Chest Bump Chest Bump…. CAL beat Stanford, put a hurting on them Now onto the vid, this is another exercise that will increase explosive power off one foot (first one I showed was the Reverse Barbell Lunge). Make sure you have a secure box that you are stepping up on, place complete foot on the box, push through your top foot, drive opposite knee up as if going up for a layup, core is strong throughout exercise. This is a controlled movement exercise and you should increase weight slowly, as there are many things that can go wrong…falling off the box with weight on your back is one them…no bueno. Create a great day! -Coach T

Thanks for stopping by!!!!! Romanian deadlift or RDL’s with dumbbells are a great exercise to target the hamstrings and glutes. These muscles tie directly into jumping higher and running faster. Slightly bend knees to take pressure off your lower back and to also insure that your back is “set”. Lower the dumbbells to mid shin level and visualize your hamstrings and glutes firing to pull the dumbbells back up your legs. This is a controlled movement exercise be aware of what muscles are working and be smooth with your movements. Create a great day- Coach T
