Dude that was an awesome read, really eye opening too. I used to be in a softball league, have'nt played in a couple years though, It was a blast... actually thats where my screen name comes from, 4 yrs ago I bought a bowflex(I know dumb right?) but after quitting smoking, and gaining a few pounds, I was in noticably better shape, everyone asked me if I'd been hitting the weights, and I was like, actually I bought a bowflex, so after that i was known as ''Turboflex'' from then on. Seroiusly though, that article really got me thinking about playin again this year. By the way whay kinda martial arts did you train? I'm a HUGE mma fan, ever compete?

When I was into basketball and martial arts I never lifted heavy legs because I wanted to stay light, lean, strong, and flexible. I was pretty fast and could jump and dunk. If I'd a had the right guidance... ....it wasn't until I tore my achillies in half I started going heavy. I thought I'd never dunk again, sprint down the court etc.. it was on my strong leg, my jumping leg, my balance leg......Wow, heavy legs I started putting on weight, my other lifts were doing better.....and now eleven years later punishing my legs like never before I'm a lot bigger yet still getting rim high. hmmm?
I wish I had a clue or a coach/trainer back then. I've talked to Rob a bit about athleticism and how it compares to a gym rat that just works out to get bigger. What good is that muscle if you don't use it to play..... An article (if allowed) that I liked https://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=OvOA_& ... uUsXryvMmQ.
