[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 875555, member: 265"] You all may remember what I've had to say about this before. But this article was an eyeopener for me too. All I had to do to know that the Oregon guy was.a snowbird was to see the term "up-downs". This particular exercise is not only useless, but downright dangerous. Nobody with an "exercise science" degree would use it. (Well … [I]should[/I] use it.) As the article points out, the main qualifications for strength coaches are in about the same state as Georgia's qualifications for fortune tellers. (We still do that, btw.) Something needs to be done about this, but the research on building human strength is in its infancy. When we get better data, we might get better strength training. Now, you think the article's scary? Think about strength training in[I] high school[/I]. Where, I might add, the prospects for long term damage are much greater. [/QUOTE]
