Joe,
Thanx again for this great poscast!
I want to train my hamstrings more, but with the excersises on your youtube channel i have 2 problems.
– i have a grind floor so, a towel or furnature sliders wont work.
– i dont know what to use to perform natural glute ham raises, and want to perform by myself. (even the closet lifted when performing them)
Hope you have tips to get this done.
This is a very timely episode with the information on training for the combine. One of our guys just found out they’re starting a professional gridiron league in Australia, and they’re running the combine in March. Obviously prepping guys for the NFL combine doesn’t come up much down here, and so it was awesome to get some advice straight from the source. Thanks, Joe.
We also just bought your combine prep book, and we’ll be implementing it into his training. The aim is for him to dominate every other linesman on the day.
