Update

I think it is time that I gave a little update on how the year has been going. The weight room has been pretty much wall to wall since the day school started and the athletes are doing great. Volleyball is probably the biggest volume of athletes thus far and they are progressing well. Football although it is in season is also doing well, especially the freshmen and JV who are both getting in at least twice a week. Women's basketball seems to have a new girl come in everyday, they are going to have good numbers and some great athletes. Men's basketball doesn't have the numbers that women's does, but I got one guy who I think is going to be a stud and i met with the coach yesterday and I am setting up their preseason training. The hockey team just started as well as JV tennis. Also the CHS morning sessions are going good and had a new guy this morning. So I have taken some photos yesterday and today so here they are.

Im Very Impressed

Last Friday was very busy in the weight room, which for me is a very good problem to have. Had 5 different sports teams in plus the out of season athletes. Out of all of these athletes I was the most impressed by the freshmen girls volleyball team. It was only their second time in the weight room, but you would have never been able to tell. I can wait to see this group when they are seniors, ther're going to be phenominal athletes.

Here it is, for those that wanted to see it...

So here is the video of me busting up my knee. Sub max weight with plenty of spotters, doesn't matter when your meniscus causes your knee to lock resulting in a shut down of muscle function. Yes it hurt.



Anyway, check my YouTube and see the rest of the videos of the squat session, has 3 guys hit 475, not bad fellas.

Wanna good laugh?

First Week Down...

Well the first week of school is in the books and I am very excited for the potential for this year. The reseason for this revealed itself on Friday, which is typically slow, so I was hoping to get to the football feild a little early. When it was all said and done I ended up having close to 120 athletes in the weight room, it was a mad house and a great problem to have.

In addition to the Petoskey weight room I am going to Charlevoix High School 3 days a week at 6 am, which those of you that know me know I function better at night, but I am excited of the opportunity of being at CHS. I think it will take some time to build the program but they have some good athletes, and as far as strength training they are very raw and hence no bad habits to unlearn. Plus these kids are quick and pick things up fast.

So all in all a good start to this year, I think I will be very busy and hopfully have some great stuff to add to the blog.
