Building Power From the Ground Up Coach Paul’s trap bar shrug drill focuses on explosive triple extension—hips, knees, and ankles driving together—without over-relying on the arms. By extending through the ground, shrugging, and controlling the eccentric catch, athletes develop the ability to produce force quickly and absorb it safely. For track & field, this means: • More acceleration power out of the blocks or runway • Better force transfer for sprints, jumps, and throws • Improved posture and control when handling high speeds or landings It’s not just lifting weight—it’s training your body to generate and manage power the way you need it on the track. #MVPLeague #CoachMoeKnows #ThisIsTheWay #TrackAndField #SpeedPower #ExplosiveStrength
