Throughout my entire sports career I was a great athlete and did well enough to get where I am today.

However, I can’t help but to look back at how much MORE I could’ve been or done at an earlier age.

Not necessarily “regret”, just if I had the info/knowledge: 🚀🚀🚀

(Thread) If I had the info on how to train and improve the insane jumping ability or the secret codes to sprinting even faster

WOULD’VE been a monster way earlier

What exactly “held me back”?

-A hail of injuries
-Coaches that didn’t know shit
-Overtraining
-Lack of Mobility

Etc.

WHY YOU NEED TO TRAIN YOUR CORE‼️

This is a THREAD for EVERYONE.

From the superstar athlete to the business man who spends all day at a desk!

1. Improved Athletic Performance
2. Improved Balance and Stability
3. Injury Prevention
4. Help Decrease/Get Rid Of Back Pain
Etc. Now, what exactly is the CORE?

Psst... NOT ONLY YOUR ABS.

Those are cute and all but it goes deeper...

In simple terms:
-Abdominals
-Erector Spine
-Gluteus
-Lower Back
-Obliques

VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE TRAINING THEIR TIBIALIS.

The LARGEST of your dorsiflexor muscles.

You know... the thing that’s responsible for:

1. Stability
2. Athleticism
3. Transfer of Force
4. Etc.

Playing an important role in sprinting, jogging, walking, etc.

(THREAD) The most common “injury” and complaint that most active people speak about are “shin splints”.

Most people just experience them and forget until they return.

*secret*
Exercising your tibialis can help/prevent shin splints

FIX YOUR F****** ANKLE MOBILITY/STABILITY/STRENGTH

IMPORTANT ‼️

Bad ankles = AWFUL performance.

Unless you want to crawl for the rest of your life... PAY ATTENTION.

Benefits:
1. Decreased Risk of Injury
2. Better Movement
3. Improved Perfomance
& MORE Poor ankle mobility can hinder your ability to perform various lifts and movements.

Squatting for example... your ankles are a huge part of your base.

Imagine stacking 45lb plates on top of an empty cardboard box 📦...

CRUSHED within seconds.

NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO THEIR HIPS.

With everyone wanting to build muscle, run fast and jump high... it’s easy to neglect the “background workers”

WHY YOUR HIPS NEED TO BE BOTH BALANCED & STRONG?

1. Athletic performance (+)
2. Injury Prevention
3. Pain Relief
& More Poor hip mobility can lead to a plethora of pain and injury due to the increased strain on areas like your back and knees.

With a majority of the world spending extended hours in a seated position, poor hip mobility & strength is the new “normal”

Avoid “nerd neck & hips”‼️

WHY YOU SHOULD BE SPRINTING.

1. LOSE FAT
2. BUILD MUSCLE & TARGET FAST-TWITCH FIBERS
3. IMPROVE ENDURANCE/STAMINA
4. IMPROVE HEART HEALTH
5. INCREASE CIRCULATION
6. BOOST TESTOSTERONE
& MORE...

“How do I get faster?!”
“It feels weird to run full speed!”

STAY TUNED: [THREAD] As with any sort of training, you must attain a healthy diet in order to perform at optimal levels.

This is probably 100x’s more important when it comes to sprints.

Think of your body as a race car.

If you want that race car to be FAST you need to feed that engine race fuel.
