Good Monday Morning!

Ok MMM’ers, there’s only 2 more weeks left for you to get your fill of CATZ Founder, Jim Liston, bringing the heat down in Orlando, FL with CATZ Austin Coach Blake Gould trying to keep up!

I think this is the specific video that Blake was telling me about when he got back home from Florida, saying “Man, I thought I was in shape, and then I started training with Jim!!” Take a look at the video for more of the 5 major movements of strength development!!

So, CATZ President and Founder, Jim Liston, is known for devising workouts that can kick your butt. Last week we saw the warm, but the warm up is officially OVER!!

This week Jim shows Coach Blake a few pointers on training all planes of the body at once, while challenging balance. He moves from basic square stance exercises to split and eventually single leg only. Let’s see how Blake handles the workout this week!

Hyper Weight Vest & SandBell Sandbag Warm-Up with Jim Liston – MMM #39A

January 18th, 2010
,,,,,,,,,,, - CATZ - Hyper Vest - HyperWear - Jim Liston - Monday Morning Muscle - SandBell - dynamic warm up - sandbag - weight vest

Good Monday Morning!!

What a special guest we have to start a new series of MMM this year! Jim Liston, founder of the Competitive Athlete Training Zone, has joined us out at the American Football Coaches Association Conference, in Orlando, Florida. Along with Jim is our own CATZ Austin Coach, Blake Gould.

This week they are showing us a little warm up series with the SandBell. This warm up is ideal before any type of exercise, whether it be weight training, plyometrics, or even running. One of Jim’s philosophies of training is to always cover 5 keys of training: exercises that cover square stance, split stance, single leg stance, a push, and a pull. Cover these and you’re in for a great workout no matter who you are!

Enjoy!!!

Balance & Core Stability Training with SandBell Sandbag

January 11th, 2010
,,,,,,,,,, - Bill Meyer - Hyper Vest - HyperWear - SandBell - balance - core - sandbag - weight vest

Good Monday Morning!!

We are going to start off 2010 with an oldie but goodie in the Hyper Wear list of fun activities. We take a game of catch and add a little challenge. First, we all stand on one leg as we toss the SandBell from person to person. We call out the person’s name before we throw it and try to toss it so they have to reach for it, challenging their balance, stability and strength. Longer reaches also add a dynamic stretch into the mix. To make it more challenging, stand on a SandBell as you toss the other set around. If you want to make it really tough, add more SandBells into the mix.

Enjoy!

Diane Vives and Volleyball – SandBell sandbags and Hyper Vest weight vest for added resistance – MMM #36

December 14th, 2009
,,,,,,,,,,,,, - Bill Meyer - CATZ - Diane Vives - Hyper Vest - HyperWear - Monday Morning Muscle - SandBell - Vives Training Systems - female athlete - interview - sandbag - training - weight vest

Good Monday Morning!!

The final week of our Female Athlete Series with Diane Vives is here, and we thought we’d end with one of the, if not the, most popular sports for young females to play: volleyball.

This week, Diane brings us a few basic exercises on how to improve an athlete’s passing technique through a lateral lunge exercise designed to stress the muscles but not the joints and ligaments. As always, if your focus is injury prevention through the exercises we’ve brought to you the past 4 weeks, make sure the correct technique and speed is used during the exercise. If not done correctly, the issues a female athlete may have in the hip, knee, or ankle may simply be compounded instead of treated through these exercises.

Hate Push Ups? SandBell (sandbags) and Hyper Vest (weight vests) let you train for them without doing them! – MMM #35

December 7th, 2009
,,,,,,,,,,, - Bill Meyer - CATZ - Diane Vives - Hyper Vest - Monday Morning Muscle - SandBell - Vives Training Systems - athlete training - female athlete - push ups - sandbag

Good Monday Morning!

Next up in our series related to the female athlete, we are tackling shoulder stability.

Gone are the days of military press and open-chain shoulder raises as the way to create a strong shoulder.

Although there are lots of injuries that take place in sports due to non-contact, open-chain activities (such as repetitive spiking of a volleyball and meter after meter of a certain swimming strokes), several injuries occur from contact with another athlete or the ground. Therefore, performing closed-chain shoulder stability exercises creates a well-rounded shoulder that is used to taking force at all angles and is more efficient at staying in its girdle during activity. Weight machines with a fixed range of motion don’t do the trick, as movement in sport requires a strong, stable shoulder in all planes of motion and at extreme angles.

Try giving these exercises a shot and take the time to feel the difference of an open-chain exercise versus a closed-chain. Enjoy!
