Friday

I love Fridays, not because of the fast approaching weekend, although that is a plus. Friday is the day when I get all of my e-mail newsletters, and i spend about 45 minutes looking through them for new info. Well I got a couple today that I would like to point out and here they are:

Loren does a great job with this article, and it is an NSCA text that actually has new information, not just some pencil neck idiot who want to get published who does research on what every real lifter already knows. Sorry for the rant.

Joe always has great information, and is in my opinion one of the best S&C coaches in the nation. Anyway, take a look at the post about basketball players, could make a huge difference in your game.

Last one, not by Joe, but about him, and this may be getting redundant but o-well.

Future Strongmen

Wow it has been a while since I made a post, I am going to blame it on the business of football season starting, but we all know that is a cop out. Anyway yesterday I had a strongman contest for our 7th and 8th grade football teams and it went very well. I thought that this was going to be a nightmare, and it turned out to be a highlight of my summer. Not sure of the exact number of kids, we didn't keep score for all of the ages but it was between 70-90 athletes.
