Full Body Power Development

The 1 arm Dumbbell Snatch is great movement that develops full body power, midline stabilization, shoulder stability, and over-all athleticism at the same time. This was one of Betsy's early sets. We worked on getting her to set that shoulder and initiate with her hips. What I really like here is her aggressive hip extension and solid receiving position.

Recovery day with ODU Football. Turkish Get-ups were on the menu along with some "Stretch to Win".

The "Stretch to Win" system addresses the bodies myofascial trains or connections in order to improve mobility and flexibility.  "Stretch to Win" is an excellent resource for those personal trainers and coaches serious about improving athletic mobility and flexibility.

Chasing Strava Glory. Not a good idea.

This past Thursday a group of Nut Jobs (aka Club DTH), including myself, decided we would chase some Strava glory. In the process we broke a rear wheel on one bike, a front wheel on my bike, and added another gluteus maximus to my anatomy. HOWEVER we did take first place on the Strava segment we were after!

Club DTH about to sacrifice our bikes and bodies for Strava GLORY!!!

Had some time Wednesday afternoon to watch ODU Football practice. Only one word came to mind as I watched the Coaches direct, coerce, and drive the athletes through their drills, INTENSE! If you plan on playing ball for ODU you better be fit. 

I have become a big fan of ODU Football after running the Summer strength and conditioning program. The athletes came in for every workout ready to do whatever I asked of them. They relied on me to prepare them for the upcoming season. A lot of work was put into every workout programmed to make sure that I didn't let them down.

Many of the athletes had big gains this Summer in their lifts. When it came time to report for training camp and perform their conditioning test they "breezed" through it. It wasn't easy for them but they passed with composure. Some of the players thanked me for helping them prepare as if I enabled them to be successful. Their gains would not have happened if it wasn't for the outstanding work ethic displayed every training session.

GO PANTHERS!!!
