,,,, - Blake Gould - CATZ - Combine 360 - Friday Fragments - Under Armour

Last Friday I gushed over CATZ Austin and I’m gonna do it again today!  Every trainer there is truly awesome and there is no workout like a CATZ workout!

Today, we want to offer a congratulations to Coach Blake Gould!  He participated in the Under Armour Combine Training in Bradenton, FL, back in February and came back with a contagious renewed passion and enthusiasm!

He wrote a great blog post called “Taking your clients to the next level” that appeared on the Combine 360 page!  Take a look and leave a comment to tell Blake how awesome he is!

Blake has been a long-time supporter of Hyper Wear.  He loves to make his clients sweat using the SandBells and has come up with some awesome routines using them.  His Under Armour training has enhanced his overall coaching and continues to help him develop as a great trainer!  Way to go, Coach Blake!

,,,, - Blake Gould - CATZ - SandBell

If you know a lot about Hyper Wear, you know how closely connected we are to the wonderful coaches at CATZ Austin – Competitive Athlete Training Zone and Physical Therapy. These are an amazing group of dedicated personal trainers physical therapists who somehow manage to make working out fun – I mean really fun! I’ve been working out at CATZ for a couple of years now, twice a week, and I can honestly say I have never done the same workout twice. The coaches are encouraging, creative, and love what they do!

We recently came across a local news story that features an amazing CATZ client, Zane Choat. There’s a great video showing him working out with various pieces of equipment, including the SandBell in a couple of shots. Check it out:

Have a hyper day!!

Good Monday Morning!

Today Coach Blake and I are tackling a new drill with SandBellsor some on-field training for the big fellas. That’s right, this ones for you guys on the O-Line.

Run blocking is key and today Blake has come up with a drill to help the big men on the line increase their acceleration off the line and to help finish the tackle. Watch as Blake runs me over with a 30-lb SandBell in this explosive drill that you can do in the weight room or on the field!!

And don’t forget about Monday Night Football tonight as the Ravens take on the Browns down in the Dog Pound!!

Football: Squat Training Part 3 – MMM #31

November 9th, 2009
,,,,,,,,,,,, - Bill Meyer - Blake Gould - CATZ - Hyper Vest - HyperWear - Monday Morning Muscle - SandBell - athlete training - football - sandbag - squats - training - weight vest

Good Monday Morning!

Part 3 in the Squat Series is looking at coming off the line of scrimmage as fast as possible. The Viking Toss (or Caper Toss) is a fantastic way to create explosiveness through the hips and ensure that your athletes are fully engaging their glutes in their squat pattern. Bottom line is that the Viking Toss is a fun and competitive exercise that can help bring out the best in your players.

Check out the video link to see Coach Blake execute the Viking Toss with SandBellsâ„¢ weighing from 20 – 40 lbs. As always, we’re both wearing a Hyper Vest® for added weight and resistance to get even more out of our workouts.

Enjoy!!

Make sure to tune in to the Steelers take on the mile high Broncos tonight on Monday Night Football!!

Football: Squat Training Part 2 – MMM #30

November 2nd, 2009
,,,,,,,,, - Bill Meyer - Blake Gould - CATZ - Hyper Vest - HyperWear - Monday Morning Muscle - SandBell - athlete training - football - sandbag - weight vest

Good Monday Morning!

Part 2 in the Squat Series…..Time to introduce some power. Last week we worked on creating strength with heavier loads and slower tempo. Now it’s time to be quick, explosive, and train at game speed.

Here’s a variation of a squat-to-push-press that you can do with any size group of athletes using a medium-sized SandBellâ„¢. Make sure you still focus on triple extension of the ankles, knees, and hips as you let the SandBell fly!! And also remember that creating a strong base in the core and legs is always necessary before going into a power series, no matter who the athlete is.

Enjoy!!

Tonight the Falcons are invading Bourbon Street as the Dirty Birds take on Reggie Bush and the high flying Saints! Be sure to tune in!!
