DB Hammer's Training Methods, Explained
A Free Guide to Unconventional Strength & Conditioning
DB Hammer's The Best Sports Training Book Ever is packed with fascinating training concepts, but understanding how to actually apply them can feel like learning another language. Neural Training, Decoded breaks down the major principles of his system into something coaches and athletes can actually understand and use. We'll explore the three primary training modalities (NeuroRate, NeuroMagnitude, and NeuroDuration), the Super Seven, time-based training, autoregulation (AREG), and why managing fatigue and maintaining quality may be more important than simply adding sets and reps.
Beyond the theory, you'll find practical breakdowns of specialized methods like oscillatory isometrics, reactive acceleration, depth drops, and other unconventional training techniques. The guide also includes exercise selection charts, sample training sessions, and examples of how to use performance drop-offs to determine when enough is enough. The goal isn't to memorize a complicated system or blindly follow someone else's programming. It's to give you a better understanding of what you're actually training, why you're training it, and how to know whether it's working.

About Neurologic Fitness
Neurologic Fitness is a strength, performance, and movement-focused coaching business based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, offering both local and remote training.
My approach combines traditional strength and conditioning principles with applied neurology, unconventional training methods, and individualized movement strategies.
The goal is simple: help people move better, perform better, and spend less time being limited by pain or physical dysfunction.
I believe effective coaching requires more than following a predetermined template. It requires understanding the individual, identifying what actually needs to improve, and selecting the appropriate tools for the job.
