 Get Athletic

For many lifters, appearance will always be king. They want to get big, get lean, and look a certain way to make a certain impression. That's their goal, and more power to them.
But more and more these days, you see athletic training creeping into mainstream training. Why? Part of it may be all of us strength coaches out there quibbling over who's got "go" and who's all "show," but there's an even more fundamental reason.
Explosive, athletic training is really fun.
If you've followed the other three phases of this year-long plan and have built strength, gained size, and gotten lean, then a phase where you focus on pure athleticism is a reward you've earned. If you do it right and follow this plan, you'll reap the benefits of everything else you've done this year. You'll also be better prepared after this phase to get even stronger, more muscular, and leaner. That's the beauty of athletic training.
Here's what you'll focus on in this training cycle to up your level of "go," plus the program to take you to the next level.

1. Elasticity and Reactivity

While simply grinding out quality reps with decent weights and doing conditioning is great, there's one element of athleticism that tends to be overlooked in the majority of programming: elasticity.
Have you ever watched a great basketball, football, or volleyball player effortlessly jump into the air? Sure, they're strong. But they are also incredibly elastic as well. They seem to fly effortlessly over the ground.
As we transition into our athleticism-training block, you're going to put an emphasis on getting that elasticity. We're going to do low-level plyos and "reactive" work, along with various jumps to prime your body for power.

2. Speed Over Short Distances

Another key element of athleticism is the ability to run fast. If you just groaned, trust me on this one! I don't care what your training goals are: muscle, strength, fat loss, or just health. Sprinting can help you get there, and honestly, most people really enjoy adding some sprinting in their training sessions after the initial lung-punch.
But here's the thing: You shouldn't go out and start running 40- or 60-yard dashes on Day 1 unless you want to see how miserable it is to rehab a hamstring strain. When you start sprinting on this program, you'll start with short distances first. Simple 5- and 10-yard sprints may not look or feel too taxing, but they prepare the hamstrings for the intensity of max velocity running down the line.
In fact, as you'll see in the program, I don't even want you to sprint for the first month. Instead, you'll start with low-level plyos first, then move into sprints in the ensuing training blocks. This will ensure that when you get back into longer-distance sprinting in the second and third months, your hamstrings will be up to the task.

3. Conditioning That Is Power-Focused, Not Fatigue-Focused

When it comes to conditioning, most people assume that if you aren't on the floor puking at the end of your session, you're somehow doing it wrong. This is what many of us experienced in our youth, and it's a hard mindset to shake—especially if you just wrapped up a fat-loss cycle.
But in athletics, this couldn't be further from the truth. Instead, most sports—think football, basketball, soccer, and all racquet sports—are what are known as "alactic-aerobic" sports. These activities have periods of high-intensity work, where you rely on your alactic or phosphagen system to produce energy for short periods of time, generally less than 10 seconds. This is interspersed with longer periods of rest, sometimes as long as 60-90 seconds.
Initially, the goal of your conditioning will be all-out speed and power, with full recoveries in between. As the program goes on, you'll slowly start to extend the work periods, while reducing the rest periods to make it more "game-like."

Program Overview

Athletes need multiple physical qualities to be successful. The best of them blend speed, strength, power, and conditioning to dominate their competition on the field, court, or pitch. This program is meant to cover all those bases.
The first section of your workout is power-focused. Here, we address elasticity, upper-body power via medicine-ball throws, and lower-body power via jumps.
In the strength section, the emphasis is on simply getting stronger. This is why the first lift each day is a big-bang, compound exercise.
From there, however, the emphasis shifts to stability, control, and building structural balance throughout the body. Whether it's single-leg/split-stance training, upper-body pressing/pulling, or ab work, the goal is to make you a more efficient athlete.
Last but not least, being fast and explosive while fatigued is a crucial element of athletic development. We'll start with long work:rest ratios this month (so that power and explosiveness are maximized), then tighten these up as the months go on.

