Tip #1: Mental Warm-up

Hello Everyone!

Here at AGMC's Sports Performance we spend about 20 minutes warming up our athletes via an active-dynamic warm-up. It serves many physiological purposes such as increasing body temperature and increasing mobility of the muscles and joints, but there is also a mental purpose to the warm-up.

Your warm-up is your time to...

GET YOUR MIND RIGHT!

It's your time to transition from being a student, being a worker, being whatever you are outside of the gym, and transition to an athlete that is focused on your goals and understands that the workout ahead can help you achieve them.

No matter how much time you spend on your warm-up, it should serve the purpose of getting you prepared mentally for the challenges ahead.

Keep Training!

TESTING

Hello Everyone!

It's the beginning of the month and that means testing here at AGMC Sports Performance. We perform tests on our athletes that research has shown can be good indicators of athletic performance. These tests help us monitor and track an athlete's progress.

Those tests are:
* Vertical Jump
* Long Jump
* 10 yard dash
* 5-10-5

Exciting results from this latest round of testing (as compared to the athletes' performance from August) include:

- one athlete increased his vertical jump by 1.5 inches, added an 1 inch to his long jump, and shaved 0.161 seconds off his 10 yd dash

- another athlete increased his vertical jump by 1.5 inches and added 3 inches to his long jump

- still another athlete shaved 0.169 seconds off his 10 yd dash and added 2 inches to his long jump

- and one athlete added 7.5 inches to his long jump and shaved 0.294 sec off his right 5-10-5 and 0.106 seconds off his left

All this improvement occurred over the course of ONE MONTH of training with AGMC Sports Performance!

Just imagine how much faster and powerful you could be after in as little as 4 WEEKS of training at AGMC Sports Performance....
...better yet, don't imagine it...come and BE BETTER!

Keep Training!

400# Back Squat @ 19

Hello Everyone,

Athletes are getting dirty here at AGMC's Sports Performance!

On Monday we had one of our (recently turned) 19 year old athletes Back Squat 400 lbs for 2 reps. Now, this wasn't a "box" or "parallel" squat... this was a butt below the calves, almost to the floor back squat! It was awesome!

Do you want to get stronger? More powerful?

Do you want to train where top Northeast Ohio high school and college athletes are Back Squatting 400 lbs?
