Triphasic Lacrosse Training Manual

by Matthew Van Dyke
Triphasic Lacrosse Training Manual

Description

All performance coaches have one ultimate desire, to create the ultimate athlete. One that is powerful, yet resilient according to the physical demands of lacrosse. The Triphasic Lacrosse Training Manual was created to allow optimal performance to be achieved in the sport of lacrosse from a physical preparation standpoint. Lacrosse, due to its fast-paced and physical gameplay, requires all competitors to achieve a high-level of proficiency in many skills. The authors have taken the physical requirements of lacrosse and broken them into six “physical performance qualities”. These six qualities cover each of the energy systems within every person, and also three qualities aimed at improving force levels. In order to display the physical proficiency required by a lacrosse athlete, each of these six physical qualities must be appropriately trained. The Triphasic Lacrosse Training Manual not only incorporates these six qualities in training, but also includes many other training principles. These other principles, which must all be considered in a successful lacrosse training program, include quality versus capacity training, injury prevention, specifically glute functioning through the introduction of the newly developed “glute layering system”, multi-dimensional training, and specific energy system and biomechanical training required in lacrosse. The Block Training, Modified Undulated Training, High-Quality, and Triphasic Muscle Action Training Models are all described fully and are demonstrated in the importance of an athlete to maximize their rate of force development (RFD), which is one of the most important skills a lacrosse player can demonstrate. RFD is critical in lacrosse as it is not necessarily the strongest athlete that comes out on top, but the one who is capable of applying the greatest amount of force in the short amount of time available.

The Ten Body Building Pitfalls Presented on US Sports Net by Beast Sports!

 

The Ten Body Building Pitfalls

  • Author Daniel Green

One of the cardinal errors a bodybuilder can make is to rely for their physical improvement entirely on a routine of weight training or other progressive resistance exercises. Some routines will undoubtedly be more effective than others, but there is no one schedule that will bring sensational, unending gains. And like any other endeavour, bodybuilding has its pitfalls, and you must attempt to avoid them at all costs.

It is very difficult to overwork the muscles of a trained athlete, but very easy indeed to drive the nervous system too hard. Clinical and laboratory experiments indicate that the muscles themselves can withstand phenomenal demands. But when a bodybuilder continues an exercise until they cannot perform another repetition, runs the risk, especially if this is done for a prolonged period. Of causing an injury, or at least a breakdown. It is the nervous system rather that then muscle fibre which is unable to cope. According to physiologists, the first to fatigue in the neuro-muscular system are the motor cells in the brain, next come the nerve end-plates, and in the third place, the muscle fibres themselves. The nerve itself is almost unfatigable. As a result of repeated consecutive muscular contractions, chemical changes occur at the nerve ending which make the transmission of the nerve impulse increasingly difficult, so that the brain has to provide a stronger stimulus via its motor cells to keep the repetitions going.

Forcing oneself in an exercise on a regular or prolonged basis past reasonable fatigue to exhaustion is therefore very expensive in nervous energy and can, shut your insulin production down. It is quite evident that the best bodybuilding gains are made by those who either limit their all-out training to infrequent intervals or drive themselves just far enough, but not too far. (Continued below....)

Because what matters to you matters to us. Your fitness goals and satisfaction matters. The details matter. YOU MATTER.” #GETBEAST

(....Continued....)Are, especially if you are young beginning bodybuilding, getting adequate food for your muscle to grow? Often, the younger you are, with so much energy to burn with high metabolism, can burn fuel at an unbelievable rate. To make matters worse, many of these fellows actually miss breakfast. How can you expect to have sufficient energy to supply your ordinary needs and have enough fuel also for adding solid muscle to your frame?

It not's necessary to "pig out" or force feeding the body to bring about body weight gains, but you can't create something out of nothing. Maybe Rome wasn't built in a day, but let's face it; Rome would not have been built in even a trillion years without the bricks to do the job.

