Linear Acceleration Wall Drill Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Linear acceleration wall drill focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- Lean at around 45 degrees against a wall. Your feet should be together, glutes contracted.
- Begin by lifting your right knee quickly, pausing, and then driving it straight down into the ground.
- Switch legs, raising the opposite knee, and then attacking the ground straight down.
- Repeat once more with your right leg, and as soon as the right foot strikes the ground hammer them out rapidly, alternating left and right as fast as you can.
Exercise FAQ
What should I focus on to keep good form?
Move with control and keep your torso stable. Use a range of motion you can own, and stop the set if you need momentum to finish reps.
Which muscles should feel like they’re doing most of the work?
You should feel the target muscles working while the rest of the body stays braced. If a joint or the lower back is doing the heavy lifting, reduce load and tighten your setup. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
What should I do if I feel it in the wrong place?
Check your setup, slow down, and reduce weight. If discomfort is sharp or in a joint, stop and choose an easier variation. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