Get Fit without a Gym - Advantages of Working Out at Home

By: Best Homeworkout While everyone knows the importance of exercise in general, a lot of people don’t seem to find time to develop a daily fitness routine. They don’t have time to drive to a fitness center on a regular basis. Or they have other reasons why they can’t go to the gym. The good news is that you don’t need to go to the gym to stay fit. The alternative way is to work out at home. You can do your personal fitness routine while at home through the use of different fitness techniques. Below are just some of the benefits of working out at home.

Save Time and Money

One of the advantages of working out at home is that you will be able to save a lot of time and money. Going to the gym means you need to get dressed, drive or commute to the gym, and change into gym clothes. Then after the workout, you need to do everything again in reverse. More often than not, this ritual takes more time than the actual gym session.

You also need to factor in the gym membership fee. The costs are much more expensive because it includes activities and features that you don’t need such as group classes. More often than not, you only spend a couple of hours lifting weights each week.

Flexible Schedule

Another benefit of working out at home is that you can do so whenever you want to. You don’t need to show up at a specific time at the gym for a workout class. You can do whatever workout routine you want to do, any time of the day.

Be More Focused

When working out at home, you will be able to push yourself to the limits and be more focused. There will be no distractions, unlike when you do your exercises at the gym. And you don’t need to wait for someone to finish using the gym equipment. You will not feel rushed or be self-conscious. That way you will be able to concentrate on the movements to get maximum results.

It is easy to plan your own workout at home. Most workouts done at home don’t need equipment. You just need to have enough space to do your home work out safely. The ideal workout at home must be performed in a circuit, which means that you need to do one set with rest in between. Each circuit must be done three to four times or as many as you can within 20 minutes.

As you can see, working out at home can be advantageous to you in so many ways. You don’t need to leave your home to improve and maintain your fitness level. And the best thing about it is that you can do the exercises whenever you have some free time.

The Truth About Cancer Featuring: Tammy Copley's Breast Cancer Survivor Story | 6 Years Breast Cancer-Free

Tammy Copley was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2014. Unlike most people, she wasn't scared at all. You might ask Tammy why she didn't fear cancer, and she would tell you it's because of her strong relationship with God. She knew she was in good hands and that there was a grander life lesson to be learned.

Tammy knew that this would be a journey and that she would not simply nor quickly reach her destination. However, she was ready and ambitious to learn everything that she needed to help her heal. All with a little help from The Truth About Cancer. 

 Years ago, before Google and social media platforms began censoring our life-saving information, Tammy was able to find us with a simple Google search for "the truth about cancer." She found our key series, "A Global Quest," and her research continued to unfold thereafter. 

 Keep watching to the very end to hear her personal story of God stepping in and guiding her in the most unlikely way. Tammy also mentions a few core changes she made and continues to uphold to this day to remain cancer-free

Cancer is Curable, All You Need is Knowledge

By: Alan Wighton There is no great mystery to the disease of modern civilization called cancer. It’s our number 2 killer and is in a large part a nightmare we have brought upon ourselves by the way we are now living. We are in fact poisoning ourselves to death with our artificial food our sedentary lifestyle and other lifestyle factors. All cancers are curable but you have to deal with the reasons that caused it in the first place.

We all believe there are only three ways to treat cancer but that is not true. There are certainly three ways that have a limited ability to remove some of the growths but they are not necessary cures. There are other ways that are far more effective because they deal with the cause or the reasons why it first grew but unfortunately no one can profit from them.


All cancers are curable but only by natural means. Natural ways to rid the body of cancer means finding the reasons why the growths first appeared and removing those reasons. That will allow the body to self-heal through our immune system. This system works for all cancers and works for everyone because we all have an immune system. A cancer growth is only a sign that something is wrong within the body so does it makes sense to weaken the body further with harsh treatments.

The cancer industry is keeping us submissive by suppressing information about true cures and persecuting anyone who dares strays from the 3 big money orientated treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. While they are very good at applying these treatments, these treatments won’t prevent it from spreading or returning again because the growths are only the symptoms and not the problem.

