Casino,Gains, the weight room, my thoughts and online coaching.


When we test our athletes at my school or I see times, heights or distances of our track athletes. Those of our athletes who are absent from after/before weightroom or chose to do their own thing like 4 days in a row of bench press(I actually have a program for that), trying to get summer ABS while still eating cafeteria food. I feel like  K. K. Ichikawa.

I am like that is great you can triple jump 40' feet but if you got a little stronger you could have been a 43' triple jumper and been a Regional Qualifier with a outside chance at state.  Because you could travel down the run way faster and been able to have more jumps in practice. Or that freshman who put both 30lbs on their power clean and bench but the kids who show up consistently added 50lbs to their lifts.  

So like K. K Ichikaea bet one thousand a hand instead of his usual thirty thousand a hand. 

Which is like when their sport coach makes them lift weights I see their results not as gains but like, K.K. Ichikaea didn't think of it as winning ten thousand, he thought of it as losing ninety thousand.

They could have gotten one/two place better at their last meet, or had broken their personal records at a faster rate, gotten to 405lb squat faster or dropped that 4.8 forty to a 4.65 instead of a 4.7. (Mass Specific Force) 

You as an athlete might/or parent might not have me or some one like me who has a certain skill set. I love strength and conditioning learning about it, applying it to athletes and helping them achieve goals and becoming the best versions of themselves. If you are interested I will have ten spots open starting in December: Email Coachrvg78@gmail.com (of course I am free of charge for any current or former student athlete at my school district.)

Track Athletes Dealing with Heat.

This comes almost right from the NSCA Strength and Conditioning Journal. The author gives a great table about pros and cons of different ways to pre-cool athletes: Mcneely, E. (2015). Practical Aspects of Precooling for Competition in the Heat.  Strength and Conditioning Journal, 37 (1), 69-73. doi:10.1519/ssc.0000000000000118 I like the idea of Ice Sluries (snow cone, Kona Ice, or a Slurpee) although there doesn't seem to be much research on power athletes using them. I would not try something new on a competition day instead try it out with practice.

Supplements High School Athletes need to stay away from.

1. Pro-hormones can alter the course of puberty and can render the athlete sterile by disrupting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.  There has been countless people who did Pro-hormones in their teens who now cannot have kids and have to go on hormone replacement therapy.  2. Pre Workout first they are loaded with caffeine and other stimulants. Caffeine over 400 mg an athlete looses a ton of salt which is very important for athletes health.  Also caffeine increases cortisol levels which is the stress hormone can cause the following: thin skin, susceptibility to bruising, high or increased blood pressure, susceptibility to infections, build-up of fat around the face, chest and abdomen, thinning of the limbs, osteoporosis (thinning of the bones) leading to bone fractures, particularly in the spine, fluid retention (oedema), and diabetes.  3. Branch Chain Amino Acids there is studies out there that cancer oxidize BCAA into glucose and will do that while it waits for you to
