So let me say right out of the gates that I am far from an expert on rehab, injuries, the shoulder, etc. Definitely a field outside of my area of expertise. However, being someone who has periodically run into shoulder issues, as recently as the last training month, I've been doing my fair share of reading, studying, etc., in order to help myself and others out. Now of course, in addition to that, I've been seeing my chiropractor regularly for some Active Release on various relevant areas. Given that most trainees will at some point experience some kind of shoulder issue, I thought I'd summarize some of my findings on the topic and what I've done to eliminate my shoulder... read more 4 comments

The following is a tough hamstrings triplex that JC Santana calls "The Triple Threat". As a triplex implies, it's a combination of three exercises with minimal rest. Given that each movement easily and smoothly transfers right into the next movement it's a rather 'user friendly' set up.

I remember one time I was on the treadmill and there was a guy about three treadmills down running. This girl was just watching him. Staning on an ellliptical, completely motionless, watching him run. I figured she must know him and is just waiting for the... read more 5 comments

So I'm at the gym last night, done chest and hitting the tail end of my higher rep leg work, when what do I see as I come up to the next piece of equipment that I need? A guy drinking a PEPSI! A PEPSI during his workout. :lol: I had to do a double take on that one. Figured I'd give a sample of last night's chest work. Incline DB Press - 4x6 w/ 95s Flat DB Flies - 3x6 w/ 60s Incline Bench Press - 3x8,6,6 w/ 205lbs Flat DB Press - 3x8,7,6 w/ 75s And I'm spent! :lol: After this workout I headed home where I had a massage appointment (a friend of ours is an RMT and she just brings her... read more 15 comments
