How Grant Budurka Went From 74 to 80 mph at 5'5" 135lbs
From 74 to 80 mph at 5'5" 135lbs, an athlete update from Performance Coach @sidearm.step 😤
Tread Athlete @grant.budurka came to Tread, topping out at 74 mph, and a couple of months later, he’s already gained 6 mph, hitting 80 mph for the first time.
Standing at just 5’5”, we needed to really leverage everything that he had. We worked on some basic drill work to allow for more leverage in the glove side, as well as being able to work the t-spine into extension.
With the 10 toes we were really trying to emphasize the arm action and torso rotation in plane.
Figure 8 Rockers also allowed him to start creating that loop of energy and leverage his gloveside more than he was initially doing.
Grant has also been putting in crazy work in the weight room, and also never missing a day with his mobility, correctives, etc. The kid’s work ethic is out of this world, making him one of my favorite athletes to work with!
Some lifting stats (keep in mind the short timeframe so far):
Squat - 155x6 to 225x6
Deadlift - 225x3 to 255x6
Bodyweight up 10 pounds from 125(!) to 135 lbs.
Of course, he still has a long long way to go in the grand scheme of things, but he's off to a great start. Stay tuned for 85+ in the not-so-distant future 👀
