Deceleration Football players perform 3x more high-intensity DEC than ACC, with 38% greater load on the body Progression:
1️⃣ Touch cones → external cues → hip/knee flexion → ⬇️ ACL load
2️⃣ Band below knee → co-contraction
3️⃣ Band at torso → posterior oblique chain

💡 Why Bulgarian Split Squat Pogo is essential •🏃🏼‍♂️ Soleus = major force producer in running/sprinting •💪🏻 Produces 8x BW vs. gastrocnemius 3x BW •📈 Stores & releases more elastic energy due to slower lengthening •🔋 Improves running economy with quasi-isometric work

There’s a weak correlation between #hypertrophy & #strength gains (r = 0.157 Ahtiainen 2016). Classic hypertrophy methods often shift muscles towards a slower phenotype & mainly result in sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. These methods boost myofibrillar & fast-twitch fiber hypertrophy:

Velocity-based strength training @krcgenkofficial w/ combo of vertical & HFP 📈 Incorporating VBT boosts strength, power & speed w/ better control of NM fatigue, timing of super-compensation & more favourable anabolic-catabolic balance (Rodriguez-Rosell 2021, Pareja-Blanco 2017)

🏋️‍♂️ Unlock the power of flywheel training with the right technique! Flywheel operates as a closed system where energy is balanced. Technique is key to achieving that ECC overload: Explode in CON, gently brake during start ECC, then hit the brakes hard at end of ECC ROM.

Plyometrics prevent 2/3 of acute & 1/2 of chronic injuries (Lauersen 2014) NM adaptations: 1️⃣ ⬆️ pre-activation before landing (Wu 2010) 2️⃣ ⬆️ RFD (Waugh 2014) 3️⃣ ⬆️ stiffness of MTU (Foure 2011) 4️⃣ More symmetric co-contraction between opposing muscle groups (Chimera 2004)

Prehab avoids rehab 1-2 sets x 8-12 reps 1️⃣ Exs 1,3 & 5 combine full ROM with eccentric overload   2️⃣ Exs 2 & 4 combine deceleration w/ perturbation to enhance efficiency of self-stabilising processes   3️⃣ Ex 7 strengthens cross-body connection in all 3 planes & hip-spine diss.
