Tips & Insights

Home » Online Education » Strength for Speed Membership » Tips & Insights

“If you’re a beginner, stick with light weights for the first 3 to 4 weeks. You may feel stronger after a few workouts, but just because you can lift heavier weights doesn’t mean you should. Your body needs time to build enough strength to fend off injuries.” (WebMD)

– Michael A. Clark, DPT
Founder of the National Academy of Sports Medicine

“Your glutes and hamstrings engage the most when you squat to proper depth. If you’re going to parallel or below you can be sure that your glutes are firing. And when they do, you’ll decrease the stress on your knees.”

– Chad Coy
Master Coach, Parisi Speed School
3x America’s Strongest Man, Masters Division

“Before deadlifting, take a little time to get the glutes firing and your core bracing.”

– Chad Coy
Master Coach, Parisi Speed School
3x America’s Strongest Man, Masters Division

“A big part of strengthening the body is strengthening the core. To improve core stiffness, I recommend a lot of carries, a lot of holds and isometric exercises.”

– Rich Sadiv
Parisi Combine Training Director

“Weight training and strength training are not necessarily synonymous. Strength training can be just bodyweight. If an athlete can’t do a proper power squat and lunge, you don’t need to load them.”

– Chad Coy
Master Coach, Parisi Speed School
3x America’s Strongest Man, Masters Division

“Lift light weight like it’s heavy; heavy weight like it’s light. Your technique determines your success.”

– Ed Coan
Widely regarded throughout the powerlifting world as the greatest powerlifter of all time, Coan has set over 71 world records in powerlifting
