Episode notes
Train The Trunk To Connect Strength
- Old-school fighters trained body-to-trunk connectivity that modern lifting often misses.
- That neglected trunk connection explains why strong lifters still injure their backs during real-life rotation.
Use Chops For Rotational Power
- Do sledgehammer/tire or wood-chopping drills to train hip-driven rotational power and deceleration.
- Use an external object to stop the acceleration so you can produce max power safely.
Use Pool Work For Safe High Effort
- Try water training for low-impact resisted sprinting and movement practice regardless of fitness level.
- Increase intensity in water if advanced and slow down for rehab or older clients.
