The Movement Over Maxes Speed Development Course
is a 4-Part online training program that teaches and demonstrates the methods, principles, and system Zach uses to develop elite, explosive baseball players.
Coaches, Players, and Parents! If you're looking for a proven system to develop overall athleticism, speed, quickness, and agility, this is the program for you.
Develop players’ athletic skills for better reaction times
Build speed and explosiveness in-season
Get stronger and reduce injuries
Eliminate boredom and “warm up fatigue”
WARNING: The Warm-Up Is Not Just Another Task To Check Off Your List… Instead, It’s A Vital
Piece Of The Training Puzzle… And Often A HUGE Missed Opportunity
From: Coach Zach Dechant
TCU Baseball’s Strength & Conditioning Coach
Coach,
What if I told you that you have more time to develop better athletes than you’re currently using?
Or that you could “steal” an extra 30+ hours to enhance athletic abilities IN-SEASON?
You’re already using that time, but you may not be using it optimally.
That time is THE DYNAMIC WARM-UP.
Fact is, for most athletes and coaches…
More Time Is Spent ‘Warming Up’
Than On Almost Any Other Single Training Element
Think about it.
I’m not just talking about weight room warm-ups.
I mean warm-ups both on and off the field.
When you factor in practices, lifts, speed work, conditioning, even recovery/rehab sessions, it adds up to a huge amount of time spent throughout the year on ‘warming up’.
So my question is…
Or is it just another wasted 10 minutes?
Maybe you and your athletes are slowly succumbing to DEATH by BOREDOM, doing the same thing over and over and over...
What if you could use that time to create better movement patterns as well as eliminate warm-up fatigue that all coaches and athletes face daily?
I’ve served as the Senior Assistant Director of Strength & Conditioning at TCU since 2008, where I work with baseball players and football quarterbacks. During the off-season I personally train a group of 30+ current MLB/MiLB players and I've been blessed to have had the opportunity to train some of the best players in baseball.
If you’d like to know a
simple system to develop players of all ages faster…without spending any additional time on the field or in the workout room…then this letter will show you how.
It’s true:
Develop new movement skills (And reinforce existing ones)
Give your players a wider array of movement solutions on and off the field (Think of this as adding tools to their athletic “toolbox” so they can build more resilient bodies… react quicker... or move faster in a game situation)
Address common weaknesses and work on injury-reduction
Better utilize the warmup and end “warmup fatigue” (Imagine… no more half-assed warm-ups or “going through the motions” just to get to the workout, practice, or game!)
Get information about your players’ physical and mental state (And adjust workouts accordingly)
Ramp up the nervous system for games or practice (While also blending in skills in an optimal ‘reduced intensity’ environment)
Develop speed in-season (Yes! Not only is this possible, it’s necessary!)
AND have a TON more variety built into the program so your athletes are engaged and raring to go! (Rather than “walking dead” because their warm-up is so mind-numbingly awful)
The bottom line is… often…
One you COULD be using to better develop your players.
Enter my new program:
3D MOVEMENT PREP
It’s far from your typical lazy, one-dimensional, and BORING warm up protocol.
Not only is it designed to cover every possible angle of an effective warm up…
But it goes further to develop skills, speed, and explosiveness IN-SEASON.
3D MOVEMENT PREP gives you over 85 min and 11 sections of video presentations, 10 different concrete warm-up examples, and 150+ videos of traveling skills and movement demonstrations that make up each of the 4 pieces of the 3D System.
First, I must warn you…
In the best sense of the word.
See, your team and your players will have an advantage over any teams who do not know how to use this time proactively, as you soon will.
You’ll get back 30+ EXTRA IN-SEASON HOURS of PLAYER DEVELOPMENT TIME that you may not be using efficiently right now.
Your players will love it.
(Heck, they’ll even look forward to warming up!)
They’ll feel the difference as soon as their next workout, practice, or game.
And you’ll love seeing the results transfer to the field.
No boredom or stagnation
No complicated routines
Individualized templates (They’re easy to personalize)
No time-consuming static stretching
Can be done in as little as 7 minutes!
I created 3D MOVEMENT PREP to be the total warm-up solution…
And make your job as a busy coach easier.
Even if you studied every manual on biomechanics you could get your hands on, and learned the more sophisticated points of dynamic warmups, it STILL wouldn’t come close to the ease and simplicity of the system I want to show you.
3D MOVEMENT PREP is paint-by-numbers simple…
Doesn’t require a lot of time to set up…
(In fact, you’ll be using time already devoted to warming up…only using it better).
And it comes with easy-to-follow PDF’s that you can easily print and post for your players to see.
The 3D SYSTEM is tested, proven, and…
And safe for players of all ages.
Maybe you’re not sure whether you’re teaching your players the right things to help them get better and succeed on the field…
Maybe your goal is to keep them healthy and injury-free…
Maybe you wonder sometimes if what they’re doing in the warm-up is helping or hurting?
No matter the case, 3D MOVEMENT PREP is for you if you want to improve your program and give your athletes an edge.
Best part:
In a moment, I’ll tell you how you can…
But first, here’s a TASTE of what you’ll learn inside 3D MOVEMENT PREP:
3 SIMPLE PRINCIPLES I follow when creating any movement prep or dynamic warm-up (And why static stretching is never a piece of the 3D SYSTEM)
An exclusive look into the RAMPS PROTOCOL we use to layer in player development while warming up (Adapted from Ian Jefferies, this is the “secret sauce” that lets players move better, build speed and athleticism, and reduce injuries)
