New websites added

Just came across two new websites and added them to links. Looking for a different type of workout? Then go to Josh Henkins and his sandbag training site. Keep track of his blog and you will encounter many new ways to incorporate sandbags into your training. Want to increase your Vertical jump? Take a look at Jon Hinds (Madison, WI) website, go to articles and look for the vertical jump post. In this article there is a free E-Book download, which includes an 8 week program to increase vertical jump. As you look for info on these two websites, it is easy to access many other sites and articles for more information and some new ideas about training.

Testing begins for our morning weightlifting group on Monday. We have been using a 4 week foundation program and after the Christmas vacation, we start the next phase, GROWTH. We have also been using the BFS Dot Drill and are seeing good results. We used this drill many years ago with great results, but for some dumb reason forgot about it as time passed. As Vern Gambetta always mentions, sometimes you just have to revisit the past.

Have a great Holiday Season!

New Website added

Just updated the sidebar of websites and added a new one. XLathlete.com is full of all kind of information about lifting, running, plyometrics, quickness, speed ... etc. and has short video footage showing whatever you pick out to view. Also many articles to look at. All you have to do is sign up (free).
