Re: General Gym Observations

A soccer player for ManUtd had a wretched few years with injury and is now a free agent. He released a series of videos of him "working out" to youtube in order to attract a new club.

A couple of gems:

At least he didn't get his agent to make a glossy brochure about him:

That stuff with the tiny dumbells and the band is very legitimate shoulder rehab/prehab stuff. That said, he's a genetic freak and is a success in spite of his workouts. He would benefit from doing heavy stuff instead of/in addition to all that stability & core crap.

yeah, the medicine ball dribble against the wall is legit for shoulder work too. I guess all that stuff is legit, but aside from the sled work, none of it really builds much strength.

Re: General Gym Observations

My discus/shot put athlete is at Bates College in Maine (NESCAC). He saw the football players' lifts on their board. He is the third strongest squatter.

He is 16 years old.