I know it’s a very brave choice to go against traditional medicine but true cures means dealing with the cause and that’s something our medical specialists don’t do. Our medical system is very good at diagnosing cancer but their treatments years ago were ineffective and they are still ineffective today.

If your cancer is serious the changes that are necessary won’t be easy. Cancer is a serious disease and the treatment will need to be a full time commitment. Also there is no point in blaming a misplaced gene for a disease of modern western civilization. We have significant control over any bad genes we may have and that control is based on what we put in our mouths, exercise, sunshine, fresh air and adequate rest. That is, the way we should be living.

Of course using food and other lifestyle factors as medicine usually affects the body much more slowly that drugs. But in the end it is a much safer and more thorough option. It works by removing the causes of the illness, where as most drugs merely relieve the outer symptoms. Don’t forget that your body strives to heal itself automatically every single day. What you need to do to assist it is to remove the barrier that’s been stopping it from healing.

Exercise needs to be addressed as it is crucial when fighting cancer. Any cancer is a result of an immune system that didn’t stop wayward cells in the body from dividing so your first priority is to strengthen the immune system and you do that with some exercise everyday. The immune system needs muscular activity to function properly and any form of exercise is beneficial. Simply walking or aerobics are both very beneficial.

Learn about cancer, search for information, and don’t put your precious life in somebody else’s hands. There is a wealth of information available today but you must be very selective in what you adopt. Any information on healing the body of cancer must revolve around natural living. That is consuming fresh food that’s been unmolested by man, a little exercise everyday, a sensible amount of sunshine for the important vitamin D we gain from it, adequate rest and sleep and be aware of the many chemicals we unwittingly use that do cause us harm.

Linemen Conditioning
Overspeed
All you need for this is a steep decline, most conveniently, a hill. Begin the overspeed drill at the top of the hill. When ready, run down the hill as fast as possible but being careful not to run out of control. What this will do is get your legs adjusted to running faster than you normally would on a flat surface. This will help increase your pick up speed. Again, be very careful not to get caught running out of control. With that much speed, a fall down a hill could be quite painful.

Four Corners
One of the oldest and best drills for conditioning. I like to place my cones about 10 yards apart to form a square, and then perform conditioning from cone to cone. Try using this combination and then create your own:

• The first 10 is a sprint
• The second 10 is a sideways shuffle
• Then Backwards sprint
• And finish with a bear crawl

I suggest 3-5 one way then turn around and go the opposite direction. Other exercises to incorporate can be "high knees," "butt kicks," "karaokes," or simple two feet hops.

Set up two coaches, 40 yards apart, and line up your players along the line of one of the coaches. All the players should begin this conditioning drill by getting on their knees, with their feet underneath them, in preparation for squat jumps. The drill involves doing a number of different motions, following by a sprint to the other coach. Feel free to vary the number of sprints and the number and type of exercises.
Execution

1. On the coach's signal, the players are to rock back onto their heels and do 10 squat jumps.
2. Immediately following their squat jumps, the players sprint to the other coach where they will do 10 sit-ups upon crossing the line he represents.
3. After their ten sit-ups, the players then sprint back to the other coach for 10 up-downs or burpees.
4. Sprint followed by 10 push-ups.
5. Sprint followed by 10 mountain climbers.
6. Sprint followed by 10 heel touches.
7. Sprint followed by 10 jumping jacks
8. Sprint followed by 10 push-ups
9. Sprint one forty-yard dash to finish the drill.

On this conditioning drill, the players can either count for themselves or you can have them all do it as a team. I use this type of conditioning to get the players in shape for the season and for disciplinary reasons. Remember to start at a reasonable level and continue to add reps as the players get into shape.

NU
To begin, split the team up into 2 groups. Instruct each group to go to opposite end zones and line up on the front goal line. In other words the two teams are facing each other, separated by the entire football field, and standing in opposite corners.
Next, using a whistle or a yell, signal the players to take off on a sprint down the sideline to the other end zone, so that the groups have now switched sides. Once the groups complete their 100-yard sprint, instruct them to walk the end zone line to the other side of the field. The pace should be a fast walk, and each group should prepare immediately for the next whistle or yell signaling their go. I have my players do four of these laps, and then line up across a line for two 70 yard sprints in similar fashion… then two 50's, two 40's, two 20's and two to four 10's (used for quickness in getting off the ball, we usually let the players walk the ten yards back).
I believe this type of sprint conditioning is good for in-season practices; staying in shape for the game and building your wind.

