THE POP + RIP METHODS
POP:
Fasten 1-2 inches of velcro to the belt. The athlete performs an action and pops the resisting velcro. It may take a few attempts for the athlete to adjust to the extra resistance. After the initial adjustment, the athlete should feel the resistance but the trainer should not be able to detect it in the athlete’s form. Train at this level until the athlete can perform the action without feeling extra resistance. Once this is accomplished, increase resistance by increasing amount of velcro fastened to the belt. Use the inch marks along the velcro to measure the resistance levels.
At each level of resistance, time the “Pop” to occur at several different points during the action. Do this by adjusting the amount of slack in the belt between the athlete and the trainer.
For example: In starts, time the “Pop” to occur before, during, and after the first, second, and third step. The more “overload points” you sandwich in a sport specific action the more improvement you’ll see. Conditioning the body to overcome increased levels of resistance will train it to recruit and fire additional muscle fibers. Patterning can be established and when the extra resistance is taken away the additional muscle fibers still fire, resulting in explosive speed.
RIP:
The “Rip” method overloads a series of points instead of a single point. It provides contrast training within one rep.
Fasten the entire 18 inches of velcro and use the cable for two types of rip-releases.
Smooth Release: Drop the large handle and maintain grip on the small cable handle to move from resisted to unresisted running. The runner peels away from the belt into their unresisted run. This method creates the largest window of recruitment and firing of additional muscle fibers.
Rip Release: For a more explosive transition, trigger the break-away with a quick pull on the small cable handle (like a lawn mower). The release is immediate. A trainer can restrain an athlete until they want a break-away to occur. The “Rip” resistance still occurs quickly but the overload effect does last longer than the one point “Pop” method. This method provides the greatest explosive contrast and gives full control of the release to the coach/trainer.

The Complete Bullet Belt™ Training System
The BULLET BELT POP + RIP is the original break away speed training system for both individuals and small groups.
It can be used for full resistance, contrast training drills as well ground based movement specific training in almost all sports. The Swivel D-ring along the belt allows you to train in any linear or lateral moves, as well as spins.
It's the perfect tool to develop explosive speed!
Use the BULLET BELT POP + RIP 2XR to develop even greater power in your explosive start.
It has the same 18 in. tail as the original Bullet Belt Pop + Rip model, but the velcro is designed to provide twice the resistance. Intended for strong and well-trained athletes who are searching for more explosive strength in the initial start steps or coming off a change of direction. The 2XR should be used as a graduation tool after training with the original Bullet Belt Pop + Rip. If you’re preparing for blast off, then the Bullet Belt Pop + Rip 2XR is the perfect choice for you!
The BULLET BELT POP + RIP 2XD doubles the length of steady resistance to increase explosiveness deeper into the drive phase of your acceleration.
It’s a perfect complement to the original Bullet Belt Pop + Rip as it allows a well-trained athlete to continue to build explosiveness over a longer distance doing actual starts. Looking to improve explosive speed deeper into your acceleration pattern? The Bullet Belt Pop + Rip 2XD was designed for you!
The BULLET BELT POP RELEASE is the basic belt in the BULLET BELT system.
It was designed for team workouts. Since practice time can be time limited, we made the Pop quick and easy to use. It includes an 18 in. Y-release handle-strap and the patented Bullet Belt Universal Belt with 18 in. velcro tail.
The BULLET BELT™ TRIPLE POP provides resistance and variable level break-away explosive training for three consecutive steps. It allows adjustable stride length settings, no slow-down between steps, and athlete controlled release.
Universal heavy-duty web belt with rotating velcro tail and pad. Use this belt and tail to attach all Bullet Belt training tools.
