Freshmen Workouts

This summer I have been working my incoming freshmen out in the morning on Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 A.M. I started doing this about 4 years ago. Before this time I had them lift with the rest of the boys grades 10-12. I think this has been better to lift them separate. I have been able to work with each of the 26 boys to work on their form on all of the lifts. They came in at all different levels. Some of them had spent quite a bit of time in the weight room and some had never been in there. The first day we spent watching a video on the proper form on many different lifts. From there we went in the weight room and demonstrated the form that we just watched. Next, we let the kids try the lifts as we coached them up. I had some of my seniors and captains there for this so that we had a few extra eyes and help. Today we met for the last official time and I am really amazed at the progress they have made. They have been dedicated and have improved this summer.
