Author: Joe DeFranco September 10, 2026 Duration: 1:18:50

In this episode, Joe breaks down his tried-and-true principles for in-season strength training. He discusses Charlie Francis' famous "Fill the Glass" concept, reveals the two biggest in-season training mistakes he sees coaches and athletes make, and then takes you inside the exact program he's using with his daughter during her high school soccer season. Joe shares her complete full-body strength workout - exercise by exercise - including her warm-up and a new "Step-Down Matrix" that has quickly become one of his favorite lower-body warm-ups. He also reveals her mid-week "neural primer" and the full-body mobility routine she uses throughout the week when needed. Joe wraps up with a quick review of his in-season training template for football players before teasing his upcoming "30 Days of Delts" challenge, which he'll be sending FREE to his email subscribers this Friday! If you train athletes — or you're an athlete trying to stay strong, healthy and explosive throughout a long season — this episode is for you. *For a full list of Show Notes with Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.
