When the bar flips the bottom of the T-shirt, that’s a pretty decent reduction in horizontal displacement of the bar IMO. Happy holidays and merry lifting to all. May you all be blessed with high quality PR’s. Cheers.

@JoeAratari Great message. Training any novice will have shaky reps along the way. It’s an inevitable part of motor learning even as one climbs toward movement mastery. I admire coaches who share the rough patches of the process in addition to the pretty results.

Training 8th graders is not going to always look perfect. There will be some iffy reps at times. (Honestly even with season vets there are) I think a lot of Young coaches think everything needs to look perfect in the weight room and if their athletes form is not perfect, then they’re a bad coach. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Workin’ in the summer sun! ☀️ #GoBruins

13 weeks ago I was told to go make peace with my family, make sure my Will was in order & contact Hospice. Then I could only high bar squat the bar for 3. 8 weeks later I could do 95 lbs for multiple sets of 3. Today I hit 205 for 3 on quarter squats. #Unbreakable

@Toohey_sp @Coach_Alejo My favorite @Coach_Alejo quote.

“There is nothing new in S&C, except for you!” If you think it’s new, it’s because you just haven’t learned or experienced it yet. But it already existed.” - Al Vermeil “Tell me what it is and I will tell you what we use to call it.” - @Coach_Alejo (1880👇🏻)

Happy birthday, Coach Ash! 🥳🎂🎉 The energy you bring is unmatched - your dedication to keep this squad going is awesome. Thanks for making us better, faster and stronger every day!

@GhizalHasan Yeah, Ghizal!!!!

Sunday at Pauley, starts off with @ashfromguam sighting!

@timkettenring LFG

In my opinion there are two kinds of coaches: those who shit on Olympic lifting and those who actually know what Olympic lifts do.

@CoachVanHouten @UCLAWBB Hoot nation!

@ashfromguam @UCLAWBB GOAT

Completed week 2 at the new spot. Grateful, honored, and fired up. @UCLAWBB

@CoachFarzad @UCLAWBB Same to you, Coach!

@AlanZinsmeister @UCLAWBB Thanks, Alan. We’ll come by a few home games.

@ashfromguam @UCLAWBB Congratulations Coach the Bruins are fortunate to have you. I'm going to miss seeing your boys on game night. 👊🏾👊🏾

@GhizalHasan Thanks, Ghizal!

@ashfromguam Congratulations on the move!

@MarkHoover71 @CoachJosse I saw you and I said “I think I know that guy from somewhere.” Great conference.

“How do you play the game of football faster? The correct movement is the one that solves the problem at hand”…. Can Josse Auburn 🏈 @CoachJosse

@Coachgriffin88 It’s a staple in ours.

Depth broad jumps. A simple and effective way to overload/progress broad jumps. Do any other S&C coaches program these for their athletes?

@mboyle1959 Tag them.

@Coach_Alejo Everybody has discipline when the tides are calm.

Easy, to keep "pushin" when things are going well. Showing up for the "fight" is half the battle. "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometime courage is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.' " Mary Anne Radmacher.
