Strength Coach Shoulder Compilation and On-Ice (Hockey) Conditioning Plan

Shoulder Compilation

Michael Boyle - 

In our article compilations we've covered hips, hamstrings and core training so, to keep the ball rolling, I've added a shoulder compilation. Available free to StrengthCoach.com members....

Eric Cressey- Shoulder Savers Part 1- this might be one of my favorites from Eric. I think as Eric has learned more he has gone into greater detail but after re-reading this, most of the info still resonates with me.

Eric Cressey- Shoulder Savers Part 2- much like part 1, this 12+ year old article is still pretty good. I'll be more than happy to add some additional links if people can link me to better stuff?

Andrew Paul- Strength Coaches Guide to Shoulder Training - I don't love the exercise choices ( a few are outdated ) but, the long anatomy section makes this 60 page ebook worth it. Just read it with a grain of salt.

Charlie Weingroff on the Podcast- this is a Strengthcoach Classic Episode that has Charlie going into some progressive ideas for shoulder rehab. A must listen or a must re-listen.

On-Ice (Hockey) Conditioning Plan

Joel Jackson

I put together this on-ice conditioning plan for the coaching staff of both teams that I work with here at the University of Alberta.

What I was finding to be one of the main problems here was with the injured guys. For example we currently have a player that underwent surgery for a broken finger. He is obviously unable to take contact and do much skill work, but still is able to skate at a high intensity. What this turns into is him getting onto the ice for the tail end of practice and one of the coaches sh*+ bagging him for 15 minutes. My purpose is to try and educate them on how important rest periods are for the intended purpose of the conditioning, whether it is with an injured guy or just general conditioning for the team. 

This will be a bit of a work in progress for me so I am sure I will add to, change things, etc over the coming month/years, but thought I would share it with you guys either way.

What Foods Cause Constipation, Really?

By: Wan Yi

There are too many foods labeled as "constipating" by different conflicting theories. This article discusses eight categories of examples, briefly: 1. Foods stripped of their dietary fiber. Examples: wheat and rice polished to sparkling whiteness. Fruits that are processed into meltingly sweet drinks. This theory is favored by the mainstream medical community. 2. Foods containing dietary fiber eaten excessively. This is propounded by people who do not believe in the lack of dietary fiber as a cause of constipation. Human carnivores would love this theory. 3. Foods containing opioid peptides. Examples are wheat - again, and milk therefore dairy products. Cancer patients who need to rely on opioid pain killers experience constipation as a prominent side effect which is very difficult to relieve even by prescriptive laxatives and stool softeners. 4. Foods containing beta-carbolines. Cooking and processing food produces beta-carbolines. People who believe in this theory would think that cooked meat and vegetables can make them constipated. What is left for them to eat is raw fruits, meat and eggs. 5. Foods taken excessively at the wrong time. For example: taken in moderation, banana promotes bowel movements; taken excessively, banana is constipating. Some mothers who give more bananas than their babies could handle would know this. It is even said that women can become temporarily constipated when they eat bananas during late nights. Too much snacks and later super can confuse the biological clock to the extend it doesn't know when to "let go". 6. Beef. People who think opioid peptides and beta carbolines are constipating believe fresh raw beef relieves constipation. To be pragmatic though, only hunters and butchers can obtain such freshness. That's why there are people who believe raw or rare beef may contain parasites that can cause constipation. On the other extreme, well-done beef is hard on the digestion. Beef is better served medium or medium rare. 7. Wine. In the West, wine helps to digest the notoriously constipating cheese. In the East, wine is frowned upon by traditional Chinese medicine when a constipation sufferer has the following symptoms: dry stools, little amount of urination which is dark, abdominal distention with tenderness, flushed cheeks, preference for cold drinks to quench thirst, bad breath, vexation, feverish, red tongue with yellow and dry fur plus rapid pulse. To a Chinese physician, this is accumulation of heat in the stomach and intestines, a possible consequence of boozing and greasy food. This heat impairs circulation of body fluid, drying up the intestines and resulting in constipation. Wine is said to aggravate the symptoms. 8. Unusual Chinese theories : eel, dog and snake meat can worsen the constipation of a patient with too much accumulated heat as stated above. Other offensive foods are: garlic, onion, mustard, pomegranate, apricot, cherry and coconut. There are many caveats to the above list of foods that are said to cause constipation. What is constipating to one person may not affect another person. Individual health condition must be taken into consideration; while majority would agree on most of the foods mentioned here, a patient of celiac disease would them to be a cause of the opposite effect, diarrhea. By the way , these are definitely not suggestions for a person who is having diarrhea. Overall, a discussion of constipating foods helps to highlight the fact that eating right to suit personal needs is a science by itself.

