I need some time for a little rant. Recently it has come to my attention that their are some student athletes on our sports teams who are not currently engaging in a weight training program because their doctors have instructed them that it was unsafe for them to do so.
Well if you know me, you know that this fires me up, pure ignorance. This is as bad as prescribing 3 sets of 10. Come on people get up with the current research, well it was current about 15 years ago. It is safe to for younger athletes to strength train, in fact, it is beneficial for them to do so. Well I know that my words may not hold water with all people so I will link a research review article that sites 145 separate pieces of research.
