How linemen deliver pancake blocks. And why yours don't.

Strong in the weight room. Still getting moved on Friday night.

Six-time Pro Bowl center Olin Kreutz and strength specialist John Quint show you the 3 principles of Lineman Special Strength: why strong linemen still get moved, and how to build the strength in the exact positions he blocks from. The full training premieres on Wednesday, then Olin and John stay on live to answer your questions.

In the weight room

Benches 315

Squat is up. The numbers look great.

On film

Gets walked back

Loses the rep in the one position nobody trained.

The strength is real. It just isn't in the position he blocks from. That's the gap this training closes.

Sound familiar?

You've already tried the usual fixes.

More squat, more bench.He got stronger. He still gets moved off the ball.
More hand-fighting drills.The technique looks right in individual. It falls apart in team.
More film.He can tell you exactly what went wrong. He still can't hold the position.
"He just doesn't get it."The kid everyone calls uncoachable, who works harder than anyone.

It isn't him, and it isn't your coaching. Nobody built the strength in the positions he actually blocks from. Almost nobody is teaching it.

In the training

What you'll walk away knowing.

The same system being installed in college programs right now. You'll leave with something you can run in the session you already have.

01Why blocking is a skill and a strength.Coaching only the skill is why the rep fails, and why the "uncoachable" kid isn't.
02The weakest position caps everything.A lineman is only as strong as his weakest blocking position. How to find it on your own film.
03Maximum force with zero movement.Positional isometrics: the one strength you can train year round, in season, without beating him up.
04Ten minutes, three days a week.How it fits inside the session you already run. No equipment budget, no extra staff.
05Running it across your whole O-line.Test the room, group linemen by the position that failed, and coach them together.
06Live Q&A with Olin and John.Bring your questions and your problem lineman. They stay on after the premiere to answer them.

P.S. If you coach linemen, you've had the kid who's strong in the weight room and still gets moved on Friday. This training shows you exactly why, and the 10-minute fix that goes inside the session you already run. Bring that kid's film to the Q&A.
