I get asked a lot about deload weeks. In our 4-day offseason split, we build in a deload about every ~6 weeks. It’s simple: manage fatigue so adaptation can actually happen. High-intensity training drives progress AND accumulates fatigue. When fatigue outpaces your ability to recover, performance drops and CNS output takes a hit. A deload is the reset: → Restore CNS readiness → Reduce joint and tendon stress → Re-sensitize the body to training stimulus → Set up the next phase to actually progress You don’t get stronger from the GRIND, you get stronger from recovering from it.

Looking to bring on a Director of Hitting who can lead advanced assessments and build elite, individualized hitting programs for our athletes. I’m ready to invest heavily in the right person. If you’re serious about your craft and want to chase being the best in the world—DM me ASAP.

Question 3: From your experience with established MLB guys, what current big leaguer does he compare to from a strength standpoint

This year I noticed something different. We’re fortunate enough to have a couple players in our program with legit first-round potential in this upcoming draft. This year, I’ve personally been getting a ton of calls about these guys. In previous years, that never really happened—it was always the sport coach getting those calls.

THE GAME REWARDS THE GRIND

Mission accomplished…. He became a completely different athlete. Bigger - Stronger - Faster- More explosive- More resilient.

I’ll never forget when a dad brought his 12-year-old son into our gym. He wasn’t the most gifted—but you could tell he was different. The way he listened. The way he carried himself. I looked his dad in the eyes and said: “If he buys in… he’ll be a big leaguer.” That kid was Mitch Farris.

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.
