for those wondering what kind of gains can be made, i suggest looking at the explosive mechanics insta page and seeing the freaks Jared produces

if you are interested in training athletes, his podcast, zac goodmans podcast, along with defrancos old stuff from start of podcast are great starting points.

The foundation definitely needs to start being laid at that age. Id argue that intense games of tag or kick the can, etc produce physical stimulus that would replicate even the most intense plyometrics you could dream up in a gym. One big problem with training kids is that parents pay by the hour and most of the training people have access to in their areas just isnt worth what youd be paying. I completely agree that the better approach is doing your own research to see what the truly elite coaches are doing, and just work with your kids yourself.

Excellent tips and info from everyone, thank you!

In the last six weeks we’ve focused on…
1. Form before weight
2. Basic & Compound movements
3. Ancillary lifts to assist w/ stabilizer development
4. Core Strength
5. Slow but progressive weight increases

LSU777, I’ve looked at the explosive mechanics page and it’s a great resource. We started with the dumbbell verticals today.

He’s loving it.

I just looked this up. Holy shite! I almost call bull shite on some of those lifts. My goodness, that one kid box squats 600lbs and maybe weighs 170-180lbs at only 17 years old