An overlooked way to measure the physical and mental readiness of your athletes (AND build trust with your players. So simple, you’ll kick yourself for not knowing this sooner!)
The number one rule you must follow to structure warm-ups based on the theme of the day (And the demands of the upcoming session, practice, or game).
9 proven warmups you can use today to develop athletic skills, proprioception, and coordination (We want our athletes to have the biggest pool of movement solutions available. Have your players do the progressions I show you here and they’ll be ready for anything!)
A simple question you must ask your players to easily auto-regulate training sessions (Create a plan B when needed… not a possible hamstring strain!)
A powerfully effective warm up your players can do if they’re short on time (7-10 minutes is all it takes…your athletes will thank you for making this simple)
2 overlooked ways to instantly upgrade a warmup (Do this to better prepare your athletes for the task ahead. Best part? They’re fun to do!)
The “living movement screen” that lets you quickly spot risk factors (These “red flags” destroy athletic ability and lead to injury)
A secret way to prepare your athletes to be better at their sport-specific skills.
Why you should never stop developing your athletes, regardless of age (This is the “spring training” secret that lets even the pros get better each year)
A dead “giveaway” that lets you instantly take the pulse of your entire team (Watch for this, and you’ll know when to go full steam ahead, and when to back off)
5 simple-to-follow warm up templates you can use to create new warm-ups (These cover short, medium, and long workouts, and are ideal for any situation)
4 advanced traveling skill patterns that will give your athletes faster reaction times on the field and during games
The #1 “most transferable” movement pattern in all of field sports (Teach your players this simple skill and you’ll be blown away at how quickly their athletic ability improves)
A quickie “idiot’s guide” to the warm-up progressions we use with our players (PLUS…how we layer in the skills and movement patterns we want for different workouts)
The “no sweat, no brainer” way to add variety to the warm-up
How to use a race format to challenge both the body and brain to progress (Your players will love this, and they’ll be better prepared for your next game or practice)
A simple 10-12 minute warm up that will have your players ready to workout… or run bases!
Two common baseball injury “risk areas” and how to tie them into the warm-up (Please… don’t miss this golden opportunity to do ‘prehab’ and reduce injuries!)
What to do after a long bus ride, car ride, or plane ride (Anytime your players have been seated for a long time here is the warm-up I recommend)
What to do if it’s hot outside and not much raise in body temperature is needed
What to do on game day for position players
Secret techniques for handling warmups on recovery days
The EXACT Movement Over Maxes warm-up we use with our athletes (Coaches often want to know how to warm up their players before tackling a Movement Over Maxes workout. Well, here it is!)
Breakthrough solutions for developing speed in-season (Research shows players need exposure to high-speed running every 5-8 days. Now you can use the time already devoted to warming up to make your athletes faster… even during season!)
Why 3D MOVEMENT PREP is also the ideal program for younger athletes not ready for the barbell, and how to use this system to build skill, strength, speed & agility to transform young players into elite athletes!
And much, much more.
That’s just a small sample of the secrets waiting for you in 3D MOVEMENT PREP.
Every aspect of this program is designed to help you get more out of your athletes; more skill, more speed, better performance, and a reduction in injuries… without needing to carve out even a minute of additional training time.
There’s no theory or “fluff” in any of this, either.
These are the EXACT routines I use with my players at TCU and my private MLB, MiLB clients. You simply won’t see them anywhere else.
In thousands of conversations with high-school coaches I’ve found…
Many coaches suffer from information-overload and too little time to implement what they learn with their team.
Headline
This program, on the other hand, lets you…
Maybe you’re worried about players getting injured from lack of preparation…
Or perhaps you fear there’s ‘not enough of you’ to go around because you’re already too busy from balancing so many aspects of running your program.
3D MOVEMENT PREP is ‘set it and forget it’ easy.
Beyond some minimal set up and coaching, it adds nothing to your task list.
And you can rest easy knowing the methods they’re using are TESTED and PROVEN.
So,how much does 3D MOVEMENT PREP cost?
Not nearly as much as you might think.
Especially when you consider I could easily charge $200 (and up) for this information and still give you a bargain.
But you won’t have to pay $200, or even $100 to access it.
If you order today, you'll get instant, lifetime access for one payment of just $74.99.
Plus, it comes with a 60-day, 100% Money-Back Guarantee.
Here’s how it works:
Use the warmups with your athletes for a FULL 60 DAYS…if you aren’t absolutely thrilled… if you don’t think it’s the
single best product on warmups you’ve ever seen… if after using the techniques your athletes aren’t faster, sharper, better prepared (and more engaged)… then simply send us an email at [email protected] and we’ll send you a FULL and PROMPT refund.
No hassles or questions asked.
3D MOVEMENT PREP MUST work WONDERS for your players…

This is what I look for in any new product or program: is there a principle-based approach to this? And Zach dives deep into that. It’s a fascinating look at how you take what we call ‘warm up’ and turn it into a system to prepare your players for anything. If you don’t have this in your library, you’re not as good of a coach as you could be!

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.

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.
