I have officially started and done a 100 rep style workout.  And Holy Crap! It is certainly a shock to the system... I excited to see the results as they come.  I will keep you all posted on the progress and the system at the end of the week.

On another note, We have started track practices and I am one of the coaches this season again, with a bunch of new faces and new athletes.  We did a circuit conditioning workout that focused heavily on plyometrics.  I have to admit, I am not in bad shape by any means, I would be considered among my peers to be a very strong individual.  Bringing me to a point that this first workout did give me a bit of a test... first time in 5 years, I take only 3 months off and I got hit heavily with the plyos... something a little interesting for someone being "in shape." So I am going to take this post and dedicate it to a term that seems so widely and fraudulently used in the wide world of sports.  Conditioning.  There is working out, and there is conditioning. The latter, is a term to be used in conjunction with sport specific training.  Conditioning something being done to not just make you a strong, healthy person, but to bring you to a very specific type of fitness geared toward competing for a sport team or an individual event... be it Body building, weightlifting, sprinting, cycling, football, soccer... whatever the case may be. This is pretty evident that often times one athlete has a hard time transitioning from sport to sport, it is very difficult to obtain a kind of fitness that translates from one sport to another.  This is why strength and conditioning coaches have a pretty heavy duty at schools designing programs for all the various sports at a club or institution.  When all is said and done, yes, I am strong, but I am not conditioned for track and field as of now.  Remember the difference, use it to your advantage and teach others to properly train.

Another day tomorrow! Time to Work!
