So what did you think of the machine swiftdog?
The reason I'm not a fan of sport specific strength training is that I've always heard from coaches/writers I admire/listen to the most (I would name them but I probably bastardise half of what they say lol) is that it will either **** with your technique e.g. running with wind chutes, crazy golf swing machines etc. or yeah it might strengthen the desired muscles but those muscles could be strengthened a lot easier/better/safer with the standard strength exercises e.g. Squats, BPs, PCs, Lunges whatever.
So my take is to strengthen the body in a general sense and learn to express that strength through practicing your sport. Although I probably shouldn't make definitive statements like I did as I have no direct experience in this area.
Hearing about the tackling machine reminded me of when I saw on tv once a vibration platform in the Dockers gym...
