    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    I agree that individuals need to think foremost of their own progress and not allow their bodies pay the price for their ego. All the more reason for a coach to be in control and set the tone for things. Partly a very good reason to avoid strength charts. There are levels of competence in...

    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    As long as the paradigm is characterized by 'exercise' rather than movement skills and ability then there will not be a change in it. As soon as the discourse shifts to considerations of correct and incorrect then the issue of safety arises where it need not. There is no correct or incorrect...

    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    Its hard to say whom is to blame really. Its so far gone that no one party is totally responsible. The S&C coaches come from the same education models as the rest of the industry and they were born of what are likely their own personal experiences with growing up in the sport (most would be...

    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    Latest edition of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning JASC Sept 2010 (Vol 18, Issue 3)has a submission on 'Comparing the speed and strength-related physical qualities of NRL and QLD Cup Rugby League Players (wingers and centers)' The sample size of the testing is so small (20 subjects in...

    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    To the contrary, I understand completely the problem you are concerned about. The point I am making is to do with how one can defend one's self against all ignorance. I make equal amount of business from the 'shut up and lift' crowd as I do the 'but mum said lifting weights will stunt my...

    The Triple Extension.

    Not to try to sound too flippant but I think you have no choice. The jerk phase is a jump. Like all jumps it needs triple extension appropriate to the desired outcome and it is preceded by flexion. The olympic lifts have a too much/too little tightrope of force and timing. There's extending at...

    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    I cant resist the tangent in this thread about science. It seems science, which I would define as a method of knowledge, has been characterized as kin to the layer apon layer of quackery, pseudo-science, clever marketing and capitalization on the natural human trait of looking for a quick fix...

    Strength & Conditioning for footballers

    We dont have very good development models in Australia for developing our football codes in my opinion. The models seem to be more attritional rather than developmental. It doesnt seem like there is a strategy to make everyone better; more so many many games and practices are conducted with the...

    Sydney Powerlifting Comp

    Weigh in from 8.30am, gym will probably be open from 8am. Shire Speed and Strength is at 84 Captain Cook Drive, Caringbah. The comp is an unsanctioned Powerlifting meet under WPC rules. Equipped and Raw, all comers encouraged. Right now there is about 14 lifters involved and I think all but 2...

    Talking to my judge here today, if you bring your own SSB then you can use it.

    Sydney Powerlifting Comp

    Yes its true. We will be hosting an inaugural Powerlifting comp on Sunday October 3rd. This is an unsanctioned comp and will hopefully serve as a great initiative for powerlifting in my area to develop. The competition is open to equipped and raw competitors, single lifters and push-pullers...

    Correct lifting

    There are several tangents deserving of their own thread from this original post. Going in reverse order.... 'the mirrors'... The problem I think people encounter with mirrors is that they are sending back data to you regarding the frontal plane (side to side movement, abd-adduction) where not...

    Strength and Conditioning Centre Canberra.

    Shorty can high pull over 100kg but his upper body flexibility is only going to let him catch something a lot less than that right now. Or else its going to be a very ugly lift that totally burns the wrists. Are you going to get some film going of the event, PTC?

    Strength and Conditioning Centre Canberra.

    Hey PTC, I think Raymond is going to improve on his power clean 1RM at the comp. I can't comment on his other lifts right now but we spent a lot of time on saturday working on his high pull in the clean. He's got some flexibility issues that are going to take some time to come around in the...
