DB Hammer: Beyond the Mystery & Nomenclature

An Original Interpretation of a Misunderstood System

This manual is a modern breakdown of DB Hammer’s explosive performance training system — built from deep study and original insights you won’t find anywhere else.

You’ll learn:

• What Neural Rate, Magnitude, and Duration really mean
• How to train inside time-based brackets (AN-1, AN-2, AR, AE)
• How to use AREG and fatigue drop-offs to guide every session
• The truth behind speed, power, and repeatable output
• Tools like ISOs, clusters, max velocity complexes, and contrast sets
• How to program by neural profile — not just sport or position
• Full examples of how to build a week, a phase, and a session

This is not a copy-paste of the original text — it’s a refined, clarified, and coach-first manual based on interpreting and applying Hammer’s ideas.

Whether you’ve heard of DB or not, this manual will teach you how to train the nervous system on purpose.

You don’t train muscles. You train the signal.
