Holy Sh*t…Sport Science article on…Yahoo?
July 28, 2011 by
No really it's true... I thought is was BS at first but it's not. Yahoo sports ran a Grrrrrrrrrrrreat article about Usain Bolt and more so sprinting and running speed. Usain Bolt: A Case Study in Science of Sprinting- Jay Hart Hint: He's not fast because of "advanced training techniques" taught at the local "speed camp". Nor is it Under Armour 360 Combine training, HIT training, Crossfit or even 5/3/1.... Nope, not because of cones or parachutes, kettlebells, Bosu balls, bands or even chains......not even chains? Nope. It has more to do with Sir Issac Newton. Sprinting Speed= How much force exerted against ground and how long that … [Read more...]
Whats Old is New….Not really, you’re just late to the party…..
June 17, 2011 by
Awesome video I got from the equally awesome Strength Performance Network. http://youtu.be/kcTBm6_K5ws That's sooooooo weird no Bosu balls, Bender balls, agility ladders or other bullshit sales pitch piece of crap, not even ZUMBA. Just REALLY strong dudes who, by the way, had excellent flexibility (without Yoga) getting strong by........... ........... lifting weights............ heavy ones............ on a barbell............ That's weird cause I thought you had to have at least 3 swiss balls for every barbell in your gym...and barbells are all old fashioned and non-functional... "But wait!"... Proclaims "Functional Training Guy"- THANK GOD, It's the … [Read more...]
Blog Neglect and bad ass Girl Squats.
March 21, 2011 by
Thats what I've practiced for 2 months now... Every time I get going again I get really busy and Mr. Mc Blog goes to the back burner. So to stave that off I'll go with some "quick hitters" in between my always thoughtful, insightlful and all around awesome blog genius. Best blog post I've read in awhile- "Trainers Wanted" from Sean Hyson. This is epic, finally someone from the "inside" tells the truth about the main stream media and fitness training. i.e. It's a giant joke/ lie and the joke is on YOU! It's worth your 2 minutes, whether you work in the field or not....probably more so if not.. Best line: "Most of these “trainers to the stars” and other TV … [Read more...]
Shelby Starnes is a Pussy…but being jacked is cool.
January 9, 2011 by
Yeah, he might be jacked: and yeah, he might have an encyclopedic knowledge of nutrition, be on the Q&A and have a log at EliteFTS.som...and yeah, he might help people get in sick shape super fast: and be really f-ing strong (just read the log).....but he's still a pussy. Here's the proof, (in regards to lat pulldowns), "I always wear straps. If that makes me a pussy, that is fine."- Lean Gain Principles pg. 33 ....proof positive Mr. Starnes you are a total puss...now turn in your man-card... Personal note: Shelby, please don't find me and pummel the shit out of me. K? Thanks. Shelby and Steve Colescott teamed up to write the Lean Gain … [Read more...]
Yoga, Jacks up knees…but it can cure cancer?? WTF!
January 6, 2011 by
Headline: Yoga bad for your knees, Indian doctor warns. -Dean Nelson. Guess what? Yoga can jack up people knees... "Dr Ashok Rajgopal says he has performed knee replacement surgery on a number of leading yoga gurus." Guess what? Over stretching a joint isn't a good thing and leads to orthopedic problems, "according to Dr Rajgopal, the extreme stretching exercises at the heart of the discipline cause severe stress on joints, leading to arthritis." Guess what? Yoga can cure HIV aids and cancer.. "Some of its most charismatic teachers, like India's Baba Ramdev, who has built a worldwide empire through television appearances, believe its breathing … [Read more...]
“I eat because I’m unhappy…I’m unhappy because I eat.”
January 3, 2011 by
Fat Bastard said it and....he was right. The people at Kaiser Permenante in San Diego have been running a weight loss clinic since 1982 which dealt mostly with the obese . After treating 30,000 patients they've made some pretty remarkable findings concerning obesity and published them in a paper titled, Obesity: Problem, Solution or Both. In short they found that obesity, "is not the core problem to be treated, any more than smoke is the core problem to be treated in house fires." Basically obese people are obese because they eat too much, yepper that whole law of thermodynamics is still holding steady..but what drives them to eat to much? NOTE: Yes, I know … [Read more...]
Creatine will make your arms EXPOLDE! (sarcasm, no they will not)
August 30, 2010 by
McMinnville High in Oregon became famous last week. 24 McMinnville football players were seen by a doctor last week with 13 being admitted to the hospital for at least one night all with symptoms of compartment syndrome. 21 of the 24 had elevated creatine kinase levels and 3 actually had the condition and needed surgery to alleviate the pressure. Read the whole story here and here. This case is very unusual and has made a lot of headlines last week. Mostly it's been used to demonize creatine supplementation (although none of the boys admitted to supplementing with creatine) and creatine hasn't been linked to an increased chance of developing compartment … [Read more...]
