    MLB Steroid Melodrama

    Like Russ, I also tried to talk myself into believing these guys were clean. But if you remember the sudden changes in their bodies you really have to reconsider. Gaining 20-30 lbs of muscle in an what amounts to a 4 month off season is virtually impossible without some "assistance". It is...

    MLB Steroid Melodrama

    The rumor in baseball circles is that the Oakland A's became the Bash Brothers because they didn't want to slap each other on the butt because they were too sore from steroid injections.

    Misc. Draft / Combine Info

    Here is an intresting excerpt from a q&a at elitefts.com which is a strength training web site. This was written by Martin Rooney who runs the Combine Preparation Program at the Parisi School (in NJ) who consistently turns out the fastest 40s of the combine (i.e. Kevin Kasper, Dunta Robinson)...

    49ers game Predictions

    I look for the team to rally behind Josh to prove to Green that he never should have been benched (at least after wins in 3/4). I also look for B. Berry and the Defense to have a big game forcing multiple turnovers by Dorsey. The offense will score on several short fields created by these TOs...

    What does McCown have to do over the next 4 games to be the guy for next year?

    He has to throw a game winning TD on the last play of the game to knock Tampa out of the wild card spot. :O

    Amazing Race 6

    Great show, My wife and I love "The Race" I also can't stand that Jonathan guy. I'm not a spousal abuse expert or anyhting but when he raised his hand in the direction of her face when he was screaming at her in the cab, it didn't look like the first time he had done that type of thing and...

    What are the 10 moments(games, drafts, wins, losses)that define you as a Cards fan?

    In no particular order: Some repeats. I have been a fan since about '96, so these are pretty recent. 1. Going to the game vs the Eagles the same day as Game 7 D-backs vs Yankees. Most depressing game ever - Eagles run opening kick-off back and the Cards never put up a fight. Smallest crowd...

    Boldin out 8-12 weeks

    A meniscus repair means he will be on crutches for at least 6 weeks (some doctors order 8 weeks) to allow for the meniscus to heal. Usually in these cases the meniscus is stitched back together and bearing weight on the knee can (before six weeks)potentially tear the stitches. I would...

    I saw Quans injury its not good

    Everybody take your Boldin jerseys you just bought and put them back in the closet. We all know all to well the "Cardinal Curse of the Jersey". I think the Cardinals should print up some Mike Stone jerseys instead.

    Q&A with the Cardinals new strength coach Steve Wetzel! Great photos too!

    I was hoping this new new guy was not another High Intensity guy! There was just an article in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that showed that High Intensity Training (HIT) is inferior to multi-set weight training for the purpose of improving strength. This is the current...

    Leonard Davis still not working out? WTH?!

    Leonard usually works out with his own guy. Last year was the only year he came in "soft"and he had off season ankle surgery did not allow him to run until shortly before camp. Don't worry about Leonard he will be fit and ready to go.

    Are Cards players willing to "Play Hurt"

    I am an athletic trainer just like Jim O's dad. There is a difference between being hurt and being injured. A torn hamstring is a severe injury for someone who makes a living trying to sprint and make quick changes of direction. A torn hamstring is not as limiting to a QB who may cover 10-15...

    FASCINATING article about David Boston

    A few other Cards players work out or have worked out with Poliquin. He is based in Tempe. He has a pretty interesting website. He also has some pretty good atricles on the site if you are into fitness / body building. Here is my attempt at putting this link into the post...

    Leonard Davis on Channel 3 this AM

    In most situations, the team doctor is not an employee of the team. The team doctor volunteers his time to the organization. In return he can A) get paid to do many of the surgical cases that arise from professional sports and B) Advertise that he is the "team physician" for the Arizona...

    Leonard Davis on Channel 3 this AM

    I saw BIG on channel 3 this AM while he was doing rehabilitation for his ankle at a local physical therapy clinic (they were doing a feature on one of the news anchors getting therapy for her shoulder). The news anchor was asking him a couple of questions. I think it was taped not live, but...

    Where is Wadsworth?

    His physical therapist was on FTB (this guy also works out "big" Terrel Davis, Jake and a bunch of other guys. He say Andre was in Vail Coloroado visiting Steadman and he was probably going to have his 11th or 12th surgeries on his knees. So, he is obviously not an option. Sad story - all...

    Is Bill Gramatica the Frank Stallone of the NFL?

    In athletic rehabilitation they have done studies and determined that the plant leg (non kicking) actually exerts more force than the kicking leg. Therefore any strength or stabilization defecit in the non kicking leg would drastically affect kicking force / distance. Athletes return from ACL...

    Bill Lewis is really mad.

    I would argue that ephedra and ephedra based products are used as performance enhancers and research proves that it can improve among other things reaction time (a valuable attribute for an NFL player). The IOC, NCAA, NHL, and NFL ban use of ephedra. Ephedra increases heart rate and blood...

    What is it with Phoenix??

    Here are some of the elite athlete training centers in the valley. The valley rivals South Florida for the number and the quality of these elite athlete training / rehabilitation centers. http://www.charlespoliquin.net - David Boston http://www.fischer-sports.com - Wadsworth...

    Off-season strength program

    I met him in Anaheim. His booth was next to the World's Stronget Man - that tall blonde guy (I forget his name) that almost rivals L. Davis's size

    Off-season strength program

    I agree Jim, no strength and conditioning program in the world will prevent those injuries. A good strength and conitioning program can recduce the number of injuries like low back injuries, muscle strains / tears (AC's triceps tendon) and non-contact ACL injuries. Rogucki's program increases...

    Off-season strength program

    I have an extensive backgroung in strength and conditioning. First of all, I believe it is important to train the way you are going to play. Football is an explosive sport, train explosively. Second of all, it is impossible to "strengthen" ligaments. Ligaments are non-contractile tissue...

    Who is your favorite current player?

    My favorite has been #75 since he body slammed that safety from the Bears during his rookie year. He is so big and has such a mean streak! Classic O-lineman!