Submitted by: Alan Young

P.T.

• Break the team up into four groups
• Have one group with a coach at each corner of the football field
• On the whistle, two groups diagonal from one another will begin doing push-ups, while the other two groups sprint around the field
• Once each of the sprint groups arrive back to their original corner, they begin doing push-ups while the other two groups run

After one rep of this, you can add sit-ups, grass drills or any other exercise.
NOTE: Do not start the other groups running until ALL groups are back. Be sure to increase or add exercises only as the players become better conditioned.

Submitted by: Steve Curtis

Terrible 20'S
After a poor game performance or for disciplinary reasons, I will have our team perform the following:
Split your team into 2 groups and place each group on a separate goal line. Group A does 20 push-ups, on their coaches count, then sprints 100 yards to the other goal line. Meanwhile, at the same time, the other group, Group B, is doing 20 sit-ups, on their coaches count, and sprints 100 yards. Group A will do 19 sit-ups and sprint 100 yards as Group B does 19 push-ups and sprints 100 yards. Each group will work their way down to zero, alternating push-ups and sit-ups with 100 yard sprints in between. This is a gut buster.
Kids don't like to do this one. We usually do this on Monday's if at all.

Tactical P.E. On US Sports Net Presents: New Mexico high school student helps stop would-be kidnapping at store and Weight Training for Self-Defense and Close Combat

Weight Training for Self-Defense and Close Combat

By: Gary Salter Any one that is studying or training for self-defense, close combat, or mixed martial arts knows that they need to get and stay as strong as possible. To be effective in any type of hand-to- hand combat or self-defense you need to have strength and power throughout your entire body. The most effective way to gain and maintain strength and power is through a sensible, all around, total body weight training program.

You need to build strength and the best way to build strength is by using some sort of progressive resistance exercise or in other words, weight training. You need to be lifting weights in a progressive manner that challenges your body to become stronger by lifting heavier and heavier weight. Muscles grow and get stronger when they are exposed to stress therefore you should strive to make each workout as hard as possible. You should strive to add either weight or reps as often as possible. For example, if this week you were able to do 5 reps at 300 pounds for your squat, then next week you try to do 6 reps. By systematically adding reps or weight to each of your exercises you will get stronger.

In addition, you should always be training heavy. Light weight and lots of repetitions will not make you stronger. However, the term "heavy", is relative. Heavy is the amount of weight that is hard for you and makes you work hard. If 100 pounds in the squat is heavy for you and taxes you to your limit, then 100 pounds is heavy for you. Keep at this and build from there as long as you are experiencing an adequate amount of resistance. If you try to go to heavy for your limit you may hurt yourself or get disillusioned and quit.

  Another concept to understand is that you are training with weights to develop all around strength, power, and condition. You are not weight lifting to become as strong as possible in one exercise for a single lift. This would be counter productive and take too much energy because you are also training to be the best you can at your particular endeavor, whether that be self-defense, close-combat, or mixed martial arts. Again, your are training your body with weights, not training to be a weight lifter.

An excellent routine for conditioning the entire body should consist of the following exercises done once or twice a week. Squats, dead lifts, bent-over rowing, overhead press, bench press, and standing curls. Two to three sets of six to eight repetitions should be sufficient for most people. A beginner should only only need one set for the first month or two and then can progress to two or three sets. These exercises all work the core muscles and exercises such as squats and dead lifts benefit the entire body.

So, if you are looking to build power and strength and maintain total body fitness, give these exercises a try.

The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with Jerusalem

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

— 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV)

This Too Shall Pass

-by Joyce Meyer

Sometimes, when we’re going through a difficult season, we don’t think we can make it through. But God promises us in His Word that He will never allow more to come on us than we can bear as we rely on Him (see 1 Corinthians 10:13).

