The Truth About Strength and Power Training

There’s no denying the importance of developing strength and power for optimal sports performance. In fact, strength and power really create the foundation for speed, which is one of the key qualities that determines whether an athlete will be successful at any given level. Unfortunately, most training programs leave a lot to be desired and may be missing a few key ingredients that are preventing you from making the progress you’re after.

Fortunately, Mike Robertson is back with another webinar to fill you in on some of the training secrets to help you develop the strength and power that will distinguish you in your sport!

A few of the highlights:

  1. How fighting your body to get stronger is actually making you weaker and more prone to injury.
  2. Why a poor training foundation has robbed you of strength and power – along with ways to fix it quickly!
  3. Exercise progressions and regressions to make sure you’re using the right exercises for you.
  4. Why everyone should be training power – whether you’re 18 or 85.

Mobility Training for Improved Performance

Last week I got an email that Mike Robertson, co-owner of Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training (IFAST) with Bill Hartman and one of my go-to resources for new training information for the last 7 years, was releasing three free videos in anticipation of the release of his new program “The Bulletproof Athlete Project” (more on that to come soon). I’m a junkie for new information and when it’s 100% FREE, it’s that much better. Mike is an expert in mobility training, which is an important piece of EVERY training program we write for athletes and non-athletes alike.

  1. The three BEST methods for improving mobility from head to toe.
  2. A definition of what mobility really is (as well as what it isn’t!)
  3. Why mobility and stability are critical components of smart training, and why you need both do dominate in the gym or on the field.
  4. How improving mobility can help you get rid of aches and pains in your knees, back and shoulders.
  5. And most importantly how mobility training can help take your performance to the next level – whether that’s running fast, jumping high, or lifting heavy things for fun, Mike can help you out.

Elite Training Mentorship

It’s finally here. As you’ve heard me mention over the last week, Eric Cressey, Mike Robertson, BJ Gaddour, and Dave Schmitz have been working on a HUGE project over the last year known as the “Elite Training Mentorship“.

If you missed my previous two posts, you can check them out here:

  1. Lower Body Assessment
  2. Metabolic Training

If you’re in the fitness industry at all (strength coach, personal trainer, sports rehab professional, or general fitness enthusiast), you owe it to yourself to check this out. Each of these guys have unique specialties ranging from maximum strength training to sport specific training to bootcamp training, and with the Elite Training Mentorship, they share their “secrets” with you!

If you’re on the fence, I have good news. Until Friday (3/9) at midnight, they’re offering a pretty amazing $1 1-month trial. Eric has already added three staff in-services, one webinar, two exercise tutorials, and two articles, IN ADDITION to all of the stuff that Mike, BJ, and Dave have added. $1 for a ton of great information. Seems like a no-brainer!

P.S. I made a promise when I first started this site to keep you in the loop about resources that can help you achieve your goals. This is one. I hate sales pitches as much as anyone (probably more). If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. But for a $1, you’d be crazy not to at least check it out! Elite Training Mentorship

Metabolic Training (Free Video)

The other day I mentioned that Eric Cressey, Mike Robertson, Dave Schmitz and BJ Gaddour have teamed up to create a special program known as the Elite Training Mentorship, where these guys pull back the curtain on how they deliver staff training, teach movements, design programs and get results for their
clients. The program strikes me as a unique opportunity to stand on the shoulders of giants, a no-brainer for anyone that trains people for a living (and for the fitness enthusiasts).

Hopefully you had an opportunity to watch the free lower body assessment video that Eric put together. Assessing the hip and lower body is an area that I feel pretty confident in. Eric does an outstanding job in this video demonstrating a comprehensive assessment protocol. Given the proportion of sports injuries that directly affect and/or were driven or influenced by the hips and lower body, the information Eric provides is incredibly powerful, both in terms of maximizing performance by removing barriers, and augmenting injury resistance.

They’ll be releasing their Elite Training Mentorship program next week, but in the mean time, they just released another video that I wanted to share with you:

Watch the video here >> Metabolic Training

In this video, BJ Gaddour teaches you how to become the go-to metabolic training expert in a bootcamp style training session. I had an opportunity to meet BJ at last year’s Perform Better Summit in Chicago; he’s a great guy. I think “bootcamps” are easy to do wrong. It comes back to the “any idiot with a whistle can make a group of people tired, but that doesn’t mean it’s good training” thought process. Bad bootcamps still sell well because people equate tired with effective. BJ does it right. Whether you’re interested in running bootcamps or simply want to learn more about metabolic training, this is a great video to check out!
