The number 1 mistake stopping you from moving like an athlete. Lifting weights alone will make you more athletic. Nope. If you're not training for speed, agility, and reactivity, you're just getting strong, not really explosive at all. Athleticism equals strength, speed, coordination. Lifting alone will not make you quicker. Your training needs sprints, jumps, and change of direction work to translate into real movement. Some key workouts will be sprint work, and reactive plyometrics. And with that being said, train hard and train smart. You must train smart.
