A Brand New Way to Deadlift by by Joel Seedman, PhD

A Brand New Way to Deadlift

Deadlift more. Deadlift better. Pull with the strongest, safest, and most efficient biomechanics. Here's how.

by Joel Seedman, PhD

1. There's now a third style of deadlift: the squat-stance deadlift. This style combines the best elements of conventional and sumo.
2. The squat-stance deadlift has no sticking point. Unlike the other two styles of deadlift, it has even tension throughout.
3. This deadlift style has incredible transfer – squat to deadlift and deadlift to squat. Each time you train one, you're training the other.
4. The squat-stance deadlift is therapeutic. It promotes optimal movement while helping to eliminate dysfunction.
5. It works for everyone. Most athletes who try this method will adopt it as their go-to deadlift technique.

The 5 Healthiest Types Of Rice by Matthew Kadey, MS, RD

Rice is an ancient staple for billions of the planet's modern denizens, but it has come under attack in recent decades. First came the low-carb craze, which considered eating rice an express ticket to Pudgeville. Now the upswing in Paleo eating has spurred a new generation of rice bashers into full gallop.

Black Knight Volleyball Keeps on Rollin!

Black Knight Volleyball Keeps on Rollin! Article and pix from The Stamford Advocate

TRUMBULL — After Stamford High’s 3-0 victory over Amity in the Class LL state volleyball semifinals, coach Mike Smeriglio was asked to describe his feelings.

“This,” he said after the 25-16, 25-20, 25-22 win Wednesday at Trumbull High, “is Iowa.”

Smeriglio was paraphrasing the famous line in the movie “Field of Dreams.” But if the third-seed Black Knights really want to feel as if they are in heaven, they will have to beat No. 4 Ridgefield, which defeated top-seed Greenwich 3-2 Wednesday, in Saturday’s state championship at 4 p.m. in East Haven....

Wow. Squated with 225 on the back "ATG" for the first time in a year.

Finally able to demo ATG Squat. Easy 225's this morning to test the neck out. Like a BEAST. Let's GO! Tired of just talking about it, able to BE about it again. Appreciate good health people and make hay when the sun is shining.

Athletic Stance: Proper Form and Posture When Lifting by madmuscle.com

Athletic Stance: Proper Form and Posture When Lifting

The Athletic Stance

Every sport uses a slightly varied version of this “athletic stance” for instance basketball has what they call the triple threat. They have to keep their back arched, and knees bent, in order to keep their options open to shoot, pass, or attack the basket.

In weightlifting we do it to maximize our lift, help us maintain proper form, and prevent injury.

1. Always Keep Your Head Straight

– Keeping your head straight helps you keep your body aligned, symmetrical and structurally strong. It prevents the rounding your back, avoids neck strains, and other strains or injuries caused by looking around and not paying attention to what you are doing.

In gymnastics they teach you to look the direction that you want to go. So if you are doing a backflip, you look behind you. If you are doing a 360 you look to the left (assuming that’s the direction you will begin rotation).

In weightlifting you want to keep your back neutrally arched at all times and looking up or straight eye level helps you achieve this. NEVER look to the side when lifting because chances are during a lift you are not moving laterally. Yes on deadlift believe it or not you want to keep your back at a neutral arch, and just because the pro’s do it with a rounded back doesn’t mean you should.

2. Pinch Your Shoulder Blades, Chest Up...
