The Secret to EXPLOSIVE Football Strength & Speed

Over 15 years ago, when my uncle first began teaching me how to weight train for football in my parents basement with nothing more than a barbell and a few plates, I knew very little about Plyometrics, Jump Training and Speed Development.

In fact, I had never even heard the word “Plyometrics” before college.

Well, instinct told me that I had to take all of the brand new muscle mass and strength in my legs that we had so diligently built over the course of 12 months… and turn my short legs into POWERFUL PISTONS!

Instinct also told me that the only way to make this happen was to SPRINT & JUMP… but here is the secret -

I had to Sprint & Jump for Maximal Effort Repetitions.

Most coaches and athletes make the mistake of using sprint work and jumping as a conditioner.  They do way too many reps and perform them at a sub-maximal level. Also the sprints are just too long, anything over 10-20 yards is unnecessary for building power.

Watch this video of Chris & Byron EXPLODING with max effort 10 yard sprints and hurdle jumps.

PS – Only a few weeks left until the price on my Football Strength Program goes up… by almost double.  Join us before the price goes up.