Second Corinthians 2:9 says that His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses. This means when we go through hard times, God wants to show Himself strong through us.

In our family, when difficult things are happening, we like to say, “This too shall pass.” It’s an important reminder that it won’t last forever.

The truth is, getting upset about our problems never changes them. However, I’ve learned that choosing to adopt a positive attitude can make a difference. When bad things happen or we’re uncertain about the future, it can be even tougher to think and say things that are positive. But it’s helpful to remember that things will change...a new season is right around the corner.

When I am in the midst of a difficult time, I choose to dwell on passages like Romans 8:35-39. I remind myself that God loves meno matter how difficult life is at the moment. I focus my thoughts on His strength and ability to pull me through any situation. As I do, I can sense faith rising up inside of me.

During tough times, it’s easy to think, I can’t do this—it’s just too hard. Watch for that type of thinking. Then, when you recognize it, replace it with a God-inspired thought like:

I can do whatever I need to do because God is with me. This too shall pass. (See Philippians 4:13; Psalm 16:8.)

Pray: “God, thank You for the strength to make it through this season. I know You are with me and it won’t last forever. Help me to choose faith-filled thoughts and attitudes that will bring peace to the situation and remind me that You have good things in store for the future. In Jesus’ Name, amen.”

Kenneth Copeland Ministry of God

By: Kelvin Shawn Faith healing has existed and has been practiced by several people in some countries around the world. Christian organizations and ministries like Kenneth Copeland Ministries have been active in conducting faith healing sessions. But what really faith healing is? The question resounds.

Originally, the idea of faith healing has started since the time when people begun to believe in their religion and followed a certain religious dogma and rituals to welcome the grace of healing through the might of God or divine power. Most believers have great deal of experiences when they undergo the healing process presided by their religious leaders who found out certain procedures to attain the rewarding result of faith healing. Non-believers do not have the capacity to comprehend the divine power and their impact. Innately, they are not able to rejoice the better rewards of religiosity as a human experience.

Faith healing is described and portrayed well in the religion of Christianity. Many spiritual leaders such as pastors and evangelists are popular for their ability to bless believers of faith healing to get rid of the blindness, the crippling diseases and people who are hurting. Faith healing starts when the healer lays his hand on the people who seek cure and who want to be healed. The amazing result is apparent when the blind can see and the cripple can walk.

It is believed that preachers could pray to ask divine intervention and could work with stunning process of healing by serving the needy, by comforting the afflicted and giving them a light of hope.
Preachers or spiritual believers could contribute to the procedure and could bring optimism to the suffering people. Some are believed to heal the patients from the stricken sickness of cancer and other incurable diseases. However, it should be kept in mind that faith healing as performed by Christian leaders like priests and Kenneth Copeland from his ministries demands total submission or subservience to the divine might of God. If a patient submits with all his faith, he will be able to receive the divine reward and be healed. For many people, faith is a state of achieving pure faith and submitting to God without any cloud of doubt.

Several circumstances of faith healing can be read in the Holy Scripture. To see it for yourself, you can read the New Testament and can attest that faith healing actually was practiced several centuries ago. As a matter of fact, Jesus Christ has proved its validity through doing countless healing to the ordinary people with his divine power. More importantly, his death because of crucifixion is a valiant act of healing-purifying our sins. And because of it, we are granted salvation.

In other words, faith healing is not just about coming up with miracles or supernatural results, but it is about achieving something because of faith larger than life. And this is the concept of Kenneth Copeland and other Christian leaders about faith healing. They believe that people should set their doubts aside, and have the courage to believe in God.

Because once everything is trusted to God, everything shall fall into its own place.

 Kelvin Shawn has been writing notable pieces of writing that tackles religion, beliefs, traditions and Ministries of Christianity like the Kenneth Copeland Ministries. His writing are often depiction of peculiar religious occurrences.

