PREPARING FOR THE NFL COMBINE — A FUNCTIONAL AND MOVEMENT-SPECIFIC
TRAINING AND CONDITIONING FOR SKEET SHOOTING
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROGRAM FOR ELITE-LEVEL PLACEKICKERS
STANDING SHRUGS IN SKEET SHOOTING STANCE
(FIGURES 21 – 23)
While preparing to shoot, the trapezius and posterior deltoid
muscles should be engaged to provide support while holding the
gun in a shooting position. While focused on maintaining proper
shooting form, this exercise may strengthen the trapezius and
posterior deltoid. Adding the balance trainer will also engage the
core, quadriceps, and calves.
RESISTANCE BAND RECOIL IN SHOOTING POSITION
(FIGURES 24 – 26)
In order to mimic the recoil from shooting, a resistance band can
be wrapped around the shoulder for this exercise. A partner can
safely pull the resistance band while the athlete’s core and primary
lower body muscles are used to remain stabilized.
