Shoulder Training For the Throwing Athlete
Using the Speed Sled
By: Tony Reynolds, MS, CSCS, YCS II
Some History
The speed sled is such a great tool, yet very few people take advantage
of all it has to offer. With a little creative ingenuity and the ability to think
outside the box, coaches and athletes can experience a completely new world
full of great training opportunity.
I was introduced to the idea of using the sled by the guys at Westside Barbell.
I am not sure where the idea originated, but they said that they were having a
lot of success using it. We started using it as a recovery tool. We would put
it in a day or two after a heavy workout to get increased vascular activity in
the fatigued muscles. We started to notice that our recover rate was increased, and that we were actually beginning to get into better physical shape.
It took me some time to narrow down what was going on. At first, I questioned
whether it would push me over the edge. I mean, I am already training 4 days
a week. Two of those days are dedicated to max-effort training, which are not
exactly the easiest workouts you can do. The other two day were dedicated
to speed strength, and bringing up the weak links. Although these days were
lighter, the strain was still substantial.
I further questioned if the fact that I was a “clean” lifter would cause problems
with the added work. The body can only recover from so much so quickly without the aid of living through better chemistry. Would this tare me down even further, would I get weaker, would I get injured?
Believe it our not, none of these things happened. I made greater gains than ever before, and I felt better. I wasn’t winded walking up the mountain to the lunch room, I didn’t get winded competing with my athletes during their training sessions, and I just felt better in general.
I think the magic of the sled is its unique properties. When an individual trains
with weights, they have to fight the vertical effects of gravity. Gravity makes
that 10-pound dumbbell weigh 10 lbs, and it is constantly trying to pull that thing down in a straight line to the ground. However, with the sled, you are not just fighting the vertical effects of gravity, but also a huge horizontal component. These horizontal components are very similar to many of the horizontal forces that we see in sport.
There is absolute freedom of movement. When training with the sled, you have
total control of movement. You can vary the movement pattern rep-to-rep,
set-to-set, or even within each movement. You can vary the load of the
movement just by increasing or decreasing the speed. You can combine
extremely explosive movements with slower more controlled movements,
without changing implements or loads. You can perform exact movements of
sport, such as throwing, kicking, punching, and, swinging. You can perform
abdominal movements, squatting, lunging, pressing, twisting, or any other
configuration you can think of.

Product Update Corner
Millionaire Genesis Program
Over the past 6 months I have been receiving tons of questions regarding how
to create lucrative information products and increase that elusive passive
revenue stream. I realized that many people could use some simple guidance
through the entire process. Therefore, I created the Millionaire Genesis program.
It walks your step by step through the entire process from how to come up with
solid gold ideas, to step by step creating your product, to setting up your website, to setting up the ultimate marketing system using newsletters and affiliates, and how to create the most power viral marketing campaign your could ever imagine.
Here is what others are saying about the program:
I just finished reading Millionaire Genesis by Tony Reynolds. Any trainer looking to start working smarter, not harder and significantly increase their earning potential, has to get their hands on a copy of this program. Tony has simplified the process of generating increased levels of wealth through passive income streams and provides the specific guidelines for accomplishing this goal. From creating an actual product, to formatting it, to marketing and selling your product, Millionaire Genesis outlines the step-by-step processes to making your product a reality. If you are truly serious about creating passive income streams and significantly increasing your net worth by creating your own information products, you must add Millionaire Genesis to your library.

Complete Training Systems Pro Update
My Personal Trainer in a Box Pro program is now busting out at 1900 pages worth of killer training programs, forms, diet plans. etc. I have been asked to include more "all inclusive" programs. Therefore, I have put together what I am going to call one hell of an all inclusive program (or so i think) called the Fitness Mentorship Program.
What is the Ultimate Fitness Mentorship Program? Well, it is a ready made CASH COW!!! (I made over $3000 off of it last month on a trial run) Imagine training 20, 30, or even 50 people at a time
without even being at work. This cutting edge new four step program will allow you to do just that.
Additionally, I have added a new f r ee bonus of 597 business forms, excel worksheets for several of the workouts, and more meal plans.
