In this phase, we will focus on developing more stability. We'll also introduce movement patterns that the athlete will need down the road.

It is the one chance each year that sports practices do not take priority or leave players fatigued that they cannot give 100 percent to the physical development program.

Here are some simple mistakes to avoid that will allow you to put yourself in the best position to train pain-free for life, perform like a stud, and look good naked.

As with training any new client, there is a trial and error process to see what is effective and what isn’t. In this case, the training system I have put in place for my swimmers has supported them in breaking multiple national records in various events.

Most college programs that I've seen basically run three sets on all accessories. I didn't want to be most college programs. I had to find a way to do a ton of work and build work capacity but also not run the kids into the ground. That's where waving volume came into play.

Programming through injury doesn’t need to be nearly as complicated as we make it. It's not really all that different than programming a regular training block for a movement with a few differences.

Habits can be a double-edged sword that work against you, particularly in training. Attending elitefts' LTT3 Seminar catalyzed the habits I needed to break to push past my training plateaus.

Running sports are tangential in nature, so in order to optimize transfer from the weight room to the field, both vertical and horizontal movements need to be considered. To this end, the program I am going to outline will look at elements of training to ensure all bases are covered.

If you're interested in doing some strongman movements but are hesitant because you're in the middle of a program, don't be! Brian Alsruhe will show you how to implement those movements into your current program.

Believe it or not, it is possible to train multiple qualities at the same time. Athletes all over the world are training that way and making huge strides.

If you're not sure where to start training a 12-year-old who's a complete novice in the weight room, this program might just be the place.

Many lifters with anxiety and/or depression find that during or following max effort, their mental health symptoms worsen, and/or their sleep quality and recovery suffer dramatically. These three modifications to max effort work may prevent or lessen some of these issues.

Using powerbuilding blocks intermittently can help the weak get stronger and the small get bigger without fully compromising or favoring the other. That's exactly what this program aims to achieve.

Brian Alsruhe's background in strongman, martial arts, MMA, and counter-terrorism led to his training system being "messed up" and unique from everyone else's. Despite that, he's found great success with his programming and will be breaking it down in this video.

There's a fine line between doing enough work and too much work. Don't fall into this trap. Be realistic with yourself (and your clients, if you're a coach) and train for long-term success, not for short-term burnout.

I never cease to be amazed at how messed up new collegiate athletes are when they start lifting in the weight room. Year in and year out, this keeps happening without any sign of improvement. Why does this keep happening?

Strongman, like any strength sport, can be programmed intelligently, allowing an athlete to reach their zenith for that time in their life. No training style has allowed me to do that quite like the conjugate method.

I always had an interest in running. I enjoyed it. It always seemed to help me mentally, and honestly, I feel it’s in all of our blood, and we are predisposed to endurance. But I had pain in my right angle and big toe, so I told myself I'd never be able to run. Until now.

I firmly believe you have to start at the simplest movement that someone can master correctly, and then, over time, progress from that simple movement to the more complex movements. The process is one of progressive skill acquisition.

It is this article’s intention to impart an easily identifiable progression in accordance with Prilepin’s stipulations and practical examples of it, all of which I’ve used at the Division I level.

Believe it or not, the Air Bike can provide more benefits than just smoking your clients.

Not sure how to apply the conjugate method for training general population clients? Don't worry about it; I'll break it down for you right here. It's easier than you think.

I love and hate programming. When I'm doing research and reading stuff, my brain goes a million miles per hour. Of course, everything I read seems like the greatest idea ever, so I have to dial it down, but I've gotten better at it over the years, and it shows.

I am seeing that the specific injuries that are inherent in rugby need a modified program that’s not using traditional training equipment to get results, so here are 7 of my non-traditional tools of the trade.
