Basketball Strength Training: “PULLS FROM THE RACK” EXPLOSIVE TWO FOOT EXERCISE!!!!

Scott Thom — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 04:34:19 +0000

“Pulls from the rack” is a bilateral (two foot) exercise that will improve your explosiveness off two feet. Great for all sports but, especially awesome for your basketball players!! It will also strengthen the movement patterns for Power Cleans, Hang Cleans, and the Snatch. All of which should be in your workout regiment if you are serious about improving your athletic explosiveness!!!! Set the bar on the rack (mid thigh), set your back (chest out, ass out), knuckles down, shoulder blades pinched together, then drive the bar up explosively, vision forward, finishing the exercise with a shrug. Let the weight fall to the rack, do not control the weight, straps will be needed when going heavy. Create a great day!!!!! -Coach T

Hey thanks for stopping by I hope you’re having a great weekend!!! Shoulders and knees are the most commonly injured joints for athletes. These three exercises focus on strengthening the shoulder girdle and should be added to your dynamic warmup, they will decrease the risk of shoulder injuries dramatically. Muscular imbalances, and improper lifting techniques will lead to injury, these exercises will help to get your shoulders back on track!!!!!! Create a great day!!!! -Coach T

Gabe has worked his way into a healthier future!!! Within the past 5 months this young man has been, “Getting After It” on a daily basis at HealthQuest Fitness Center in Napa Valley. We met when he first joined, gave him a game plan, I have been there if he has needed any help, and the rest was his great attitude towards hard work, and his “I can” mentality that has lead him to lose 28 lbs….so far (he’s just getting started!!!). Keep up the great work Gabe!!! -Coach T

Partner Workout Circuit: No Free Weights or Machines Needed!

This is a great workout to spice up your routine. All you need is a good workout partner and a medicine ball. I use many of these exercises with my basketball players during pre-season conditioning, often we are on a track with about 60 kids and not much equipment so, partner them up based on similar builds and strength levels and “Get After It”!!!!!!
