-July 26th, 2019- So I have a long standing “feud” with CrossFit. I put feud in quotations because I never really said anything bad, yet when I did mention it I would receive the typical CrossFit hardo replies on twitter or on comments on the blog about how I was wrong, I was an idiot, […]…
-July 24th, 2019- By now I’m sure everyone is aware of the importance of being properly hydrated for lacrosse games, practices, and workouts. What isn’t as widely known though is that not all hydration sources are equal. I recently gave another talk to young athletes at the Toronto Rock Summer Lacrosse Camp (see http://www.thedynamicathlete.ca/dont-put-dirt-in-a-lamborghini-sugar-is-bad/) and […]…
-June 19th, 2019- Last month I found an article on how Lyle Thompson strength trains for lacrosse. I’m always interested in these as sometimes they are awful and sometimes they are great. View this post on Instagram Today’s happy place A post shared by Lyle Thompson (@lyle4thompson) on May 7, 2019 at 5:43pm […]…
-March 20th, 2018- The Premier Lacrosse League is starting up soon and they are doing a great job of always having content and staying top of mind in the lacrosse world. They released this article recently on Myles Jones and his training and how this year will be #ScarySZN. My takeaways: Jones is the first […]…
-March 8th, 2019- I hate training in a Commercial Gym. However I also love it! I see some of the greatest things happen there, like someone doing Curls in a Squat Rack. Today’s Friday, so I’m positive when I head to the gym later today that 90% of the guys there will only be training […]…
-March 6th, 2019- Landmines are a great core exercise you should be including in your lacrosse training program. They train anti-rotation of your core. You should feel a small pull in your abs on the opposite site of your body than the bar is on. A strong, stable core will allow you to transfer force […]…
-February 28th, 2019- It’s widely known that Off-Season training is when you can make the most gains. You can dedicate all your time and energy into training to improve for the coming season. You don’t have practices or games that interfere with your training schedule. All lacrosse players at the highest levels spend countless hours […]…
-February 25th, 2019- Too many lacrosse players are still training like bodybuilders. All over twitter I see updates from pro players saying they are going to crush chest and back today. Or even worse that they are really looking forward to training their arms that day, which always seems to be a Friday oddly enough!! […]…
-February 22nd, 2019- I recently wrote a blog titled ‘The Worst Fitness Test For Lacrosse” where I stated my dislike of the 2 Mile Run test. It is the least specific test to lacrosse that is used by way too many teams and programs as a means to measure their players Conditioning. Never in lacrosse […]…
-February 20th, 2019- I make my living as a Strength Coach, which means that I’m all for physical testing for lacrosse. I think it’s important for athletes to know how much they can Hang Clean or how many Chin Ups they can do. Single Leg Strength: Test It! Bench Press, which is my least favorite […]…
