For today’s little adventure I’m examining the concept of leg power. The operation of any smartly planned and applied strength and conditioning program should be the development of leg power. There are many measures of this particular physical characteristic and in order to achieve it you’ve got to have your program dialed in to get the results that matter! Operation leg power ENGAGE…
Being persuasive takes skill. Sticking the finger in the face and just “telling folks how it is” isn’t really an effective approach when it comes to convincing others. The power of persuasion can completely change lives. Depending on who is doing the persuading some can be for the better and some can be for the worse. Either way I want to dive a little deeper into this and also look at how this is part of the strength coach’s role as a strength and fitness professional.

The lesson for today is mobility. I’m always hammering out the importance of mobility to all of my students and through my social media outlets on a regular basis. This is something that has to be addressed not only in the athletic realm, but in society on a constant basis as well. It really is a simple concept. Move and try to move well, period. This trumps how much weight one can lift or how fast one can run although being able to move and to move well also goes hand in hand with lifting heavier and running faster. It all goes together just like Batman and Robin, or Kim Kardashian and The Enquirer. Either way mobility and performance just fit together.

That’s Dexter pictured above. Now why am I telling you all of this? Well I’m telling you this because there is another very different type of killer lurking in the shadows that can possibly take out your strength program if you let it. Keep reading to find out what this could be!
