Slams for Fall Prevention? - How Does That Work? Let's Discuss!

[@veronicacoffing2708]

Thank you for this!! I work with people that have Parkinson’s. They dislike slams but they do them moaning and groaning. 😅

Awesome job! As they get better at it, maybe they will like it more?!? Keep up the great work coach!!

I guess any movement done fast (but safe) can trigger those fast twitch muscles we lose first as we age.

For sure! But the ability to release the implement at the end of the lift is extra explosive and valuable. Fast tempo concentric movements is a great way to get explosive, but actually letting go is even better. Full release, full tilt, everything you got, so good!

Great video Robert, I had a question regarding programming the slams, number of reps per set? Do you program them ever session ?Your response is appreciated

[@rlinkul]

@@flightfitnesssolutions2809 2-3 sets of 6-8 reps with 100% effort once or twice a week would be good!! Glad you enjoyed it!
