HAMSTRING CONSIDERATIONS
By Kyle Coogs
Kyle is a strength & conditioning coach residing in Massachusetts. He's spent the past few years working primarily alongside hockey athletes, among others. More recently he had the opportunity to assist with pre-season testing for an NHL organization. He also has some skin in the strength game, having competed in powerlifting for the past 6 years.
Hamstring Considerations
One of the more undervalued and under-trained muscle groups, the hamstrings, can be a complex addition in the programs of most athletes and lifters. In the athletic population, implementation in their programs revolve around Nordic hamstring curls and various stretches. Whereas the hardened lifter resorts to deadlift variations and avoids providing the muscle any relief. Before choosing a training method, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the structure around the muscle group. The hamstrings (which consist of three muscles) originate at the bottom of the pelvis and insert below the...

Introducing the Landmine Into Your Program
By James Thayer
James is an Assistant Director of Fitness and Wellness, educator, presenter and Pre-Script Coach. He believes the best approach to learning is to engage, educate and empower individuals and communities. James utilizes coaching, programming, performance and movement proficiency to set a standard for conversation to application.
INTRODUCING THE LANDMINE
Implementing a new training tool or piece of equipment into a training block can carry with it excitement at the prospect of change and new challenge. Ideally that excitement would be accompanied by consideration towards that implementation or it can quickly fall into nuance on the new, losing sight of the goal. The landmine attachment is one of those tools that is becoming a staple in most gyms and appearing more frequently in training programs.
The landmine is unique in that it allows the user to self-organize around an externally stabilized pivot point through both unilateral and bilateral loads. The...

BREATHING AND THE PURSUIT OF STILLNESS
All movement starts with a decision. You either turn the dial towards breathing or you crank it in favor of bracing. Regulation of breathing and bracing not only has a dramatic impact on your success in performing a task, but in your ability to reduce likelihood of injury. Regardless of how basic or complex the task, if these two...

REAL CORE TRAINING
By Abdurahmaan Saloojee
Abdurahmaan is a Pre-Script coach from Ottawa who loves reading, traveling, and training.
REAL CORE TRAINING.
Have you ever seen videos of people doing endless rope crunches while promising “core” gains? What about fancy X crunches, hanging twists, and other painful looking contortions? If you’ve spent any time on the internet, you probably have. You may have even tried some of them yourself (guilty). What do they really do, and how helpful are they?
The exercises mentioned above can be classified as “abdominal training”. They are not necessarily core exercises. To clarify this, we need to understand the difference between muscle action and muscle function. Muscle action is the way a muscle moves from origin to insertion—very simple. The bicep’s action would be bending (flexing) the elbow. However, function is not as easy. A muscle’s function is how it behaves when we walk and breathe. It can also...
PODCAST EPISODE #248: INTENSITY
SUBSCRIBE
Dr. Jordan Shallow and Killian Hamilton lead our discussion today surrounding the RPE style methods of training and learning to try hard. The boys discuss the time and skill required to truly understand an RPE 10 and what exercises may be a better selection to help clientele understand how to actually try hard. In addition, Shallow and Killian discuss how coaching can become predatory and why changing exercise selection too often is likely to be detrimental to progress.
