. Use support if you struggle with balance too much. 3 - Deep Squat Twist [ 3 x 10/side] Can you rotate so that your fingers point toward the ceiling? I've seen so many people with chronic pain get stuck way before. If you lack the mobility to twist, hold the deep squat position for thirty seconds to one minute. Grab onto something at the bottom if you can't stay in the position. 4- Seated Wide-Leg Adductor Stretch [ 3 x 30-60s] Sitting with wide legs will be enough for some people to elicit an intense stretch. // Many of the new chronic pain clients I meet should have started a routine like this one decades ago.

Had TONS of coaches reach out via DM, text, and WhatsApp about the video from yesterday saying 1RM on split squat makes sense. Some even sent me videos. Here is one of them from John Waters John Waters Look at the beauty in this movement. In the interest of educating coaches on movements: 1.) yes there is a "bounce" here but it is no more bounce than you see when someone lifts a light weight on bench press. 2.) moving the back leg forward when standing up enforces the front leg does the work (not the back leg like those bad videos online) 3.) return on investment here = increased unilateral force production which is what happens in sports 4.) do bilateral, split, and unilateral training with your athletes to get the benefit of lifting various loads and having various levels of stability Do you have a great video of split squat or reverse lunge? If so - send it so we can share and highlight!

Great stretch for people who sit at desks. It’s called a Cossack Squat. This works your adductor muscles, which are one of the largest muscles in your legs, but due to long periods of sitting, they can become tight and inflexible. The Cossack Squat restores and improves your lower body's range of motion while developing mobility in your hips, knees, hamstrings, and ankles. It also helps you build resilient joints and soft tissues, squat deeper, and stay protected while running and jumping. Here's how to do them: 1. Start in a wide stance using support if needed. 2. Shift your weight to the right leg & sit back as far as you can. 3. Keep the left leg extended as you rotate your toes up. 4. Keep your right heel on the floor and torso upright. 5. Pause, then push back to the wide-legged starting position. 6. Do the same on the next side. Do this for 6-12 reps each side. Your hips and groin will thank you 🙏🏼

The Cossack Squat restores and improves your lower body's range of motion while developing mobility in your hips, knees, hamstrings, and ankles. It also helps you build resilient joints and soft tissues, squat deeper, and stay protected while running and jumping. Here's how to do them: 1. Start in a wide stance using support if needed. 2. Shift your weight to the right leg & sit back as far as you can. 3. Keep the left leg extended as you rotate your toes up. 4. Keep your right heel on the floor and torso upright. 5. Pause, then push back to the wide-legged starting position. 6. Do the same on the next side. Do this for 6-12 reps each side. Your hips and groin will thank you 🙏🏼

6 Non-Negotiable Weight Room Lifts for Pitchers 💪🔥⁠ ⁠ 1. Reverse Lunge⁠ 2. Sled Push/Drag⁠ 3. Single-Leg DB RDL⁠ 4. Nordic ISO⁠ 5. Reverse Crunch⁠ 6. Trunk Rotation⁠ ⁠ More on each below ⬇️⁠ ⁠ 1. Reverse Lunge⁠ ⁠ The safety bar reverse lunge builds strength in the split squat position you land in when you throw. Teaching your body to be strong there makes everything else easier.⁠ ⁠ Target 1.5-1.8x bodyweight for the best carryover to the mound.⁠ ⁠ 2. Sled Push/Drag⁠ ⁠ Three variations in one: push, side drag, and reverse drag. Minimal spinal compression while still training the force output qualities pitchers need across all three planes of movement.⁠ ⁠ 3. Single Leg DB RDL⁠ ⁠ Targets the posterior chain with an emphasis on the lead leg block. High-velo guys stop momentum fast, then drive through length. This movement builds the hamstring and glute strength to do exactly that.⁠ ⁠ 4. Nordic ISO⁠ ⁠ One of the harder exercises on this list. This exercise trains the posterior chain directly, teaching the hamstrings how to isometrically contract before landing.⁠ ⁠ 5. Reverse Crunch⁠ ⁠ The abs resist spinal extension as you move down the mound. This exercise teaches your trunk to delay rotation until the last second.⁠ ⁠ 6. Trunk Rotation⁠ ⁠ Isolates the trunk and trains force output from a powerful landing position. Keep arms fully extended so the trunk does the work. Going too light kills the feedback.

Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about warm up sets: Most people are doing warm up sets ALL wrong and they’re costing themselves from an efficiency/effectiveness standpoint as a result Warm ups are designed to A) guard against injury B) prepare you for your working sets Warm up sets should NEVER be taken in close proximity to failure…most should see you leaving 6, 7, 8+ reps in reserve (the lone exception to this = sets performed for 1-2 reps @ ~90+ of your intended working weight) This is in STARK CONTRAST to working sets which should all end around 0-2 RIR You probably need about ~2 warm up sets before your first exercise or two depending on the specifics of your programming Here is an example of a typical warm up protocol: - a 5-10 minute brisk walk on the treadmill (optional) - 50% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~12 reps (mandatory) - 75% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~6 reps (mandatory) - 90% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~2 reps (optional) After you complete the working sets for your first exercise, you may want to repeat the last 3 steps prior to performing your next exercise IF it is an antagonist exercise (Ex: Lat Pull-Down after Sternal Pecs Machine Press OR Seated Leg Curls after Hack Squats) After that, you probably don’t need any additional warm up sets unless you are just using them as “primers” (sets to make sure your movement pattern / the machine settings / etc. are on point) - If doing a PUSH workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing a PULL workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing an UPPER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing an LOWER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing a FULL BODY workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise, 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise, and may even 1-2 warm up sets before my third and fourth exercises as well (assuming they’re all multi joint movements — antagonist push/pull movements for both upper & lower) (As you can see, the major downside of FULL BODY workouts is often the excess warm up time needed — this is why they work best for beginners much of the time) General rule of thumb: If your first set of an exercise is NOT your best set of that exercise in terms of performance (assuming we equate RIR), you are NOT warming up properly You should see a fall off in performance as sets transpire on a given exercise…this is a feature, not a bug of productive/effective resistance exercise WHEN WARMED UP PROPERLY

5 Exercises to Lower Your 60-Yard Dash ⏰ 1. Hill Sprints Hill sprints will help you run in the correct form of acceleration and improve force application with each foot strike. 2. Flying Sprints Great drill for developing max-velocity with athletes. This drill teaches athlete to go faster and maintain maximal speed for a longer duration. 3. Heavy Sled Drags Heavy sled drags allow you to learn and practice acceleration mechanics at slower speeds. To perform this exercise properly you need to posses a good forward body lean, and maintain a positive shin angle. 4. Dynamic Skips Skips are one of the BEST ways to improve knee drive, dynamic ankle stability, arm drive, posture, ground contact time, and rhythm - many factors that contribute to fast and explosive athletes. 5. Max-Effort Sprints with Complete Recovery To run fast you need to do just that, run fast. Sprint intensity should be 95%+ on each sprint if you’re trying to get faster. Additionally, you need to be recovering fully following each sprint! Rest 60 sec. every 10 yards covered.
