Installing Today’s Hybrid Pistol Offense Run & Pass from Top to Bottom
This manual provides you with the full offensive line, receiver, and quarterback mechanics for installing each offensive play presented. Coach Campbell has left no stone unturned for implementing today’s Pistol Offense into your program.
Coach, we do all sorts of strong man workouts. We usually make it very competitive, where 2 players compete against each other in a relay with multiple implements. One thing we have done is added a plyometric after each flip. The athlete will flip the tire then jump in the tire and then out (so their back is to the tire) then turn to the tire and jump in/out again. They will then repeat this until they have reached the desired yardage, which depends on how heavy your tire is. You will have to play with it. a heavy Triple extension+a plyo is a great football workout in my opinion. We have also used car tires to throw down the field. Player throws with 2 hands on tire (1 above/ 1 below)and twisting through his core. He races up to it and does it again, but this time alternating his hands and twisting the opposite side (twisting rt=rt hand on bottom of tire etc.) I've also seen guys do a tire press-stand the tire up on the tread and explosively push it back and forth to each other (it should partially flip to your partner)-could be a little dangerous if your tires are big and heavy

Coach TWS thanks for the response we added the tires this past year along with the sleg Hammers do you use those as well. Coach great to have you on the forum. Coach CAmpbell
Thanks Coach, We use sledge hammers at times and usually I have been pretty selective on who uses them. They are great as well, but I find us doing more heavy medicine ball slams in the weightroom. Same chopping action, ball high over head, up on your toes, explosively drive the ball into the ground pulling through your core, butt back with a slight knee bend, do not squat down as you slam it.
I use the pull behind running sleds. I have also make the either hold a car tire over their head or bear hug it while running 15 yards. Because of its odd size, it takes a lot in their core to hold it steady and run.
We flip Tractor or Truck Tires My son uses a 10 pound medicine ball and does leg lifts while swinging the ball left to right in a controlled manner I also do the over head slams, great for their core! Over head toss as far as they can Underhand toss as far as they can Simple toss and catch while laying down. Dont let it hit your chest when catching! Leap Frogs from a squat Use a Plio Ball and have them put their feet on the ball while raising their body off the floor, while keeping the ball still. All that touches the floor are their shoulders. 18 and 24 inch Box Jumps with leg/ankle weights (no boxes use bleachers)
Its not about how much YOU know about the game, its about how much you share that knowledge with the people around you.
Forgot a simple but effective one we used to do for Ice Hockey.
Stand on the edge of a stair (balls of the foot) Lower yourself so that your heels are lower that your ankles and then raise back up so that your standing on your toes. Repeat as often as possible. No weights are necessary and your doing wonders for the calves and ankles strength. Isometric using body weight

Coach Campbell, We have also used a product called "sandbells" that I learned about from Jeff "Mad Dog" Madden at the University of Texas. These are essentially neoprene discs that are filled with sand. You can use them for all the same slams and throws you do with medicine balls, but I prefer them because they really work your grip in catching and throwing. They also don't get as slippery as a wet medicine ball usually does. We also used them doing one-handed throws for distance (discus style, under hand, over head, etc.) and sprint to it for the next throw as a sort of strength and conditioning exercise. I found them on the hyperwear website, but I am sure they can probably be found elsewhere. We used to use small tires for some of these throwing exercises, but I found the sand bells to be much better. Just my preference.
