I took the exact system Colby did and packaged it into one complete blueprint — and I’m calling it the BASEBALL SHRED SYSTEM. This is a 12-week performance-based fat loss program designed to help you strip body fat while building the exact qualities that translate to success on the diamond: • Explosive power • Sprint speed • Lean, athletic muscle • On-field durability This isn’t a bodybuilding cut. It’s a performance shred. You won’t just look better — you’ll move better, run faster, and hit harder. Comment SHRED below and I’ll send you the program for 50% off. 💪⚾

That’s not normal off-season progress. That’s elite adaptation. That’s how you turn physical development into bat speed, range at shortstop, and balls leaving the yard. That’s what happens when force production, contraction velocity, and body composition are all trending in the right direction at the same time. That’s the cheat code.

Here’s What That Actually Means He didn’t just get stronger. He improved relative force production (force per kg of bodyweight). He improved reactive strength and contraction velocity. He increased his ability to produce force into the ground and express it quickly. And he did it while being 9 pounds lighter. That combination shifts the entire force-velocity profile upward. More force. Higher velocity. Lower bodyweight. That’s a power-to-weight transformation.

Off-Season: Day 1 When White Sox INF Colby Shelton walked into the facility, the goals were clear. He came in heavier than he wanted to be. The objective wasn’t just to “lose weight.” It was to: • Reduce excess body fat • Maintain (or build) lean muscle mass • Improve relative strength • Move lighter and more elastic • Increase ground force production • Hit more Homers He wanted to look — and perform — like a true big-league middle infielder. So we built the plan around force production, contraction velocity, and body composition optimization.

In-season training is performance insurance. It keeps you closer to your ceiling for the entire season. Not just opening day. The goal isn’t to survive the season. The goal is to perform at your highest level all year. In-season training is how you get there.

If you stop lifting, your body adapts to being weaker. The nervous system is always adapting to the demands placed on it. If the demand is low force — you become efficient at producing low force. If the demand is high force — you maintain elite output. Your body reflects your inputs.

The reason baseball players lose strength, speed, and power during the season isn’t because the season is long. It’s because they stop training. The body doesn’t maintain qualities it isn’t forced to express. Strength, speed, and power are neural and mechanical adaptations — and without continued stimulus, those adaptations decay faster than most realize. In-season training isn’t optional. It’s the only thing preserving the physical qualities that separate you from everyone else.

I do this every year—but here are 10 of the most influential people I followed this year online. You should too. 2025 was a massive year of personal and business growth for me. I spent a lot of time studying absolute DOGS in the business and performance space. People who’ve actually built something real.

No wasted reps. No shortcuts. Just stacking days and trusting the work. #AthleteDevelopment #BuiltNotBought @YAthletesF @gatorjack72 @CoachA35 @SummersMethod

Harvard’s acceptance rate is under 4%. The only school tougher? The School of Greatness. They reject everyone the first time. But enrollment opens every morning— and the only way in is to never stop applying.

A little Christmas Day work with my new toy and video delay app. Grateful that my little brother took time out of his day to feed the machine! 29 more days until our first scrimmage @KellyCatholicBB @JasonTyner12 @Mowalker09 @gladiatorbsbl @SummersMethod #VeloCode #stackingdays

Before you swing hard, try this Simple but 🔥 progression for hitters demonstrated by Georgia Southern Athlete Valerie Combs this week during break. Pop about 3-5 of each (or stick at one if needed until you feel it). It’s a great primer for full swing sessions. • No-Legs Power V — heels down. Own direction first. • No-Stride Power V — legs come in as low-end power. Direction still wins. • No-Stride Pause Finishers — swing through, pause, then fake the finish. • Shut-Down Finishers — intent is violent to contact, then shut it down and let it finish naturally. • Stride to Power V — start setting up your game. Think pre-swing moves. • Stride to Pause Finish — blend timing + control. • Full Swings — let ’em rip. Different fields on command. If this helps one hitter, it did its job. 🎄 Merry Christmas

I’m up at 4am because this isn’t a job—it’s a responsibility. Every athlete in this building is betting their future on us. Their career feeds their family. Their performance pays their bills.