In its way, eating too much is as bad as not eating enough and it is just common. The unfortunate result is that for every inch you gain on your chest you add two inches to your waist. A trip to fat city seldom reverses itself. At least not without enormous dedication and perseverance. Once fat is comfortably sitting around your tummy, your lower back, and your hips, it is not easily dislodged. Like a dog that is chased from a comfortable bed, it will return at the slightest opportunity, and often when you are not aware of it.

Fat kills your appearance. Ironically, a covering of "lard" will make you look bigger in clothes, but when stripped at the beach, pool, or lake, you will look smaller that if you carried almost pure muscle. The things that make a shaped up, muscular bodybuilder look good are the curves of their muscles, the way the delts run into the arms, the "peak" of the biceps, the delineation of the three heads of the triceps, the separation of the quadriceps, not to mention the absence of fat around the knee, ankle, and elbow joints. All these eye-catching phenomena are lost if there is a preponderance of fat. Superfluous weight fills in the crevices between the muscles which would add to their dramatic appearance.

When your waist -chest differential diminishes instead of increasing, you know you are in trouble. Cut the calories before it is too late. You've become a resident of fat city without even knowing it. Get out of town quick!

How Watching Your Diet Can Help Your Arthritis Symptoms and Can this treatment help with pain, inflammation and more?

 

How Watching Your Diet Can Help Your Arthritis Symptoms

  • Author Mark Smith

Did you know that by 2040, it’s estimated 78 million Americans 18 years or older will have some form of arthritis? That’s an astonishing amount of people that a trusted Riverside arthritis doctor can help prevent you from being a part of. (Continued below......)

Dr. Robert Rowen discusses a unique treatment option that he uses to help with a number of different conditions. He explains what PEMF is and how it works at the cellular level to provide beneficial effects. Find out the many conditions it might be able to help with! Learn more......


(...Continued.....)The truth is, there is no magic diet that is going to make your arthritis disappear forever — whether it’s osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or another form. But, here’s the good news: If you’re realistic about your goals, paying attention to your diet can greatly ease your symptoms.

Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Differences

There are many variables between these two common forms of arthritis, but an easy way to think of the main difference between RA and OA is this: rheumatoid arthritis is about inflammation of the tissue around the joints—osteoarthritis is about deterioration of the cartilage between the joints. Of course, there are other differences between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis that can go into great detail.

One of the main similarities is they can both impact your spine. Following are a few more differences.

First and foremost, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, and is not associated with the wear and tear of joints. This type of disorder occurs when your body's immune system turns against itself—attacking your body's healthy tissues when it should be protecting them. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complications are known for affecting all parts of the body, not just the joints. The same inflammatory processes that cause joints to hurt and become damaged also cause problems to the eyes, lungs, skin, heart, blood vessels and more.

Ongoing RA inflammation can destroy the joint cartilage and bone around affected joints. Severe cartilage loss eventually leads to bones becoming deformed. Deformities make it hard to use an affected joint and may eventually lead to disability. RA joint damage is usually irreversible and while many patients experience flares followed by periods of remission, sometimes the disease gets steadily more serious.

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and is sometimes referred to as “wear-and-tear arthritis”. Other names include degenerative joint disease, degenerative arthritis, DJD, and osteoarthrosis. It develops when cartilage, the flexible tissue that allows bones in a joint to glide over each other, breaks down and usually begins in an isolated joint. When your cartilage begins to wear away, you lose that barrier between the bones of your joints. So your bones then can rub onto one another, which can be very painful.

Osteoarthritis causes pain, stiffness, and swelling of the affected joints. While it is most common among adults over age 65, people of any age can develop it. Women are two to three times more likely to be affected after the age of 45, and men are more likely to be affected before the age of 45.

The Ultimate Arthritis Diet

A carefully thought out diet high in nutrients is a great place to start, and many foods can help fight inflammation and improve joint symptoms. It’s also important to remember that consistency and thinking long-term is key. If you know you won’t stick to a new way of eating for the long-haul, find ways of healthy eating that you will confidently commit to.

