A Reaction to “Dirty Little Secrets of the Single Leg Training Craze”
Michael Boyle's Strengthcoach.com Blog
by mboyle1959
3y ago
If you haven’t read this article, Dirty Secrets of the Single Leg Training Craze, don’t bother to continue. I can promise that the things I’m about to say won’t make much sense. First off, let’s try to set the parameters of the discussion. No real strength coach, me included, is telling anyone to do only single leg exercises all the time. Therefore the premise of the entire article changes. There really are no “dirty secrets”. What I have said and written is that for higher level athletes, we have found unilateral knee dominant movements to be not only safer but more effective. We continue to ..read more

Complete Core Questions

I’ve been getting some great questions from viewers of Complete Core and, figured the best way to answer was via a blog post. 1. Recently I was in a seminar by a good physiotherapist. She told us that we can’t make the little core muscles stronger (i.e. multifidus) like the big ones (i.e. rectus abdominis, oblique). But we can make them more skillfull, so they could know when to swicth on and off. That is what she called stability. And she said it is a great way to use unstabile surfaces like big balls. For example lie on a big ball with the stomach and raise the left leg and right arm. In the ..read more

The Best Foam Roller Yet?

We all know that foam rolling is big. Big enough to even get the internet experts to start writing stupid articles about foam rolling being bad for you. ( just an aside, how can something that feels so good be bad for you?) So, the guys at Rollga have reinvented the foam roller. I know, I didn’t believe it either. They grabbed me at the Perform Better Summit in Providence with the old “do you have 30 seconds” pitch. Thankfully, I was smart enough to stop. At the end of much longer than thirty seconds I was both happy and sad. Happy because I had found a new product that worked better than the ..read more

Bred to Be a Superstar?

This is a tough topic to cover and, I’m sure both Todd Marinovich and his father may not appreciate my using them as the “what not to do” example but the articles below serve as stark reminders of what could happen when disrupting the normal child development process. The following is from a 1988 Sports Illustrated article on then high school phenom Todd Marinovich: “Marinovich wasAmerica’s first test-tube athlete. He has never eaten a Big Mac or an Oreo or a Ding Dong. When he went to birthday parties as a kid, he would take his own cake and ice cream to avoid sugar and refined white flour ..read more

I get a lot of great questions from the readers of  New Functional Training for Sports. I got a bunch about youth performance training and thought I’d combine a few into one blog post. Q-  I would really like your professional opinion on “youth”performance training. Two years ago, my son (age 8) attended a football camp where professional trainers gave a presentation about year around position specific training and sports performance training. They said something that stuck with me, explaining that  “research shows that a kid learns how to run fast by ag ..read more

Complete Sports Conditioning Questions

I’ve been getting a couple of pretty consistent questions from my Complete Sports Conditioning product so, I figured a blog post might reach more people. Q- You said in the lecture that heart rate based conditioning may be superior to time based conditioning when performing intervals. On paper that sounds good, but the video demonstrated some of the flaws of a heart rate based system? A- I guess my question back would be “does the demonstration illustrate the flaws of time based training or the flaws of heart rate based training” ?  What people are seeing in the video demo’s is that one g ..read more
