Innovative Sled Dragging – Slosh Sled Dragging for Functional Strength

Innovative Sled Dragging

Slosh Sled Dragging for Functional Strength

by Jim Smith, CSCS, RKC


Check out my latest article that was posted on Elite Fitness!  It involves a very unique sled dragging variation you have never seen.  I liken it to cutting for football or explosive dribbling in basketball, but the carry over is for all sports.

Non-linear, non-patterned sled dragging is the key to preparing the body, the joints and developing functional strength.  Truly bridging the gap between GPP and SPP.

2 Insanely Effective Mobility Exercises for the Lower Body

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

2 Insanely Effective Mobility Exercises for the Lower Body

Here are two exercises I just filmed on my alternative YouTube channel (Muscle VIP).    Both are highly effective for increasing the mobility of the hips, dynamically stretching the hamstrings and warming-up the entire body for a training session.

Spiderman Crawls (with Rotation)

Coaching Cues:

  • Stay low to the ground
  • Keep a neutral torso and head position
  • Try and lay forearm to ground on initial movement
  • Rotate toward the forward leg
  • Watch hand during rotation

Squat to Stand

Coaching Cues:

  • Grab under foot and hold throughout
  • Drive hips upward straightening knees, dropping the head (dynamic stretching of hamstrings)
  • Swing hips through while pushing chest through and upward
  • Head should be in neutral
  • Drive knees outward with elbows

Reactive / Speed / Quickness Training for Athletes

Reactive / Speed / Quickness

Training for Athletes

When you think about speed, quickness and reactive movements you immediately think of jumps, agility drills, jumping and maybe even perhaps some overspeed running with bands?

Cool Video – Important Lessons

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

md_791874_Portland State at San Diego State_03

I don’t usually comment on videos for many reasons (everyone thinks their opinion is so important for others to hear haha).   When in fact, no one cares.

But sometimes I can’t help myself.  Because sometimes videos move me.  They validate many of my own opinions and I truly appreciate originality.  Something that has been lost in the fitness industry.

I mean tons of people have stolen my stuff.  Should I be flattered or enraged?  Or should I put my head down and continue to put out solid content focusing on trying to help as many people as I can?

Athletic Training – 3D Ankle Mobility

Monday, July 27th, 2009

mobility-of-the-ankle-joint

Benefits:

By improving the mobility of the ankle, the knee (requires dynamic stability) does NOT have to absorb unnecessary forces.

Typically ankle mobility exercises are thought to be reserved to keep athletes healthy, BUT everyone can benefit from this drill prior to their workout.

Any good workout should be structured the following way:

1. Foam Roller
2. Mobility
3. Activation
4. Workout
5. Recovery / Rehab
6. Restoration

How to Perform:

Sequence:

  1. Ankle Mobility
  2. Strength / Resistance Movement
  3. Ankle Mobility
  4. Strength / Resistance Movement
  5. Ankle Mobility
  6. Strength / Resistance Movement
  7. REPEAT

PS. Don’t forget about AJ’s FREE bench videos
