Did you mean anterior tilted hips? What I would do is stretch her quads, hip flexors, IT/TFL, calves, and chest before every session. Then do posterior chain activation. Show her once, then make sure...

Take this advice, and do the opposite.

Too cheap or just can't afford it?

Anyway, everyone of your clients can/should squat and deadlift. Does she sit on a toilet? Does she pick things up off her coffee table? She might not have...

Volume should remain low to keep rep speed high.

And, people have been contrast training for years too.

I would do 5-10% less than your 'max' would be for the given rep range. This will keep the rep speed faster, and not overly fatigue the body.

I think they are key for continual gain in advanced athletes. Probably not appropriate for anyone with less than 2-4 years of training.

I disagree with the statement that they should be done in...

What you are describing is a box squat

A speed squat is used with light weight. Descend quickly and explode up unto your tip toes. Used with loads between 25-60% and usually for time,...

Lol. Says the kettlebell guy.

It depends on your sets & reps too. I would...

This is pretty heavy on the broscience too.

As strength coaches we have to weigh the risk to reward on everything. Your friend probably needs loads between 500-700lbs to cause any adaptions. At...

I'm speaking in regards to football/hockey/basketball etc. If you're only talking of track athletes, then I agree you should take more caution.

My in-season football training would look something...

I think wrist strength is very important for hockey players. Think of your body as a chain if your forearms/wrists aren't stable you'll lose a lot of the power generated from your legs/core. I like...

Wrong on so many levels. I don't know if it deserves a response. Even during in-season it's extremely important to work your legs. You just need to reduce volume and raise intensity. The goal isn't...

Just to expand on Spartan's post.

Unless you're competing in a pistol squat competition, don't do CF. If you want to continue 'forging elite fitness' then work your CF training around your sport...

Viagra has made me stronger, and last longer too!

Just because the kid got peach fuss 2 years before the rest of his classmates does not make him a prodigy.