There’s a well-established relationship between obesity and pain, so diet plays a key part in preventing and managing arthritis symptoms. A low-calorie Mediterranean diet high in Omega 3 fatty acids and low in Omega-6 fatty acids has proven one of the best habits of health for those suffering with arthritis.

Studies confirm that eating foods commonly part of the Mediterranean diet can do the following:

• Lower blood pressure

• Protect against chronic conditions, ranging from cancer to stroke

• Help arthritis by curbing inflammation

• Benefit your joints as well as your heart

• Lead to weight loss, which can lessen joint pain

The Mediterranean diet consists primarily of the following:

• Fish

• Nuts & Seeds

• Olive Oil

• Fruits & Veggies

• Whole Grains

• Beans

• Nightshade Vegetables

A recent study compared diet and exercise with diet alone and exercise alone in lowering the stress on the knees in people with obesity and osteoarthritis. Diet and exercise combined yielded the best results — so your best bet is to work with your doctor to develop a diet plan and an exercise routine that takes your condition and potential limitations into account.

Tactical P.E. Presents: Off Grid Locations Require "Old-School" Layered Security and Optimizing Performance Practically with AJ Zito (CC Podcast)

 

Off Grid Locations Require "Old-School" Layered Security

  • Author George Babnick

One of the challenges of securing a remote location like a cabin, boat shelter, shed, barn, or other structure is the location itself. A location far away from others give crooks a sense of "freedom" to do their nefarious acts. In the unlikely event that someone stumbles upon them when they are breaking into a structure or prowling around a property, law enforcement is a long way away and in some cases, are just not in a position to respond at all. (Continued below.....)

(....Continued....)There are many excellent alarms and intrusion systems that provide an effective level of security for remote locations but most of them require a continuous supply of electricity. Cabins and other structures that are totally off-the-grid may have some source of periodic electricity (solar, wind, 12 volt batteries, etc.) but often this electricity is not sufficient to continually power an alarm or security system that requires electricity. Without a reliable source of electricity all of the new-fangled Wi-Fi alarms and remote surveillance systems just will not work.

When securing a remote location one often has to go "old-school" and remember that all good security is premised on a layered security system. Layered security (sometimes referred to as layered defense or other names) refers to the coordinated use of multiple security devices that use multiple components and provide multiple layers of protection. If an intruder breaches one layer of security, they have to breach additional layers of security before they can reach the asset.

In a simple physical security application, layered security usually has four primary goals: deterrence, detection, delay, and response.

DETERRENCE

The first layer of defense might be fence or gate or bright lighting which is intended to deter an intruder. This might be followed by a surveillance system that is designed to detect intruders. This could be coupled with locked or fortified doors designed to delay or slow down an intruder. Finally, an interior alarm system could be used to scare an intruder away and summons police or security officers.

I own a remote off-the-grid cabin on the Oregon coast where timely law enforcement response is essentially non-existent. Even if police were notified of a break-in, they likely would not be able to respond for hours. This is just the reality of the location.

In my case I do not keep much of value in the cabin when I am not there (no generators, expensive tools, firearms, or anything else) but some of my remote neighbors do, and crooks know that. It is easy to boot in the front door and make off with a $1,000 portable generator or some expensive cordless tools.

My first layer of defense is some large signs intended to DETER intruders. The signs tell would be intruders that the cabin does not contain anything real valuable (which is true). I know that some burglars and assorted thieves cannot comprehend well, so the signs go on to say that the cabin is protected by surveillance cameras that are routing video to a remote server via the Internet. I do not have any Internet but I have installed realistic surveillance cameras that are easy to see. I have even gone so far as installing an old satellite dish on the roof to give the illusion of an Internet based surveillance system.

DETECTION

In addition to the fake surveillance cameras, I installed battery operated wildlife tracking cameras that will take photos of anyone approaching my property. These were strategically placed in an attempt to DETECT intruders. I camouflaged these cameras to avoid detection and placed them high enough to prevent an intruder from easily stealing them. An intruder who realizes that the cameras have just snapped photos of them might be inclined to try and steal them and thus steal the evidence.

