S&C coaches when you have paired a squat variation with a jump…which variation have you seen the greatest effect on the following CMJ? Or no real difference?

Pad level is dependent on the length of each players limbs.. how they hinge/move..each has a diff pad level..a chute being set at 1 height doesn’t even drop center of gravity/pad level for most. Most just dip, they don’t keep power in the chute.. movement isn’t 1 size fits all
ALFCA@ALFCA_
Chutes are always good for teaching pad level in football.

My favorite part about spotting the clean is when you go from having one person in danger to two people in danger
Double the danger, double the gains

It's 2026. Why am I still seeing videos of HS football coaches spotting the clean? Either teach and train it correctly or don't do it. Pretty simple. Stop helping a kid clean 225 just so you can say you have a certain # of players that can. He can either catch it or he can't.

@coachjoeboyd @NajiLyon @clh_strength I have seen the effects of this practice in a random strong man competition in college…ended up with the “spotter” having a snapped leg…so not sure it’s safer.
English
@NajiLyon @clh_strength Part of teaching the clean is teaching how to bail safely. You don't need to stand behind a kid to make sure they don't hit their head. They need to be taught how to properly bail.

@NajiLyon @clh_strength @CoachChamboOK @coachjoeboyd I’m confused who you are talking to. Are you talking to Cody?

@clh_strength @CoachChamboOK @coachjoeboyd We teach safety in the weight room. With all those letters behind your name, I’d figure you would, too.

@NorcrossHoops @mgill52 Not in 5 years since I’ve been doing it. But me and the coach are also conspiring to get him a new floor. This is the way.
English
No sir. I don't care how big the strength coach is... we fighting.
Tyler Franklin@Tyry202
Took a break from the traditional bench press primer in the weight room. Sled upper push to half court. Reverse bear crawl to baseline. 5 MB chest pass. Pick up towel & sprint back to half court. Sled sprint to return home for next person. 2 rounds. Until next time, doggies.

If a school wants to add performance training into the school day, here’s how to do it right.
✅ S&C coach
✅ Schedule whole teams in one period
✅ Head coaches present for their team’s lift
✅ Non-athletes get their own period. Only allowed in athletic periods with permission

Guess I’m gonna have to buy me a jersey this year @CoreyLevin62

Fowler: Falcons are signing former Titans center Corey Levin to a one-year deal. Levin reunites with new Falcons OL coach Bill Callahan, who was with him in TEN last season.

Social media: The undue influence gift that keeps on giving. 🎁

@JeremyFrisch That would require the Department of Education to not be a shell of itself…

RFK/MAHA: dunkin donuts is the enemy...
Also RFK/MAHA: still no mandatory daily physical education requirement in public schools...

The weight room is the most influential room in a school.
It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom.
A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

@Coach_Spivey23 I went back and checked the rule after I posted this
English
@Coach_Spivey23 Yeah if the rule is that clock starts when first player touches the ball…by my count, it won’t get overturned

Let’s see if @OfficialGHSA does the right thing… Bluff Bears got screwed

@coachdeesmith Looks like the dork that wanted to be liked by the jocks and doesn’t know how to act when they let him in.
English
Doesn’t make me dislike him at all. Hegseth pounding weights with the troops. Patel ripping beers with the boys. Normal people!!

A source sent me this video of FBI Director Kash Patel partying with the US Men's Olympic Hockey team.

And exercise as punishment kills! In our research 37% n=16 of high school & college football EHS fatalities were tied to exertion as punishment. Effectively the death penalty was levied for a perceived sin, ie, being late, poor effort, etc. Exertion as punishment is indefensible.
Steve Magness@stevemagness
If you use exercise as punishment, you are just teaching your athletes to hate exercise. It's lazy. It shifts the athlete to avoidance motivation. And research shows such a style actually leads to worse discipline. So let's just stop.
English
@CoachJimmieSlim Yup, having a school recruit kids right out from underneath you….mix of Clint Jenkins going to Morgan and Gess showing up at Hebron lead to that trend. Multiple skill pos players on this years team that were 8th graders the year after Jenkins left. I was AT at Dacula then.
English
Two programs have been well below their baseline in recent years: Archer and Dacula
The Archer and Dacula fall coincides directly with the rise of Hebron Christian

As an AD, I implemented a strength program where every athlete lifts in season with their current team. I challenged coaches to scientifically prove it was not beneficial. No one could.
It eliminated the tug of war over athletes and reinforced what we believe.
