'This is another really quick workout idea you can create in your own backyard using tools in your own home or modified versions of gym exercises. In this video I show you how I created a sled drag to pull my firewood that I had split and combined a battling rope exercise to improve my fitness levels. Circuit training workouts are some of the best ways to improve strength and fitness at the same time and this workout is a perfect example.   A circuit workout normally involves setting up a series of exercises starting at a minimum of 4 and as many as 15 exercises and completing one set of each exercise in succession without resting between. One full round of the 4-15 exercises is effectively one round of the circuit. Your goal is to try to make it through 2-4 rounds (sets) of the circuit. A resting period of 3-5 minutes between each round is enough time to allow the body to recover and ensure the intensity does not drop off too much. If you can maintain a good level of intensity it will provide greater returns.

Most workouts you see posted on the internet are focusing on strength endurance. And while this is good, the real hard stuff is the power movements as they demand so much more energy and technique. Power initiation is dependent on the legs with a reliance on triple flexion to put the body into a power position. Initiation begins with the legs, triggers at the hips, transfers through the core and ‘shoots through’ the arms to the fingertips. The ultimate goal is to shift the force-velocity curve so that greater force requirements (i.e. heavier load) are not met with decreases in velocity. With all jumping activities you will find the squat and hip hinge movement from the deadlift is the preload movement you need. The squat shares the exact timing of a jump which is why squat form is a great predictor of jumping ability and also landing ability.