As another security layer designed to DETER trespassers, I installed solar powered motion flood lights around the cabin. These are not the dim solar lights you can buy at the big box stores. I spent the money to get the most powerful solar floor lights that I could find. Even here in cloudy Oregon the solar panels get enough sunlight to provide for a bright flood of light when anyone gets close to the cabin. In keeping with my previous article here on ArticleBiz: Outdoor Security Lighting, Consider going Blue, I converted some of these lights from the run-of-the-mill soft white light to bright blue light.

DELAY

To DETER and DELAY a burglar from breaking in, I "hardened" all entry points (doors & windows). Even though we do not have hurricanes in this neck of the woods, I put metal roll-up hurricane window shutters over my windows. They look decent and can be easily rolled-up when I am at the cabin. They are not impenetrable but provide a reasonably strong cover over the windows. A would-be intruder would have to have some tools or expend time and effort to pry they off.

I also placed a hinged plywood door over the front cabin door and secured it with a padlock. I painted it the same color of the cabin so it blends in and does not give the appearance of the front door being boarded up.

When I am using the cabin, I can detach the plywood door cover in less than five minutes. Could a burglar cut the padlock or pry the plywood off? Sure, they could. But this would take some tools, time, and effort. All security measures can be defeated by a determined crook, but "hardening" my windows and door was a reasonable, cost effective, and aesthetically acceptable way to deter and delay an intruder.

RESPONSE

As mentioned, a prompt law enforcement response in my remote location is not going to happen. But, unless the intruders wear some kind of disguise, the photos from my cameras should give law enforcement some viable leads to follow-up on.

But, if intruders manage to breach my layers of security and enter my humble cabin they will face an additional layer of security designed to repel them from the property.

In a previous article here on ArticleBiz: BLAST the Burglars with Pepper-Spray! I wrote about an anti-intrusion device that did not need electricity to operate and would blast an intruder with OC pepper spray once the intruder gained entry. This blast in the face of OC pepper spray is intended to force an intruder out of a building, home, office, car, shed, or any other premise, without human interaction. I installed one of these devices just inside my cabin front door.

Because I believe in multiple layers of security, I went one step further.

Here in Oregon, like I suspect in every state, it is illegal to set up a spring gun or booby trap to protect property if the device is intended or capable of injuring an intruder. Not only can the property owner be held liable for any injury or death to an unwanted intruder such as a burglar, but the property owner can be criminally prosecuted in most states.

The controlling statute here in Oregon is Oregon Revised Statues (ORS) 166.320 which states:

Any person who places or sets any loaded springgun, setgun, or any gun, firearm or other device of any kind designed for containing or firing explosives, in any place where it may be fired, exploded or discharged by the contact of any person or animal with any string, wire, rod, stick, spring or other contrivance affixed to or connected with it, or with its trigger, commits a Class B misdemeanor.

I did not set up any type of spring gun but I did use some 12 volt batteries and a solar panel and set up a wire that will give the intruder a jolting electrical shock (similar to that of an electrical livestock containment fence) should they not be repelled by a blast of pepper spray. This will not harm anyone but it should give an intruder the surprise and shock of their life! Hopefully, it will cause the intruder(s) to flee.

If an intruder is not deterred by my layered security measures and manage to defeat all of my layers of security, the intruder will be sorely disappointed. Like the sign says, all they will find inside is some old furniture, some Dollar Store pots & fry pans, some canned food, and a few bargain-basement fishing poles.

The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with Legend and JESUS TRANSFORMS US

 

JESUS TRANSFORMS US

 



A major complaint some people have about the Bible is that they don’t understand it. When we don’t understand something, we can’t apply it to our lives, and it therefore doesn’t benefit us. Reading God’s Word through the Old-Testament lens of the Law of Moses gives us an outdated interpretation that is no longer valid, and has no power to change us. However, reading it through the New-Testament lens of grace gives us a new perspective.

