@Wendi_Irlbeck @AdamBreneman81 @NextUpBreneman @usat Give me some towels and some 3lb weights and I’ll build something. Adam…… you know what I’m talking about.

Removing dumbbells under 40 pounds from a college weight room is a shortsighted, reckless and a harmful decision, especially when many incoming athletes particularly high school transfers or freshmen lack foundational strength. Why ignore basic principles in strength and conditioning, progressive overload, injury prevention, and guidelines from the NSCA?? Many College Athletes Arrive with Inadequate Foundational Strength High school athletes often enter college programs without a solid base of strength, proper movement patterns, or neuromuscular control. Research shows that supervised resistance training is safe and effective for youth/adolescents, but many high school programs lack qualified supervision or progressive structure, leaving gaps in basics like core stability, scapular control, hip hinge mechanics, or unilateral strength. NSCA position statements on youth resistance training emphasize starting with light loads to master technique, build foundational strength, and reduce injury risk before progressing to heavier weights. Studies indicate that young athletes benefit from multifaceted programs that include lighter loads for technique-driven work, which can lower sports-related injury rates by improving biomechanics and joint stability. For these athletes, jumping straight to 40+ lb dumbbells risks poor form, compensatory patterns, and overuse injuries (e.g., shoulder impingement from unstable pressing or knee valgus in lunges). Light dumbbells (5–35 lbs) allow safe skill acquisition and volume building without ego-driven overload. Progressive overload involves systematically increasing demands (weight, reps, sets, tempo, etc.) to force adaptation. You can’t effectively progress if the entry point is too high. Beginners or underprepared athletes need lighter loads (often <60% 1RM) to accumulate volume, improve endurance, refine technique, and build work capacity before heavier training. Continued 👇 🧵

Texas Tech took every weight under 40 lbs out of their weight room. Love this!! No shortcuts. @NextUpBreneman x @USAT

@AdamArchuleta @MarkHoover71 Or the prefrontal cortex -Inhibition. The ability to not do stupid stuff. It’s the braking system before action happens. :).

@MarkHoover71 YES.. The pursuit of SPEED in all phases. Physically AND mentally which includes decision making!! The pursuit of speed has been THE key driver in innovation in all areas of human advancement!

Yes, it does, and 99% of weight room work ignores technique and position, focusing only on the numbers lifted. No REAL development is happening. Sure, athletes may lift more, but most of the load goes straight to their joints and reinforces poor movement patterns. There is no effort or focus on training the proper neuromuscular patterns that govern efficient movement and true athletic development. Little to no work is done to teach the body how to absorb force. We just add more exercises, pile on more weight, and condition endlessly. We call it “training”, but it’s not… it’s just “exercise.” I could go on and on…

It’s the people who train who are smart. They understand exactly what it takes. Thanks for the kind words Adam. You are one of one. :)

Every day trying to get a leg up on the competition …..@CoachFortney @coachcodutti @korfist @TFConsortium @pntrack

Yes!!

This one was a lot of fun

@CoachFortney @coachchriskerr @SimpliFaster @korfist @TFConsortium Yes sir

@coachchriskerr @SimpliFaster @korfist @WGF1 @TFConsortium Landmine guy is Jorge Bonet Per Chris Scarborough that Dan talks about from Alabama .

Sitting down to record the next Fast Lane @SimpliFaster episode tonight with @korfist and @WGF1. We are recapping @TFConsortium. Let us know any questions or follow up from TFC presentations!

Congrats

Play offs are different. @TFConsortium @KoKieft @MarkHoover71

Pack the place!!!!
