Injuries are a frustrating time for obvious reasons, but if you think that an injury means you must stop training, think again!
If for example you have a fracture in your left arm, you can certainly continue to exercise in the gym. It is important is to perform unilateral (one sided) weight training on the opposite (uninjured) side. Resistance training is a powerful stimulus for neuromuscular adaptation. These adaptations are not limited to the working muscle and have in fact been shown to result in increased strength and neural drive in a contralateral, resting muscle, resulting in the term Cross-Education Training.
People often neglect training all together while injured, this leads to loss of muscle mass and a longer recovery of the broken bone. Research has shown that cross-education training and correctly tailored exercise has not only been shown to strengthen the uninvolved side but maintain strength and sometimes even muscle mass in the injured limb. You can increase the strength of an untrained limb by up to 10% by training the opposite limb, even if the first limb is immobilized. Of course, you’ll make greater gains on the side you train but some of those benefits will transfer to the immobilized or injured limb. Gains on the untrained side will be about half those of the trained side but that’s not bad when you’re not able to train!
Today’s leg day and speed and agility day with Jack was a good one

Have your seen any of these faces before? Over the past few years I’ve had the opportunity to work with dozens of professional athletes in a variety of sports. The main sports I’ve worked with have been football, basketball and baseball, but I’ve also worked with soccer, hockey, nascar, and swimming.
What has been my favorite part about working with pro athletes? Besides watching them excel during their season it would be programming their workouts! Knowing the exact time to do certain workouts and with the correct intensity is very hard to master. Programming is something I have a keen approach to no matter if it is for a pro athlete or for a youth athlete that it just starting out.
Do I miss working with just pro athletes? Yes and No.
Yes, I miss talking to them about their season, helping them set their goals, and I miss designing their programs. No, because I was never apart of their journey until later in their athletic lives, I enjoy training youth athletes more because you get to see them grow into a great athlete.
Who is the strongest? Denico Autry (Tennessee Titans) Bench Pressed 225lbs 20 times in a row
Who is the fastest athlete? Tony Washington (WR from App State) 4.55s 40yrd dash
Who had the best vertical? Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns) 35”
