Prison Break Tue, 30 Dec 2008 08:43:42
Today’s workout: Max Effort Squat (suggestion: box squat with bands). Combo Catch o’ the Day: Carrie. See the combo somewhere in this video: Prison Break I’m sure we all remember our first prison; what we wore, our giddiness, the girl we went with. My first prison experience was a delight. I was decked out in all black, although the guards were a bit leery that I was in shorts. My ‘date’ was friend-of-Bodytribe Patti Pinkerton, who has created a (literally) life-saving diet and exerci
SWAGRICULTURE WATCH Mon, 22 Dec 2008 08:56:55
FOX runs down the swag you get in bowl games, and let us take this opportunity to state that the Poinsettia Bowl, much maligned though you may be for being sponsored by a Credit Union and sporting a poisonous plant as your emblem, thou dost swag well. TCU and Boise State players will each receive an iPod Touch as part of their loot for playing in the bowl, a far step up from the “complimentary bowl watch and goodie bag” most bowls COUGH COUGH NEWORLEANSBOWL COUGH offer their participants. “

Hello Ride-Strong readers, My name is Kathryn Bertine, and I’m a pro cyclist living and training in Tucson…only I happen to be in the Caribbean at the moment. How I got here is a bit of a long story, but here’s the condensed version: Two years ago, ESPN hired me to write about my two-year attempt to make it to the Beijing Olympics. Alas, I didn’t make it. But here’s the cool part; I didn’t exactly fail. The experiences along the way made for an incredible journey, with unbelievable races, pe

Last Saturday I participated in the 2008 Colorado Springs Christmas Parade. There were 45 total athletes from the Olympic Training Center that participated as well as many many other floats and groups from Colorado Springs. We were honored enough to have Lopez Lomar who you may remember carrying the American flag at opening ceremonies leading Team USA. Lopez yet again lead our group of athletes by carrying the American Flag in front of the supportive community of Colorado Springs. We had a grea

In some ways it would be so easy if it was just about teaching the Olympic lifts and centering training on those two lifts and derivative movements. So simple, yet oh so boring, but beyond boring it would be flat out wrong, it is a narrow perspective on training in general and strength training in particular. Olympic lifting movements are part of a bigger picture, but what we have going is a sheep walking phenomenon where this is preached as the “way’ by certifying organizations. I expected to
Latest Bad Genetic Testing Idea Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:34:36
From the New York Times: Sports May Be Child’s Play, but Genetic Testing Is Not: Born to Run? Little Ones Get Test for Sports Gene By JULIET MACUR BOULDER, Colo.–When Donna Campiglia learned recently that a genetic test might be able to determine which sports suit the talents of her 2 ½-year-old son, Noah, she instantly said, Where can I get it and how much does it cost? “I could see how some people might think the test would pigeonhole your child into doing fewer sports or being exposed to f
28 seconds for Sakic Fri, 28 Nov 2008 14:14:21
That’s how long Joe Sakic lasted in today’s game with the Coyotes. He took one shift - 28 seconds - before shutting it down for the day because his back was bad. This is obviously a red-siren, MAJOR setback for Cap and the Avs. He has, in essense, missed eight of the last nine games now. He has yet to play a full game in any of the three he’s allegedly been healthy enough to play in those last nine. This is serious. A bad back can very often mean the end of a player’s career. Knowing the Ava
