The Illusion Of Specificity…

The Illusion Of Specificity…

With all the sports performance tests such as the NFL combine along with an array of other specific performance tests for other sports on the training front I decided to dive into a little bit of a different topic today. Oh and in case you don’t know who that is pictured above it is the great Harry Houdini.

Of course, this is assuming that whatever user decided to post this pic didn’t for some strange reason decide to remove it from the internet causing Houdini to disappear from this post. ;-)Anyways, today I want to dive into the topic of specificity as it relates to your training and how at times this concept can cause a bit of an illusion when talking about the art of strength and conditioning.

Protecting Your Shoulders When Lifting…

Protecting Your Shoulders When Lifting…

In today’s blogisode I’m expanding on an important element of strength training involving the protection of your shoulders. Yes, I’m acting like your shoulder guard. The key to lifting anything is making sure you lift it well! Today, I’m actually talking about how you can lift well and in the process ensure that your shoulders don’t blow out like a couple of tires on a race car that just hit the wall doing 200 mph! Ok maybe the risk isn’t that high, but you get where I’m coming from.

Skills That Pay The Bills by dulk

So the other day I had a couple of newbies to come into one of my classes for the very first time and with me everyone gets evaluated on day 1. I brought them in and in the usual order of things immediately started working on walking them through my series of dynamic warm ups, the conditioning phase, and then ultimately I had a look at how well they could squat, deadlift, and just move in general. During this process I got some interesting looks from the trainees as I started them in on this approach. I could tell this was a completely new experience for them!

Speed Strength…The Competition Killer!

Speed Strength…The Competition Killer!

Speed by lokiv7

I find it interesting that every puffy chest with an i-pod shuffle, or whatever that damn device is called, seems to be the “expert” trainer or strength coach in many athletic and fitness environments. I mean when you get sick you go to the doctor, if you need the brakes fixed on your car you hire a automotive technician, and if you have to defend yourself in court you get a lawyer. Now having said all of this it still amazes me that there are still folks that are either serious about competing or getting in shape and continue to believe that they can master the development and implementation of their own strength and conditioning program.

I mean how is hiring professional help with your strength program any different than any of those other services I just mentioned especially if you have an important need for it? This is even more true when examining the development of speed strength when looking at what you should be working on to compete in a sport.
