Corrective exercises, mobility work, accessory work and fillers all have their place in the weight room. But for 99% of HS/college athletes, you cannot hip airplane, 90-90 rotation and band face pull, your way to bigger lifts and ultimately into a stronger/faster/more powerful athlete without prioritizing a few compound lifts.



@ZacGoodman_ @coachseay_cscs Thoughts on the under sized athlete? They would need more volume.


Feels like everyday I’m seeing videos of “40 inch” verticals on these jump devices but everyone is landing with their butt almost below their heels. We all understand how these work, correct?












I have a student in my Algebra II class who is failing with a 12. The student is frequently absent and does not turn in work when they are present. I asked the student why they don’t attempt any of the assignments. The student said, “Miss, I know how this works. They will put me in credit recovery. I will finish the whole course in a couple of weeks and can guess my way through everything because it’s all multiple choice with unlimited attempts. The teacher in there is chill. He’s on his phone, so he doesn’t care if we are on our phones.” This student will graduate from high school with a transcript showing passing grades in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Does the student understand any of the material? Absolutely not. Course/grade recovery programs should not be an option.
