Five plates to get the day started

FARMER’S CARRY VS SUITCASE CARRY
(READ THIS BEFORE YOU LOAD UP)

Most people default to farmer’s walks.

I typically use more suitcase carries with the athletes that I train – here’s why they’re a cheat code for core and control:

1. Greater lateral-core demand – huge anti–lateral flexion and oblique loading you don’t get from a symmetric carry.

2. Asymmetry exposure – the unilateral load instantly exposes left–right strength and control gaps you’ll miss with bilateral work.

3. Postural correction – great for pelvic/shoulder drift or lateral shift; lights up the lateral sling to keep you tall and stacked.

4. Sport transfer – closer to single-leg demands in skating, cutting, and change of direction via frontal-plane control under locomotion.

5. Lower absolute load – less axial compression, same (or more) trunk challenge because lateral stability is the limiter.

6. Easy to regress/progress – scale load, distance, tempo, and direction (forward / lateral / crossover)

Save this and share with someone who might like to add more unilateral stabilization to their training.

Getting sick more than your opponents? That’s not bad luck, it’s a strategy problem.

An athlete’s best ability is availability – if you’re sick, you can’t train, you can’t perform, and you can’t win.
You don’t get sick just from being cold… you get sick from exposure to viruses in crowded, poorly ventilated spaces.
Want fewer sick days and more training days? Save this and cover these basics ⬇️
Tips ✅
• Wash your hands with soap and water for ~20 seconds, especially after public spaces and before eating.
• Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer (≥60%) when soap and water aren’t available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Consider an annual flu shot – do your own research and make your own decision.
• Stay physically active; consistent training supports immune function.
• Prioritize quality sleep (around 7–9 hours for most adults).
• Eat nutrient-dense foods: fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains.
• Stay home and rest when you’re sick so your whole team doesn’t catch it.
• Cover coughs/sneezes with a tissue or your elbow, then clean your hands.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
• When possible, avoid densely packed public spaces.
• Improve indoor air: open windows or use better ventilation/filters.
• Manage stress; high chronic stress weakens immunity.

This isn’t the sexy side of sport, but it’s often the difference between winning and losing.

Train hard. Stay healthy. Have fun. 🏋🏽‍♂️

Change of direction is important for many sports.

This simple frontal plane (side to side) drill is one that I use with players all the time.

The small steps are great for developing neuromuscular coordination and the large hop at the end is an excellent power movement that requires change of direction.

These types of drills can lead to big improvements if sequenced properly in your training.

Train hard, have fun.

I used this exercise last night with our players after the game.

I really like the force vectors and the fact that you don’t need a lot of spinal load to illicit a strength stimulus.

Improving hip flexion performance may be one of the biggest secretes to success in all of sports.

In my observation and experience, the training ration of hip flexion to hip extension is most often biased too much towards hip extension.

This is a great exercise because not only does it challenge ipsilateral hip flexion, there is reciprocal hip extension of the contralateral lower limb and complimentary core and upper body stabilization required.

When I first saw this exercise I rolled my eyes and thought that it was a silly exercise made up just to get social media views.

But once I watched the description and tried it myself, I became a big fan.

Thanks for sharing.

Happy training everyone

MONDAY MOTIVATION‼️
This is one of my favorite clips.

Credit to Joe Rogan and

It’s my go-to whenever I need a little extra motivation.

Khabib Nurmagomedov was the longest-reigning UFC Lightweight Champion ever, holding the title from April 2018 to March 2021.

His record is an incredible 29 wins and 0 losses

He retired undefeated and competed in an era stacked with talent, including Conor McGregor, among many others.

I just think this guy’s focus, discipline, commitment, and humility are truly inspirational.

Hope this gives your week a boost. Go crush whatever you set out to achieve 💪🏼

P.S. I love this kind of stuff, so please share or mention your favorite motivational clip if you have one.

Happy Monday. Get after it!