Excuses ExcusesAdapted from the resource Battlefield of the Mind Devotional - by Joyce MeyerMoses made excuses when God called him to service. He said he wasn’t eloquent enough and could not speak (see Exodus 4:10).

Felix made excuses when Paul was speaking to him about righteousness and self-control. He essentially said, “Right now is an inconvenient time. Can you come back later?” (see Acts 24:25).

When God invites people into relationship with Him, many people come up with excuses when the truth is they simply don’t want to make the sacrifices required to follow Him. Even among those who are believers in Jesus, we still hear ample excuses for not serving Him fully.

It is time to deal with excuses and start speaking truth. There is one truth none of us will be able to avoid: The day will come when every person will stand before God and give an account of his or her life (see Romans 14:12 On that day there will be no excuses!

Prayer Starter:Prayer Starter: Father, I want to love and serve You wholeheartedly without making excuses. Draw me closer to You and help me to step out into all that You have for my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Let Peace Rule

Gloria Copeland

And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from the Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds.... And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always.]

Colossians 3:15, The Amplified Bible

Have you been praying that God will let you know whether a certain action you want to take is agreeable to His will or not? Let this peace of Christ be your guide. Let it help you settle the issue. If you start to take that action and you realize you don't have peace about it, don't do it.

Remember, though, that this inner leading of the Holy Spirit, this subtle sense of uneasiness or peace He gives you, is something you have to watch and listen for carefully. He generally won't just come up and knock you out of bed one morning and tell you what you need to do. The primary way He speaks to you is by what the Bible calls an inward witness.

So, you have to listen. You can't just stay busy about the things of the world all the time. You have to give Him time and attention.

Also, watch out for strife. If you're irritated and upset about things in your life, it will be very hard to receive that quiet guidance from the Holy Spirit. So take heed to the instructions at the end of this scripture and "be thankful... appreciative, giving praise to God always." Maintain a thankful, grateful heart. You'll find it much easier to hear the "umpire of peace" when He makes a call.

HitchFit- Fit and Fabulous at 47!

I am so proud of my Fit and Fabulous at 47 online client Jen! I guess the best word to describe her Hitch Fit Bikini Model Plan transformation is WOW! Jen has been following Hitch Fit for several years after seeing her friend Stacie achieve amazing results with us. In 2018, she decided it was time to commit and get in the best shape of her life. Well, she crushed it!! Surpassing her goals and showing what is possible. So ladies who are over 40 and think that change can’t be made. Think again!! It can. And you can literally get in the best shape of your life after 40. Jen cut her body fat in half during her 16 week plan (from 31% to 15%!) and lost nearly 30 pounds. She also became a runner, something she didn’t think would happen! Way to go Jen!! What an inspiration!!

Jen’s Before and After Fit over 40 Stats: 

Starting weight: 139.5

Ending weight: 110

Starting body fat: 31%

Ending body fat: 15.7%

Inches lost on Hips: 6.25

Jen’s Story and Hitch Fit Online Personal Training Review:

“For the past couple of years I had an activity almost every night of the week (tennis,pilates, pickleball) and then I got tennis elbow and my tennis went from 4 days/week to zero.  So now I had all this free time and knew it was finally time to take the plunge.  A friend, Stacie, had completed a Hitch Fit program 5 years ago with amazing (like “shredded” amazing) results, and ever since I’ve read the success story emails and contemplated signing up.  I was finally ready, had the time, out of excuses, and mentally ready to commit 100%.  I signed up for the 16 week bikini model program and began my journey in July.

