Lie on stomach
When coach says “go,” raise into push-up position and bring one foot forward under torso so knee is at chest
On second “go,” explode forward off loaded leg and sprint to first base or for 30 yards
Benefits: Loading one leg with more weight than the other trains an athlete to be explosive even when his weight is not centered.
Coaching Point: “We perform this explosive work two days after leg work in the weight room, so the players’ legs aren’t fatigued.”
Reps: 6 (alternating legs)
Rest to Work Ratio: 3:1
Frequency: Two times a week
