I say it all the time
If you want to look like an athlete, you have to train like an athlete.
We are going to prove it again today with just a cone and a stop watch.

What's up guys?

Again we always talk about it.
If you want to look like an athlete, you have to train like an athlete.
Well last week we did a video where we looked at what is the difference between strength
where I demonstrate here on doing a row, just strength.
Or athletic strength, where we incorporate lots of muscle groups from our toes to our
finger tips.
Incorporating everything in between: core training, upper body strength, stability,
balance.
That is what an athlete trains like, when we have to develop muscles in a unique way.
And actually that is what produces that unique look, that explosively lean, athletic look.
Now today I want to talk about something different.
I don't need a football for it.
What we are going to do, is talk about how do we develop power.
Power is not your ability to sort of move mass, but it is to do it a certain rate of
speed.
You are going to have to have some velocity component to it; that is what makes us powerful.
But there is something that we do overlook some times, because a lot of us train for
power, but we don't train for power endurance.
Power endurance is the ability to continue to produce that power over, and over and over
again.
So I don't care if you are an athlete, you are going to need power endurance because
you need to be able to reproduce that explosiveness throughout the entire game.
But if you are a guy in the weight room that doesn't get into this, and doesn't want to
compete in athletics, but just wants to look like an athlete.
Then you had better be able to have reproducible power,
Because I am telling you if you can do that, if you can reproduce those max efforts within
a certain workout period.
If I can do them 20 times but you can only do it 3 times within a 20 minute workout-
I am getting a better workout than you are.
I am getting better results in the long term.
So what do we do?
We have just a cone and a stopwatch.
It is called a 30 second cone test.
Very integral part of our training.
When we were back in spring training we would have all athletes doing this test as one of
the indicators of power and endurance.
So all you have to do, get yourself a cone, put it on the ground.
Take this, you have to hop over it 2 feet as high from side to side in 30 seconds.
So I will just demo 10 seconds of it.
Feet together, you start your clock, explosive, back and forth.
Just touch, touch, touch, touch, touch, just like that all the way through.
Guys I say it all the time, but this is the way you test your power.
This is how you test power and endurance.
Can you generate power and can you reproduce that over and over again.
If you are at home, and you are trying to work out, and you are trying to build muscle-
And you are trying to get lean, the fact of the matter is it all comes down to how productive
your workouts are.
I said it a few minutes ago, if we both work out for 30 minutes-
And I get more work done, then I get a better workout.
I have a better chance at building muscle; I have a better chance at getting results.
I want to train you in a way exactly that gets you more results in the shortest amount
of time.
You can either train hard or you can train long, but you can't do both.
With ATHLEAN-X we train hard and intense, but we train briefly to get results.
If you haven't already,guys, head to AthleanX.com, grab a training program.
See how you can start doing power endurance for your upper body.
How you can start doing power endurance for your arms, your shoulders.
How you can start doing power endurance for your legs.
Even how you can start doing this stuff for your core.
It is incredible stuff, especially when you package it around so that it is a unique exercise
in ATHLEAN-X.
You are going to get results faster than you ever have before.
Guys, we will be back here again next week.
More training like an athlete, to get you looking like an athlete.
More stuff like this on the way.
Remember, if you head to AthleanX.com now, you still have the opportunity to get "Ripped
for Holidays" bonus.
Exactly how to eat around this time.
I know you are going to have office parties, dinners with friends and family.
I am going to show you how to strategize that, to maintain your shape.
So when you hit January 1, you are not trying to catch up.
You are already hitting the ground running.
I will see you back here in 7 days.