Throughout my program I didn’t cheat nutrition – if I was going to get up at 5am to go running before work I wasn’t going to sabotage myself.  Did I just say running?!?  I was not a runner before this program – I was the person who always said “I wish I liked running because I love to be outdoors”.  I admit it was a very gradual process of walk/run for a few weeks (run every cul-de-sac, run if its downhill, run if its not uphill) before I was able to run a few miles without stopping, giving myself little pep talks along the way. But in just 4 months I can now run 7 miles!  Never in a million years did I think I’d be able to say that!

Preparation was key for me. Yes it takes a little time to get your food prep done but so much easier to pack a cooler and know you’re staying on track with nutrition, then trying to decide which fast food place has the healthiest option.  I did this for work, going out of town for the weekend, and even just shopping and running errands for a few hours.  My weekly weigh in/measurement day was on a Tuesday and knowing I was only a couple days away from seeing results of my hard work for the week helped keep me motivated through the weekend.

Each week I emailed Diana my progress and she was always quick to respond with positive feedback and answer all my questions (and I had a handful every week)!  I’ve learned so much through this process and realize that it doesn’t take hours every day in a gym to get results – its a combination of consistency in nutrition and workouts.  This process did take hard work and dedication but it also proved excellent results for this 47 year old!  Highly recommend to anyone that is serious about transforming to a healthier lifestyle.” Keep reading......

iHealthTube Featuring: Examples of Cannabis Role in Treating Cancer

As cannabis is becoming more common in the country for medicinal purposes, Dr. William Eidelman shares a couple of success stories for the treatment. He also explains how cancer treatment should ideally change from what it is now to making natural treatments the first option, for the most part. [Video and more below]

Harry J. Anslinger and the Campaign against Marijuana

By: Sam Qam

Cannabis is the most commonly used illegal drug in the world. Despite its current legal status it only became criminalised within the last century, before which it was both a regularly used recreational drug as well as a medically prescribed drug for dealing with a wide range of ailments from glaucoma to cancer and multiple sclerosis. So if merely a century ago Marijuana was a widely used and medically acknowledged drug how did it manage to reach the criminalised status that it now holds? In America the criminalisation of cannabis began as a relatively slow and understated process with certain states outlawing its use starting in the District of Columbia in 1906. A couple of states followed this example and outlawed the use of cannabis throughout the 1910s and 20s but it wasn't until the 1930's that the criminalization of cannabis became a major issue. The reason that cannabis became such a huge issue was the launch of a massive smear campaign against marijuana lead by Harry J Anslinger from 1930 to 1937. Harry J Anslinger started his career as the Assistant Prohibition Commissioner in the Bureau of Prohibition before he was promoted to the position of Commissioner in the newly created Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930. Anslinger held this position for 32 years, but it is his campaign against marijuana, which dominated the first 7 years of his tenure, that he is most widely remembered for. Anslinger made heavy use of the mass media in order to spread his anti-cannabis message. Anslinger notoriously fabricated a number of stories tenuously linked to police reports that he published in his "Gore File" and used to turn the public against the drug and gain backing for its criminalisation. Among the accusations he levied were "There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others."; "Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."; "You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother." These accusations were designed to pray on the worries that many American's had about the number of immigrants entering the country. A more interesting point relating to this is that Anslinger wanted the growth of all marijuana plants outlawed; including those that yield no intoxicating chemicals and can only be used to produce the extremely versatile textile hemp and cannabis oil which can form a cheap and effective base for fuels, paints and plastics. Anslinger and his primary supporter, William Randolph Hearst, both had considerable interest in the petrochemical industry and it has been suggested that the anti-cannabis campaign was primarily designed to eliminate hemp as a competitor. No matter the reasons it is clear that Harry J Anslinger and his anti-cannabis activism played an enormous role in the national criminalisation of the drug, something which is still strongly debated to this day.
