Preparing for the transition to 14U baseball ⚾️
We started today with some movement prep and mobility work to get the boys ready to train. In the reel you’ll see them going through PVC overhead squats and prayer stretches to open up the shoulders, hips, and T-spine before we got into the main lifts.
Today the boys started learning the Power Clean. With young athletes, I keep the cues simple:
1. Push the floor away, don’t rush the pull.
2. Jump hard & finish tall. Create force with the legs and hips.
3. Fast elbows, catch strong & meet the bar instead of letting it crash on you.
We paired cleans with Rocker Vertical Jumps to reinforce explosive hip and leg drive without overcomplicating things.
Then:
• SSB Reverse Lunges
• Half Kneeling Landmine Press
• T-Bar Rows
• W Raises
At this age, the goal isn’t chasing numbers in the weight room. It’s building movement quality, strength, power, and athleticism that they can carry onto the field as the game gets faster and more physical.

Why You Should Lift Odd Objects
Barbells and dumbbells are great because they’re balanced and predictable. Real life and sport usually aren’t.
Sandbags, stones, kegs, heavy medicine balls and other odd objects force you to produce strength when the load isn’t perfectly positioned.
That matters because odd-object training:
• Builds usable strength-you have to brace, stabilize and create force from awkward positions.
• Trains the trunk differently-the load shifts, forcing your core to resist rotation, flexion and extension.
• Develops grip & upper-back strength-you can’t rely on a perfectly shaped handle.
• Improves positional strength-picking something up, carrying it and loading it exposes ranges a barbell may not.
• Builds work capacity-carries, shouldering and loading give you strength and conditioning at the same time.
• Transfers to sport & life-opponents, kids, furniture and heavy bags don’t have evenly distributed weight.
You don’t need to replace traditional strength training with odd objects.
They’re another tool in the toolbox.
Get strong with the basics. Then learn how to apply that strength when things aren’t perfectly balanced.
