Moving Claw Series
In this video, you will learn/see:
The approach to the development of the entire Moving Claw Series, which is highlyd advanced and intense, and how it really focuses on the Ground Preparation Phase of the cyclical motion
The approach to volume and intensity, which has to be extremely carefully planned with this series, as it incorporates heavy joint loads
Full demonstrations and explanations of the progressions and sequences of each level of the series:

Resisted/Assisted Moving Claw Series
In this video, you will learn/see:
Examples of drills of Ankling Moving Claw Series and Straight Leg Bound Moving Claw Series under a light constant resistance or a constant assistance using a pulley mechanism
The concepts of power endurance phases of these drills with the constant resistance – focusing on force application
The concepts of the horizontal plyometric and advanced arm action training systems of these drills with the constant assistance – focusing more on limiting ground contact and increasing rate of force development
Definitions of Acceleration and Absolute Speed, and differences between the two components of sprinting
Definition and examples of Absolute Speed mechanics, with the understanding that training this cyclical leg motion applies to the point at which gravity dictates the body is upright (although technically not at absolute or top end speed); all the way through when absolute speed is actually reached and maintained
Definitions and explanations of the phases of sprinting and they fit into absolute speed mechanics

Approach to drill selection and overall volume between the technical and application aspects of absolute speed development
Ankling Series
In this video, you will learn/see:
The scientific concepts behind the Ankling Series, and it’s role in absolute speed as well as all movement training
Thought processes and coaching cues of the intention of specific isometric contractions
Coaching aspects in terms of what the drill should look like at variable speeds
Walking SL SLDL Series
In this video, you will learn/see:
The science of the overall increase in force placed across specific tissue (primarily the hip extensors and knee flexors) during this series will allow for adaptation over time – mainly meaning it could be over a series of training sessions, not necessarily within the same training session itself
Adaptation of other factors that enhances the absolute speed development such as joint stability and trunk/spine development
Demonstration of all components of the series
Slow/Fast pause
Slow/Fast reflex
Resisted/Assisted Ankling Series
Ankling to Buttkick Series
In this video, you will learn/see:
The drills of Ankling and Ankling to Buttkick under a light constant resistance or a constant assistance using a pulley mechanism
The concepts of power endurance phases of these drills with the constant resistance
The concepts of the horizontal plyometric and advanced arm action training systems of these drills with the constant assistance
Straight Leg Hamstring Series
In this video you will learn/see:
Overview
The advanced system of gaining range of motion with straight leg hip flexion with the opposite leg fully supporting the weight of the body
Intensified stabilization of the ankle, knee and hip on one leg, with extreme isometric development of the trunk stabilizers during this hip separation
The concepts of the stretch reflex across the hip extensors at the end range of controllable motion (the height of the leg leg lift)
The progression of gaining isometric strength, and utilizing the stretch reflex, which subsequently leads to increased range of motion of the hip flexion and increased efficiency of the hip extension:
