It really is proof that a blog site centered around athleticism can work and can provide a wonderful outlet for the exchange of information. Since I wrote this article from a "pre"-habilitation point of view, perhaps the most critical part of the article is in the "Final Thoughts" section. If you can adjust your exercises to include stability, do so. Squat instead of Leg Press, or better do lunges or step-ups. The more "free" the weight, the more you will challenge the muscles in a useful manner, as the article which Hardly cites exbounds upon. You don't see the big bodybuilders doing a bicep curl machine, you see them curling free weights (this is an isolation exercise, but not so much as a machine, we want to stay on exercises which use major groups). However, don't go overboard! Remember the SAID principle (Specific Adaptations to Implied Demands). Your body can be very strong in some ways, and very surprisingly weak in others. You may be able to perform a military press with 150 pounds, but don't expect to jerk a 20kg kettle bell over your head without risking serious injury! Your body will be strong enough to perform the lift, yes, but you need to build those stabilizers. Same goes for most plyometric exercises (go watch the local track team practice and you will see them leaping onto and off of large boxes, or watch boxers and wrestlers toss 12 pound medicine balls back and forth like they are playing basketball), you need to develop the stability to just handle these exercises first, but after you do you can get a whopping boost in performance from them. As a general rule, try to make your gym time more "free" (more stability challenging) than your actual sport. I look forward to writing another advice article and your feedback!
