Coaching Logs

Cruise week.

Stick around a little while and you will see the shooting stars of the sport come and go. These are the lifters who go big, win big and burn out even bigger. Stick around for a little while longer in the sport and you will see the shooting stars come and go, over and over and over again. They just don’t last as their bodies can’t put up with the non-self-regulating abuse that is put upon them. Stick around a few decades and you will also note the longevity of the truly great lifters, the longevity of lifters like Dave Ricks, Ed Coan, Brian Schwab and Sioux-z’ of the world (all with 2+ decades in the competitive game at the top of their weight class and federation). What is an essential ingredient to their longevity and success???? SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE.

A little bit of recovery work
