@troymezz is that the view from your front porch?

In a divided society where bullying festers among our children, echoing the failures of their parents, we must choose courage over silence. True heroes—often the smallest among us—step in when adults won’t, protecting the vulnerable and confronting cruelty head-on. Teach your children this: never start a fight, but always finish one to defend the innocent. Stand up, speak out, and break the cycle—because bullies don’t just harm today; they poison tomorrow. Be the protector. Be the change.

🟥 WOW... 🇬🇱🇩🇰

The lyrics of this new “Greenland Defense Front” video. 👌🏼

Just - WOW.
‘Epic’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Maria Shriver obviously comes from a very political family and has supported candidates for office, like her now-former husband Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama, but for the most part she has always chosen to focus on storytelling and journalism.

She has clearly hit her limit and has just posted this video about President Trump’s post and comment about Rob Reiner.

Great way to honor those ball players that missed the field of play due to Covid.

Bench Press for Throwers?

I don’t think bench press is the root of all evil, but I do believe there are better choices for overhead athletes, namely if you throw a lot.

Why?

1. We need the shoulder blade to be active into upward rotation and protraction during the throwing motion. Bench press reinforces the opposite of these. Good bench press set up= shoulder blades together and down. Lat dominant chronic changes are very present in these populations and bench pressing only makes things worse. I want to train pressing strength in a way that also trains the shoulder blade to move with the upper arm reinforcing ball and socket congruency in addition to helping facilitate good thoracic rotation.

2. SAID principle- as coaches, we often just think about what adaptations we want to create from training. We usually don’t think about what adaptations have occurred to the body do to the unique imposed demands of sport. Here, repetitive throwing over a long period of time creates changes to the spine, hips, shoulder, and elbow. These don’t pair well with large approximation force on a shoulder that’s already tight in the back with heavy stress across pec without free scapular movement all occurring in global spinal extension.

3. Strength is definitely a precursor to power, but I don’t think throwing a football (a largely rotational power endeavor) is going to gain much from a sagittal plane strength movement such as the bench press. Remember- The only athletes that must have *bench* pressing strength are competitive powerlifters.

4. I want to incorporate as much thoracic rotation into our pressing and rowing variations as possible, especially in our standing variations that have more ground reaction forces. The bench press doesn’t allow this.

French contrast training does not have to be complicated and is a great method to improve athleticism

Essentially… pick 4 exercises of similar patterns.

1) Heavier compound lift
2) force oriented plyo
3) speed-strength movement
4) Speed oriented/accelerated plyo