One example of this is Holy Communion, which is best interpreted through the finished works of Jesus. This celebrates Jesus’ work on the cross but, if we’re not careful, we can misinterpret the Scriptures on communion. Paul wrote that whoever partakes of communion unworthily is guilty of Jesus’ body and blood, and eats and drinks damnation to himself. A law-based interpretation makes us sin-conscious and tells us we’re unworthy to take communion if we’ve ever sinned; a grace-based interpretation reveals that Jesus was the perfect sacrifice for our sins.


Listen on Apple Music

The realization that Jesus has forgiven us for our past has a way of getting down into us to begin transforming us into better people. This is because guilt and self-condemnation have lost their power to keep us rooted in the same spot in life. Jesus creates clean hearts in us, and renews a right spirit in us. We learn the proper perspective when we let the Holy Spirit guide us and shed the love of God in our hearts, as we study the Scriptures.

God is found in His Word; we can’t help but be changed into His image as we behold Him through His Word. When the disciples saw Jesus in all His glory on top of the mountain, something inside them changed. Catching a glimpse of Jesus is bound to change us, as well.

Prayer:

God, we can’t possibly change ourselves. Thankfully, Your Word changes us when we read and study it according to the favor You have toward us. Thank You for the transforming power of Your Son. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Scriptures:

1 Corinthians 11:27-29

Hebrews 10:12

Psalm 51:10

Romans 5:5

2 Corinthians 3:18

Matthew 17:1, 2

Jesus Christ Is the Only Way - Why the Bible Offends So Many People and How To Redeem The Time In Your Season Of Waiting

 Jesus Christ Is the Only Way - Why the Bible Offends So Many People

  • Author Collin Trenery

In this day and age it is common for people to hold the view that there are multiple ways to get to heaven. Many people will say: "Whatever works for you is fine, and I'll stick to what works for me." It is no wonder that most of the world's religions coexist in harmony with one another. It is also no wonder that Christianity stands apart and is often attacked for being too offensive. Why is this? It is because true Christians will tell you that Jesus Christ is not simply "a way," but rather "the only way." And this is exactly what most people can not stand to hear.


Joseph Prince

If you are a person who claims to believe the Bible, then there is no getting around the fact that Jesus Christ is the only way. We start off with the most famous scripture of all for this subject, John 14:6. Jesus is speaking and says of Himself: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." How does a person go "through" Jesus and get to the Father? Jesus Christ died on the Cross for the sins of all who would believe on Him, and therefore to get to the Father you must believe in the Son.

As the famous verse John 3:16 states: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." You can not earn your way into heaven. Neither can you inherit heaven. Only through faith in Christ can you gain eternal life. Most religious groups today have a works based salvation, meaning that your ability to gain salvation or eternal life is based on the things you do in life. This is not what the Bible teaches.

As Ephesians chapter 2 says: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast." There is nothing in any one of us that can merit salvation or please God. We owe an infinite debt to God, as all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God according to Romans chapter 3. Therefore we all need an infinite savior, which is Jesus Christ, to redeem us and pay that debt to God. It is because of this that Jesus Christ is our only hope of salvation.

This truth is taught so plainly in Acts chapter 4 verse 12, which reads: "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." This is of course referring to the name of Jesus Christ. As we can see in the world today, Christianity is hated for taking this very position. It is because true Christians refuse to give in to the worldly idea that "everything goes," and instead hold firm to the position that Jesus Christ is the only way, and not simply an optional way. True Christians have no problem standing up for this truth.

Gifts From Grinch


When you think of the character “the Grinch,” you think of “stingy.”  That’s exactly what Alex Grinch has done over his career with his defenses.  They’ve definitely been miserly in allowing yards and points at each of his stops, but we do have a gift for you in this email with some great insight from the Sooners’ defensive coordinator.

Alex Grinch is one of the top defensive coaches in the country. He was hired as defensive coordinator at Oklahoma in January 2019 and oversaw a defensive turnaround that included the Sooners leading the Big 12 in total defense in league play.

Grinch was confident in coming to OU that he would help orchestrate a turnaround on defense. It was something he did at Wazzu. He also had the opportunity to learn from Mike Leach.

