Cardinal Strong: Davison OLs Get Ready for the Gridiron with the 'Rack Em' Drill
At the top Div 1 programs like Davison Cardinals, offensive linemen are constantly pushing themselves to be the best. One key drill to get in shape for the upcoming season is the 'Rack Em' exercise. This drill targets the core strength and endurance of OLs, translating directly to improved pass protection and run blocking. To set up the drill, have OLs lie on their backs with their arms extended overhead, holding a medicine ball. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, focusing on slow and controlled movements. Coaching cues include maintaining a tight core, keeping the ball close to the chest, and exploding upward to rack the ball. By incorporating the 'Rack Em' drill into their summer training, Davison OLs will be ready to take on the competition and drive their team to victory.
