My name is Zach Dechant.
I’ve served as the Senior Assistant Director of Strength & Conditioning at TCU since 2008, while working with the baseball program and football quarterbacks. During the off-season I personally train a group of 30+ current MLB/MiLB players. I've had the opportunity to train some of the best players in baseball, such as Matt Carpenter and
Jake Arrieta to name a few...
TCU Baseball Strength & Conditioning
Coach Zach Dechant Helps Transform
Players At All Levels Into Elite Athletes
My new book Movement Over Maxes takes the mystery out of strength training for baseball.
Written for the busy coach who wears all the hats in their program, not only is it easy to read and free of overly complicated scientific jargon, it’s grounded in concrete examples and very specific exercises and workout routines you can use starting today to help your players.
The resounding issue that led to Movement Over Maxes was the need for
movement literacy in and out of the weight room.
It was the need for athletes to possess the basic skills that would create the foundation of future development. It was a starting point to not only protect them from injury, but create more sound movement and body control.
The best athletes in sport are often the ones who have great body control and a wide array of movement skills at their disposal.
It seems that an increasing number of today’s athletes have never really been taught the proper way to move. This Foundation Program fills the void by building athletic-based movement from the ground up, providing a more thorough understanding of developing basic movement patterns off the field.
Many schools lack the necessary resources to hire a certified strength and conditioning coach, thus leaving the sport coach responsible for off-the-field physical development as well.
At high schools and colleges across the nation...
I created Movement Over Maxes for the coach who wears every hat for their program. The coach who mows the grass, drags the infield, handles the equipment, and trains the athletes.
This is for the coach who devotes their life to not only creating better baseball players, but growing boys into men through sport. I commend those coaches for taking an active role in their team’s development and
I wrote this resource to help.
The truth is:
You are being bombarded with information.
Every player wants to do what he sees his favorite pro athlete doing online. However, what most need more than ever are the essentials of movement... broken down.
This Foundation Program is built on simplicity. I created it to address the need to
maximize movement with minimal equipment. The real nuts and bolts of the program require a barbell and a coach with a desire to develop athletes the right way.
A barbell and an athlete are truly the only things you need to start using Movement Over Maxes...
As a junior at TCU, I was overweight and out of shape, with little to no muscle and weighing about 230 lbs. I had season-ending Tommy John surgery and knew if I wanted to get healthy and back on the field I needed to make some serious changes to my diet and exercise. I started to make these changes on my own, running miles and miles every day, eating better, and training in the weight room. I got down to 182 lbs... skin and bones. That year, TCU hired Coach Dechant and I met the man who would change the way I approached training forever, and the guy who would have a major impact on my career.
Coach Dechant came in Day 1 and took the team by storm. He had the knowledge, the track record, the experience in professional baseball to gain instant respect from every player. More importantly though, you could tell he cared about you individually and wanted you to become the best player you could be—not only as a group, but specifically as me. Our bodies changed dramatically. I was up to 210 lbs. in a matter of months and the most explosive and athletic I have ever been.
Zach has mastered the ability to get the most out of his players. The Foundation Program is designed for athleticism, core strength, power, and efficient movement that translates into better baseball athletes.
His real gift is teaching. In the weight room, where every movement is critical, his instruction is second to none and his players reap the benefits of proper and sound fundamentals. I can say, without a doubt, I would never have been the player that I am today without him. Currently, I’m in my 10th season of professional baseball and every off-season I come back to Fort Worth to train with Zach. Every off-season, he has me 100% prepared to play at my best.

No! Movement Over Maxes is a Foundational Program that serves as the starting point for any athlete. It functions as a guide for coaches of all sports to begin to understand and implement basic movement patterns.
Zach Dechant, in my mind, is the best baseball strength and conditioning coach in the business. He definitely makes a difference in wins and losses on the field, but his ability to develop baseball players individually is what separates him from his peers. His track record of developing young baseball players into not just professional baseball players, but major leaguers, is second to none.
I’ve worked with Zach since my freshman year at TCU in 2011. Every day, he researches new workouts and exercises that can make the body of a college baseball player stronger and faster. Zach has made a huge impact, not only on my career, but on many other professional baseball players as well. Without the Foundation Program, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Coach Dechant has been an integral part of our baseball program’s success over the last 15 years, not just with his amazing strength and athletic development of our players, but also with helping us build and maintain a culture of discipline and excellence. He is a forward thinker who is always on the cutting edge of what is in the best interest of the development of the athlete. If you want to improve your program and give your athletes a winning edge, this book is a must!
There are many reasons why I moved to Fort Worth, but the biggest one is Zach Dechant. As a Major League Baseball player, the majority of my off-season is training to get better and it all starts in the weight room. So why go anywhere other than the best, and Zach is the absolute best—not only as a strength coach, but as a person. He genuinely cares for every athlete that he works with and puts forth the time and energy to specifically make that person better at their craft. I was a sophomore when Zach came to TCU, and he immediately skyrocketed the program.
Personally, I think Zach is the reason why I am a big leaguer. I was weak, and had no clue how to take care of my body. He showed me the fundamentals, how to move my body, how to lift properly, and most importantly, how to keep my body on the field. I was talented, but he made me an athlete and helped me get the best out of myself. I’ll admit I was mad when he wouldn’t let me go heavy (and I still get mad), but
before I knew it, I was moving more weight than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for everything, Zach.
Zach is one of the foremost experts in baseball strength and conditioning at the Division 1 level. His research-based program has proven for many years to be on the cutting edge of developing collegiate players. The Foundation Program is incredible with respect to developing the player’s athleticism as the core base for player development.
