Why I love the deadlift

The deadlift perfectly personifies my method of sports conditioning.  There is no gimmicks, you can’t do it half way, you make the lift or you don’t.

In the age of agility ladders, and endless sprint drills, the fact still remains that without proper strength, there isn’t enough power to move the athlete faster.

I am aware this isn’t sexy, strength takes hard work and effort, not just hopping around some cones, and running ridiculously complex patterns in agility ladders.  Blood sweat and tears in most cases.

This is why most young athletes, that are exposed to gimmick filled programs, never get faster, or better at their sport, because they never build the base of strength to support the sprinting

Had to share this article

This article: http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/slim-down-tone-up-quick-tips-that-really-work-477521/  is the reason I will always have clients coming in the door.  As I have said in the past, whatever mode of exercise you choose to do, intensity is the key, not duration.  If the body is not stressed outside of its comfort zone, it has no reason to adapt to the new stimulus.  That being said, the fitness industry keeps pumping out bullshit like this article, doing bent rows with a 1 liter water bottle, and people believe they are going to change their shape following such crap advise.

What we do

Explanation of Services

Our basic philosophy is just that, basic. We believe that every athlete regardless of of sport or position should be trained as an athlete.

All athletes of any designation should have some basic skills:

• running/sprinting

• jumping

• pushing

• pulling

• lifting

Our basic skill set is:

• increase strength

• increase endurance

• increase power

• increase flexibility

• increase coordination

Any athlete proficient in these movements and skills will succeed in there sporting endeavors, with minimal exposure to injury.

Specific training to a sporting position seems to be the road to which you would build the optimal player. The problem with this approach is that it leaves the athlete open to issues if for instance as so often happens, the individual changes field position (defense to offense for instance). A trained athlete makes these adjustments much quicker than a single faceted player.

Our pricing is structured in such a way that the individual can visit the facility as often as their schedule allows. This gives the athlete the ability to be exposed to as many skills and movements, as often as possible, maximizing their adaption to these elements.

By continually varying the combination of skills within a workout, the dangers of stagnation and over training are over come.

WARNING

All this being said, the glue that sticks all of these skills together is hard work, we are not a babysitting service, or a place for young athletes to hang out. We work with individuals that are driven to improve. The workouts themselves are structured to be very strict on exercise form, they are fast passed, and relatively difficult according to the present ability level of the individual athlete. What this means is all the weights and sprint times assigned to the individual will be made to be difficult to obtain, according to each athlete's present fitness