How to Survive College With Scholarship Money

By: Jeremy Smith For students that excel academically, getting a college scholarship is supposed to be a free ticket to a higher education with many advantages. They are told from the time they are in elementary school that if they go to school every day, do their homework, study hard and test well that they will earn a scholarship to college. While this is an excellent incentive for youngsters, they do not always understand how difficult it is to achieve. When the time comes, they find the hard work is just beginning. College scholarships are difficult to come by. The field is competitive. The money is restricted. It is hard to find scholarship money for the exact school that the student has their heart set on attending. Sometimes the dream does not come true.

Competition Academic scholarships are usually given to the smartest applicant with the best Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores and grade point average (GPA). Depending on the school’s size and comparable number of applicants, the competition for an academic scholarship may be so fierce that extremely intelligent students who are also good citizens and excellent athletes may not be considered for the funding. They are still welcome to attend, but may receive only some of the money or none at all.

Amount Scholarships are offered by educational institutions. While most of them are based on academics, there are certain schools which earmark athletic scholarships for their students. There are also special grant monies contributed by alumni to allow deserving co-eds to attend the university they loved so much. This is often not enough to cover tuition, books, activity fees and parking permits, as well as room and board. Many scholarship and grant students are not permitted to work while they are receiving the money. As a result, the cream of the crop of academia often find themselves in need of money for daily living. A private student loan is the most popular for them to make ends meet. The loans are not restricted by what the money can be used for, so long as they are paid back in full as agreed.

Institution Choosing the right institution of higher learning to attend for four years is challenging. It is especially difficult for students that must rely on scholarship money to attend anywhere. Rather than applying only at universities of their choice, students also apply for grants and scholarships at other schools if they have any hope of earning a degree. There is often very little time to decide whether they will accept the money. This may cause them to make a quick decision on which to school to attend without having ample time to think it through. As a result, they may not be happy there. They may be forced to stay in an uncomfortable environment for the full school year or even all four years if they wish to get an education. If they leave, there is the assurance that they will probably be approved for a student loan. Financial institutions respect those with good grades and drive. The borrower does not need to start paying back the low interest loan until after graduation. Some lenders allow the payments to begin sooner to defray costs of interest.

 Author writes about a variety of topics about paying for school and helping students learn more about scholarships and private student loans.

Kaged Muscle’s MICROPURE® Whey Protein Isolate has been formulated to be the purest, cleanest and fastest digesting whey protein isolate on the market. With zero fillers, no amino spiking, protein blends or concentrates, less than 1 gram of sugars, fats, and no added dyes or colors—bodybuilders and other athletes can accelerate recovery and maximize gains in size and strength, without compromise.

* WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE FOR SUPERIOR GAINS With the vast amount of protein supplements on the market, it’s hard to know which ones are of the best quality and worth your hard-earned cash. Unfortunately, many protein supplements are blended with inferior sources of protein, such as low quality whey protein concentrate, to increase total protein while also cheating you out of maximum gains. Ideally, for whey protein to help promote muscle growth and strength, it should be digested to the peptide level (di- and tri-peptides) within 90 minutes to be used by the body.

* Inferior sources of protein, gram for gram, are as not as pure as whey isolates. Whey protein isolate not only serves up more quality protein per scoop to ignite muscle protein synthesis, it’s also lower in unwanted lactose, fat, and carbohydrates than cheaper protein sources. It’s typically more expensive to manufacture, due to the advanced methods of processing it undergoes. 

Whey protein isolate is commonly processed two ways: ion exchange or micro/ultrafiltration. To the unknowing buyer, you may think you’re getting a high-quality whey protein but these two methods are not equal. The ion exchange process, used by many leading brands, selectively depletes several critical tiny molecules known as subfractions, which ultimately results in the denaturing (damaging) of the protein. The whey protein in MICROPURE Whey Protein Isolate has been filtered using the most advanced cross flow micro- and ultrafiltration technology to minimize fat, cholesterol, lactose and other impurities, for an ultrapure, non-denatured isolate protein. The result is a superior quality, rapid absorbing whey isolate that yields the perfect amino acid profile to fuel your body’s anabolic machinery
