Occasionally an unique athlete requests training assistance. They are special because I intuitively sense they have that “it”, what ever that “it” is. My intuition was right, Shane always wanted me to train him harder!An Exceptional Athlete
One summer, as a high school junior to be he had me believing he legitimately wanted to become the best he could be. Let’s call it his personal optimum! He was from a small rural high school [their high school still has a cinder track] and had only participated in football and basketball. He had a desire to get faster and bigger. So that was where we concentrated.
We were able to train three days a week for eight weeks. For speed, I kept it simple. He had no idea how to start properly so we concentrated on Dynamic Force Weight Training methods and techniques, proper starting mechanics and using speed training sleds for 10 to 20 yds, with various weight loads.
The results. At the end of eight weeks, he ran the third fastest 10 yds of any athlete I have ever trained. That included a junior college All-American returner/receiver whose best 40 yd dash was 4.38 and routinely was in the low 4.0’s, and a NCAA D-11 All-American running back who routinely was in the low 4.0’s, who in recent years was the all-time four year NCAA rushing leader, and as a Free Agent led NFL Europe in rushing.
Shane also gained 10bs and increased his bench press 40 lbs. This past summer he routinely over trained. The biggest issue is “holding him back” so he gets enough rest and proper nutrition to repair and restore and rebuild himself for the next training session .
As a Senior to be, he recently has assisted, at his high school, a 15 year old aspiring athlete using Dynamic Force’s Ultimate Power reps, including drop catches, shock reps, iso-holds and assisted eccentrics [negatives]. I have not been involved! Training three times a week, this young man increased his bench from 155 to 205 [50lbs] in 6 weeks. They no doubt concentrated primarily on the bench press. There were no drugs involved!
“Expert coaches and trainers”, possibly degreed and with ego directed references to their experiences, and frequently irrelevant acronyms preceding or following their names may want to take notice. With Dynamic Force Weight Training for Speed and Power it does not require an “expert” to also produce remarkable results for developing pure strength.