Learning from Leach

null

While serving as the defensive coordinator for Mike Leach, Grinch learned an important lesson from the offense that he applied to defense. He stated it as,

“You have a system. You work at the system, you don’t vary from

the system, and you get really really good.”

For him it all starts with a sound philosophy. It is the foundation of the system that they believe in. He gives an overview in this short video:

Another aspect of offense that taught Grinch a lesson that he applies to the Sooner defense is that of window dressing. Grinch asked himself’

“Why are we married to fronts if offenses aren’t married to formations?”

That major takeaway and thought process allows the Sooners to flip the table on the offense and stress them with window dressing and movement. Grinch notes, “We are not married to front, we are married to finish.” With the way they run their defense, they can line up and be very multiple up front while running the same stunts and blitzes over and over.

Here’s an example of what Grinch means in this video:

4 Ways to improve body composition and Build Your Upper Chest w/ Hypertrophy | Mark Bell

 

4 Ways to improve body composition

  • Author Bradley Cameron

Many people dread stepping onto the bathroom scale. It can be very frustrating to exercise and eat a healthy diet only to see the number on the scale stay the same. However, just because your body weight isn’t changing doesn’t mean that your hard work isn’t paying off. Especially if you are exercising, your body composition may be improving. This article will explain what your body composition is and how to improve it, based on science. (Continued below.....)

Prepare to stretch and squeeze your pecs into submission with this hypertrophy focused upper chest workout from Mark Bell, Creator of the SlingShot.

  1. (....Continued....)Get a DXA Scan:

One of the best options for measuring your body composition is to get a (DXA) Scan. This scan is quick, easy, and non-invasive, and returns highly accurate results. The DXA Scan treats you to a close look at your body using an FDA approved procedure of Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry. The scan is performed using two X-ray beams to scan your body from top to bottom. The scan carefully measures bone density, muscle composition, and fat composition to return a comprehensive look at how different elements of your body are distributed. Thanks to the test only taking 10-20 minutes, your body receives extremely low radiation exposure and you can return to your normal daily activities after the test is done.

  1. Keep your diet healthy:

Have you heard the saying, "you can’t out-exercise a poor diet?" It’s true. Exercise alone will not change your body composition — you need to eat a healthy diet, too. There may be an initial period of adjustment as your taste buds encounter healthier options, but you will soon be so happy with how great your body feels that you’ll begin to enjoy fueling your body well.

Remind yourself that you don’t have to do everything overnight, and results come with time. Take baby steps in integrating new, healthier alternatives and weaning yourself off of the processed junk. Trust the process and have fun creating healthy twists on the foods you know and love.

  1. Resistance training:

Not only will lean muscle contribute to an athletic look, it’ll also help you burn more calories. Resistance training is the key to success when it comes to developing lean muscle. In the same way that there is no perfect nutrition strategy for improving body composition, there have been countless proven methods of resistance and strength work.

For instance, one study found that 12 weeks of 15 different exercises three times per week positively impacted body composition. These exercises included: Barbell curls, preacher curls, pushdowns, triceps extensions, back press, lateral raises, chest press, pec deck fly, lat pull downs, seated rows, leg press, leg extensions, supine leg curls, machine hip extensions, and crunches.

  1. Osteopathy:

The osteopathic physician focuses on the joints, muscles, and spine. Osteopathic intervention can help treat arthritis, back pain, headaches, tennis elbow, digestive issues, and postural problems. Treatment can also assist with sleep cycles and the nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic symptoms. Osteopathy takes a holistic, whole-body approach to healthcare.

It uses manual 'hands-on' techniques to improve circulation and correct altered biomechanics, without the use of drugs. Osteopath in Dover does not concentrate only on the problem area, but uses manual techniques to balance all the body systems, and to provide overall good health and wellbeing.

I am a leading expert in osteopath in Dover and content writer in health with an emphasis on health and health care issues. I have a proven track record of top-notch writing. I have worked for numerous years on producing high quality work that is thought-provoking in nature while providing significant information to my readers.
