Here’s a circuit from our team platform that gave me all the feels💪🏼 Contrast strength and power training, aka PAP or post activation potentiation, is a training strategy I’ve used with athletes at every level since the very beginning. It’s tremendously effective at achieving a myriad of athletic goals, especially explosive strength and power. Lezz goo! Without going too deep into the exercise science weeds, contrast training involves lifting something heavy and then following it with a lighter, higher speed movement of similar pattern to follow. In this circuit we do that on repeat for 15-18 minutes utilizing short reps and a full body spread of movements to help us build a tolerance to high speed strength and power over longer periods of time. A form of HICT or work capacity training. 🔥Come train with the Ridgeline Athlete team!

All I want is to move like a ninja 🥷 in the sport of life and never look like a stiff old man regardless of how old I get. And what I’ve found is that the hips are a big linchpin to moving and feeling better in any athletic activity I might encounter while decreasing back pain and helping me to prevent injuries as I age. Do these 2 combos to help restore and improve range of motion through the hips, knees and ankles through all planes of movement. Motion is lotion baby 🧴! 🔥Join the Ridgeline Athlete online community, improve your health and performance, train alongside other likeminded individuals and know that you have full time coach who’s in the trenches with you every step of the way💪🏼👊 Link in bio! #ridgelineathlete #sportoflife #hiphealth #hipmobility #strengthandconditioning #motionislotion #mobility #backhealth #fitover40 #injuryprevention prevention

Shoulder health and durability requires more than just doing some banded rotator cuff exercises and keeping your hands from going over your head. If the things you love most involve pushing and pulling overhead, throwing things, climbing into and out of a tree, washing your hair, drawing your bow or taking your shirt off without help then you had better build some bandwidth up there. Hanging, when done responsibly, is an excellent opportunity to build shoulder durability in OH positions and any position really. I do it often, and typically it’s not a dead hang but rather a supported (feet on the ground) type of activity that allows for traction of the joint with rotation, as I help facilitate length and space in the joint in an articulating manner. At 42 with one shoulder surgically repaired in college and a bit of arthritis in my throwing arm I have found this motion to be lotion for my shoulders🧴 Try it 2-3x week for a few minutes to begin with. Keep your feet on the ground and just go easy as you explore the different positions. Beginners can use straps or rings to lean back a bit to start with if hands OH is a bit too aggressive. 🔥 want to train with Ridgeline athlete?

Here's a short recap from a successful hunt I had in ME last season. On this hunt I used intel I gathered from tracking this buck the day before to help me locate and harvest him while he was chasing a hot doe that was shacked up with a bigger buck, a 3-way if you will. It took most of the morning to make my swing and locate the deer but after that it didn't take too long before I was in the action. Full video of the 2 day hunt will come out later this year.
