Henry needs to work his lower body to strengthen his posterior chain (glutes and hamstrings). He's 1 of the few top RBs that doesn't have a muscular posterior chain.....and this is why he lacks elite burst and power in terms of the inside running game.


He has the ability but needs to realize that "bench press" is very overrated for a RB. Get on those legs.......and NO I'm not talking about calf muscles as calf size has little/no impact on explosiveness. See great leapers and the top 100m dash sprinters for reference. It's the posterior chain from the waist to the knees.
