Tips and Drills for Linemen: Take a Look

Check out this Derby Camp Classic

Granny throws to develop Explosive Power with Matt James

The Granny Throw with a medicine training ball is one of my favorite drills for linemen. Good for all athletes but this drill works the core like a Power lift but at the same time develops the ankles, Knees, and Hips. Getting those hips to release is crucial for linemen on both sides but especially O linemen. There is a great video of this at http://sparqtraining.com/videos/?p=601 and I have seen this work to develop players here in the NW. Pictured is Myles Wade, future Oregon Duck, at the Nike Combine at Eugene in 2006. Various weights of medicine balls can be used. A great drill to be done in three sets of ten.

Training European Style for Max results!! Something different.
