Open for conversation...⬇️ When coaches provide sprinters with workouts stating @ "70%" speed, how is an athlete supposed to interpret that? Where does that number come from?

THIS IS THE New Concept in Core Training. WeckMethod. We simply put fundamental principles into practice. Simple. TRUE. Fight / Flight Response Ability (with perfectly balanced locomotion) is the only acceptable target. Duh. (Why would you EVER build strength on dysfunction - like walking out of balance to begin with????). Serious question. Deafening silence. AND… to make matters even better, we can literally “WeckMethodize” ANY exercise or movement. To create better carryover than you’re getting now. Bold. TRUE. And I Stand FIRM that you NEVER perform “anti-rotation” training as peer review exercise “science” defined it. It’s worse than useless. It does what we MUST NOT DO. Upset Force Transmission (with imbalance and delay) - you’re uprooting yourself exactly what we DON’T want, with your pallof presses. Stu, obviously the soup has reached a Boyle. When are you guys going to address the Paradigm Shift in Core Training? YOU Guys are at the center of the “anti-core” dark ages of S&C. You messed up HUGE. It’s time to Relate to Gait… or go home. #EveryStepStronger
