📍 Bismarck Demons·Sunday, July 26, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As the Bismarck Demons prepare for another championship run, their coaching staff is focusing on developing the unbreakable bond between linemen. The 'Pillar Press' drill is a game-changer for AAA programs like the Demons. This drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps: players start in a neutral stance, then explosively press a heavy medicine ball (40-50 lbs) forward, focusing on extending their arms and generating power from their core. Coaching cues include 'Press like you're pushing a defender into the end zone' and 'Keep your core tight, like a rock.' This drill translates to game performance by building strength, speed, and coordination. By mastering the Pillar Press, Demons' OL will be unstoppable in the trenches.
