Linear Acceleration Wall Drill

What it is

This wall drill helps you develop explosive power for linear acceleration. It primarily targets your hamstrings, with support from your calves, glutes, and quadriceps, enhancing your ability to drive forward efficiently.

Technique tips

• Maintain a rigid 45-degree body lean against the wall.
• Keep your feet together and glutes actively engaged.
• Drive each knee powerfully straight down into the ground.
• Focus on quick knee lift and immediate ground contact.
• Accelerate your leg turnover speed in the rapid phase.
• Ensure your core remains stable throughout the drill.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
