Monday – bench 355 x 6

Clean grip snatch worked up to 239 x 1
Box jumps worked up to an easy 42″ x 5 with minimal knee tuck. I need a much bigger box.

Why Most Speed And Agility Camps Don’t Work

Every off season, parents come up to me and ask, “Do you have a speed camp going on right now.”  My answer, “No.”  They’re usually pretty surprised by that answer.  The reason we don’t do them is simple.  Most of them don’t work.

There are a couple of reasons why most of them don’t work.  The first being that training should be a constant thing.  It’s not something you pick up for four or six weeks during the offseason and then put it down till next season.  When we’re talking about things like running mechanics, the only way to get good and stay good at them is through repetition.  I’ve seen it many times.  I’ll work with a kid till their season starts; then they come back afterwards and they are back to their same bad, slow habits.  Perfect practice makes perfect.

1/5/2012 Jason Nunn Correctives and Deadlift

This week, I wasn’t sure of what the IFAST folks were going to do with me, so I didn’t do anything important.  Today and just wanted to go through my entire corrective protocol and hit some heavy singles to see where I was.  Here’s how it went:
Foam Roll/Tennis Ball (I’ll be picking up a lacrosse ball this week)

Plantar Fascia

Calves

Pecs

Lats

T-Spine

Glutes/IT Band

Quads

Right Adductor
Dynamic Warm Up
Deadlift 275 x 5

335 x 5

425 x 3

515 x 1

605 x 1 – added belt

655 x 1

705 x 1 -pretty smooth

705 x 1 – grinder
One Arm Press x 10/Chins x 10

80lbs/bodyweight (264)
I was kindof suprised at how easy 705 went up while basically taking three weeks off.  It’ll be fun to see where this ends up.

Top 10 things Learned And Achieved For 2011

Yesterday, I received an email from one of my clients that I thought I would share with everyone.  I thought it was pretty cool.  She put together a list of things she learned and achieved over the course of the year while working out with us.  Here’s her list:

1. Designating 4 specific days and times at the gym is more effective than saying I’ll go 4 days a week.

2. I have kept 90% of my training appointments in the past year.

3. I have trained a minimum of 3 sessions per week for 13 months now, the longest workout streak of my life.

4. The number on the scale is my daily FYI, fluctuating often and therefore, no longer makes or breaks me.

5. I look forward to working out.

Top Ten Of 2011

Yep, it’s that time of year again.  At the end of each year, I go back and review which of my posts got the most web traffic.  Here’s this year’s top ten:

1.  Does Muscle Fiber Type Effect Performance  In this post I talk about the differences in muscle fiber type and how it affects an athlete’s performance.

2.  The John Broz Method One of the more popular topics in the strength training world in 2010 was the training that John Broz does in his Las Vegas gym.  This post discusses my opinions on what he does.

3.  The Real Reasons Why People Don’t Exercise  The name says it all.  These are the reasons why people don’t workout.

4.  Is A Calorie Really A Calorie? In this post, I discuss some of the myths about nutrition.

5.  Spot Reduction Revisited  In this article, I talk about a T-Nation article on spot reduction.
