Because we have guys we we collect all This data we got guys that that are Getting slower as as they're getting 10 10 12 pounds which is normal right it'll Happen but how much what what's what's The what's the threshold where okay We're no longer producing the amount of Fors that we need to prod produce to be To be effective you know is that Something that could be um studied to Figure out what your your maximum weight And and then speed velocity ends up Being or or if you're going specific to Your sport right like how much size can You gain relative to you know how far You're hitting the the baseball for Example or pitching for example is there Is there something that you're able to Measure from that standpoint or is that Not quite yet there science-wise yeah There there's there's correlations for Sure guys that are a lot smarter than I Am especially on the sports science side You know have have figured out some cool Some cool stuff there um for me it's More of a trial and error because I'm Like I said there's guys that are just Smarter than I they're able to Stu for Me I'm I'm just looking at the numbers Right and you know and if we gain 10 Pounds and you know and your speed's the Same then I know you're more powerful or Better yet you gain 10 pounds and we Knocked off let's say I don't
Know8 seconds off your 30 you're now We're really getting more powerful right Obviously you know we look at other Things how's the force plate kind of you Know within the force play you can look At numbers like impulse you can look at Numbers as like uh you Center Force Generated you can look at U at the r um RSI data and all this stuff will give You different little metrics that kind Of help you see where the improvements Are or aren't right um but um like uh You know and different teams will have Different different data points you know Like there's some teams that I've talked To that they only look at concentric Data and they'll look at two or three Points another team will just look at The vertical and just base it on the Vertical for for What um you know other guys will really Pay attention you some research will sit There and pay attention to the Ecentric Um kind of portion of the movement and Seeing how they're loading that and then They'll they'll be able to find some Correlations like there's some cool Correlations uh between um kind of that That Ecentric Peak load uh compared to The Ecentric average load and elbow Injuries and it's pretty it's pretty Staggering how how how well correlated It is right but if you stop when you Think about it you know if you can't
Block the front leg with a lot of force You know and you're trying to you're Trying to overshoot it then that could Lead to to more stress on the elbow Rather than you know like if you're I'm Going to stand up real quick but you Know if you're able to really lock that Leg and then let that thing whip you now There's less stress necessarily on the On the elbow to get you to that to that V so yeah so more Ecentric Force makes Sense to kind of kind of save the the The upper body a little bit right
