Barcelo Los Cabos
It's been a crazy week, but I wanted to put this up before I left.
Here goes!
- Evidently, Cressey and Reinold's DVD is
still on sale! Click here to pick it up before Wednesday, when the
price goes up $30!
- As I mentioned
Thursday, I'm dialing in the details for the Midwest Performance
Enhancement Seminar. I think we've settled on a location, and I'm hoping to
have the presenters info pulled together by the end of the month.
Stay tuned!
- A quick congratulations
to my buddy Mike Irr, head strength coach for the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Bobcats qualified for the playoffs for the first time in team history,
and I'm sure Mike played a big role in that. Congrats Mike!
- My gosh, the Single-Leg Solution (SLS) is so
close! Unfortunately I leave...

Bulletproof Knees
I had partial meniscectomy done recently (70% of anterior medial
meniscus is gone due to bucket handle tear). Now I'm recovering fine, with
no pains, swelling or clicking whatsoever, but I was told to avoid impact
activities, and pretty much to stick to biking only.
I don't
like "biking only" idea, since it would probably overdevelop quad relative
to posterior chain. So I'd prefer to do deadlifts and bulgarian single leg
squats (or reverse lunges) as well, and possibly more.
Do you
think these activities 3x week will accelerate the cartilage wear due to
meniscus deficiency?
Regards,
G.
P.S. My
surgeon was not enthusiastic about any exercise that put knee under load
when flexed over 45% degrees. And sticking to that rule results in a very
pathetic range of exercises....

First

Marathon training
Today, I'm pissed off.
How can I be pissed, you ask? I'm
two days out from vacation. I shouldn't have a care in the world!
Today, all I wanted to do was write my Random Friday blog post, as
I had about 8-10 great points to throw in there.
But
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Today, I'm going to talk about how silly
some people make strength training out to be for endurance athletes.
It all started yesterday, as I was reading a piece in the Indy
Star about how people train to prep for the Indy Mini marathon. As I
was reading the piece, I came across this photo:
DB Upright Row on a Physioball (sorry I can't put it in
here directly)
Pretty silly, isn't it?
But now,
that's how 1/2 the people who run the Indy mini-marathon feel they need
to...

2010 Midwest Performance Enhancement Seminar
Once again, I'm trying to do 1000 things at a time, but I think we're
dialing things in for this year's seminar.
Assuming all goes
well today at the Hilton (i.e. the conference room isn't a rat infested
dump, the coffee doesn't taste like toxic sludge, etc.) I should have a
finalized venue by the end of business today.
For those of you
who are interested, here are the preliminary details (keep in mind these
can and will change once I have all the firm details):
2010 Midwest Performance Enhancement
Seminar
Saturday, August 28th, from 8 am - 6 pm
Indianapolis Hilton North
Proposed speakers (these
guys have all expressed interest, it really comes down to if the date will
work for them):
Carlo Alvarez - Currently at
St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, and former head strength and
conditioning coach...
