At Monster Strength, we focus on increasing mobility and developing foundational strength by training the basic human movement patterns. 

No one moves anything heavy until we can move well without any additional weight loaded!

For young athletes, the goal above all else is injury prevention. You can not increase performance if you are consistently injured. The trendy style of training these days is sport-specific training. The idea is to train the movements of the athlete's sport repeatedly in order to increase the athlete's performance or skill. However, the number one cause of injury among young athletes is overuse stemming from those repetitive movements. To sustainably increase performance, the athlete must first build his/her foundational strength through full range of motion reps while performing basic compound lifts. We stay away from the flashy and give the athlete what they aren't getting from their sport to complete them and ensure they stay on the field!

For adults, strength training is often overlooked in favor of exercise programs that simply train movement. While movement is essential, muscular atrophy increases with age. In order to combat that, we need to train with heavy loads. As my favorite physical therapist, Dr. Aaron Horschig proclaimed, "Strength training is the true fountain of youth." If you want to move better, have less aches and pains, and increase your quality of life, you need to start training with heavier loads and focusing on progression. This seems daunting for many people. Don't worry, this is what I coach. All you need to do is show up and I take care of the rest.
