Addressing Shoulder and Arm Care in the Overhead Athlete, Softball.

As is the case for any overhead athlete, the more you use your arms the more likely you will to incur injury.  A few simple changes will help to reduce your chances of injury.  Most softball players who want to improve on a skill will seek out the help of a coach in the area to improve on mechanics.  An even smaller number–ironically–will seek strength and conditioning or sports performance.…

Been a while since I have posted. Today I got after it with some conventional deadlifts, hip thrusts, landline presses, and push ups. I love me some loaded hip thrusts, here’s 585 for a triple #youngperformance #strengthandconditioning #glutes #posteriorchain #hipthrusters @completeathletenh (at Complete Athlete Sports Performance Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzboPfqFp-m/?igshid=ud70xpxi2evv

Are You Training or Trending?

Are You Training or Trending?

I’ve asked my good friend and fellow strength and conditioning coach to help me out with some writer’s block.  Jonathan Carroll and I go back a little ways to the glory days of interning at MBSC.  Since then, we have stayed in touch and attended a few different continuing ed events together.  He has since moved to Raleigh, North Carolina and is now co-owner of The Movement Lab Raleigh.  If you…

When you had surgery on one shoulder you can still train around it. 1 arm racked split squats, 1 arm pulldown, 1 arm cable reverse lunge, 1 arm incline db bench #youngperformance #bridgetoliftingagain #strengthandconditioning #gymstuff https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsaF5BlgOI/?igshid=b8w0wrtip6ud

So this was seriously the game net we were given Saturday. When the ground crew came out they said that was the net they in fact used in a JV game the day prior and refused to repair said net. Either those JV teams had some cannons or the ground crew in Malden was extremely lazy.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little “extra”. Sorry the punny statement but it is truth. AlphaCRE and squats for the day eventually squeezing out a sloppy 395 #youngperformance #squats #iam1stphorm #thatsalottadiscs https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVVIqQF6eA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7qzh3lwzs1zw

Is Stretching Beneficial Prior to Working Out?

Is Stretching Beneficial Prior to Working Out?

In a way this article title is a loaded question.  Over the years, there have been a number of different theories regarding the type of stretching you should do prior to and after exercise whether it was aerobic or resistance training.  Hopefully I can better explain what I use in my methods and why.

Static Stretching

In a nutshell, static stretching is simply trying to isolate a muscle group and…

In the programs I write I generally include both static and dynamic stretching prior to movement and lifting. Static stretching to open up the areas that are usually locked up with our generally seated, non active lifestyle and dynamic to increase core temperature as well as mimic movement for the day. #youngperformance #strengthandconditioning #sportsperformance #stretching #staticstretch #dynamicwarmup #dontwannapullahammie https://www.instagram.com/p/BusI9cklFRC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dnb77dflxqly

CBD oil case study

CBD oil case study

One of the new trends lately is CBD oil which is a derivative of the cannabis plant that most people associate with marijuana.  If you look closely on the shelves of some of your grocery stores or even your favorite coffee shop you will find CBD infused items all over the place.  Curiosity got the cat, so I will try.

CBD is traditionally used to help people with certain DSM diagnoses that will…

Thoughts on Olympic Cleans

Thoughts on Olympic Cleans

There are plenty of ways to coach and teach the clean and for a variety of different reasons.  What I mean is that you have the hang clean, power clean, olympic clean, etc as well as different grip options, lead up options, and accessory exercises.  That’s a lot to consider when planning how to develop power in a particular individual.  Here I’ll try and talk my way through the thought process I…

Skmetjmes you have to change the tools to get a optimal outcome. Not everyone is designed to do the same thing. Optimize the movement to continue to see progress instead of injury #youngperformance #deadlifts #thinksmarternotharder #notallbuiltthesame https://www.instagram.com/p/BsyVPMPFvOC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13pk97nubbc5c
