Sunday's Functional Path


Take 6-8" of snow. Find your shovel. Add some slushy, icy car tracks in and out of the garage from this morning. Equals one serious functional training session, a.k.a 50 minutes of continuous hell. Do it before or while the sun shines directly on the pavement. I waited too long and did not get the benefit of the sunlight to melt the remnants. Lesson learned.

I'm glad to learn someone else counts their ice/snow shoveling as a workout session. ;-) Love your site.

Snow shoveling is brutal! I grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico where it snowed alot! I have had my share of involuntary snow workouts!

It is brutal and to think I missed it because I was lifting KBs in Cincinnati. Maybe I should have stayed here....

The person staying at my house shoveled the sidewalk and the steps. I'm in the city..so,I've got a detached garage and no drive way.

Fortunately, they had the interstates clear before I started the drive home yesterday.

Snow shoveling is for the birds. I can remember how easy it was. Who can not handle snow shoveling? Only the weak would complained. How can it be hard?

Sure this is my brain is telling me prior to the shoveling shoveling shoveling that wonderful packed snow. 15 minutes into hitting that white ice pack snow, not only my legs/back/arms are crying, but my lungs were screaming and my heart wants to jump out of my body as in the movie "Aliens".

Form and Function

Way back in 2002, I scanned these images by Howard Schatz from Sports Illustrated (October 14, 2002). A fascinating array of elite female athlete physiques, heights and weights, eh? These are some of the women featured in his book Athlete --a very cool pictorial essay that celebrates athletic form and function.

The 411 on Back Angles and Torque When Squatting

The angle of the torso, when squatting, is not a function of whether or not the bar is high or low on the back. The angle of the torso (and thus torque on the spine) is primarily determined by the angle of the shin, a.k.a how much the ankle dorsiflexes. AND IN MY BOOK, THIS IS THE KEY TO BEST BACK TRAINING PRACTICES. GET IT??? MAKE YOUR QUADS, HAMS AND GLUTES DO THE WORK. If your shin is perpendicular to the floor, then your torso will incline forward to keep the CoM over your BoS, regardless of how low the bar is on your back. And your back will be forced to handle higher torque. A good, general rule of thumb, IMHO, is to keep the shins and the torso parallel, from an inclination standpoint. This could change with femur/torso length issues (tight adductors and hips in general can cause issues too), but this method is pretty good to help someone figure out whether or not they have decent ankle flexibility when squatting. And this will minimize torque on the back, as we will d...

The Right Tool For The Job

Image
Somebody referred to my bar--the Hexlite Bar--as a crutch--right in front of me.  It's not the first time someone has spoken in a negative manner of the bar right to my face.  Rippetoe told me, in front of an entire basic barbell certification class, that he thought it was worthless. I just smiled. Many in the iron game are fixated on the barbell.  They look at it as the ultimate tool to build strength; and for the weightlifting zealots, it is the tool for developing power.  Because we all know that weightlifters are the strongest and most powerful athletes, right?  So then we should train just like they do because...well maybe... not...it depends, right? Don't get me wrong.  I love weightlifting.  There are 4 different barbells in my home gym.  I enjoy training with the barbell and teaching people how to use a barbell.  It is almost a lost art in this country.  But for every technically sound, good squat, clean or power snatch in t...
