Productive Variety: Why I Tear Cards
We’ve all heard that in order to achieve your training goals, you have to stay focused. You think in terms of years rather than days, weeks, or even training cycles. The dedication is there, the will is there…often the obsession is there, and yet—it is still fun to try other things. It can be tempting to jump around to different tools and different programs.
Taping the Forearms for Stone Lifting
June 29th, 2009
Thanks for coming to the Diesel site today. I hope you had an extraordinary weekend!
This past weekend, I watched my first strongman contest in about a year and a half and it was a great time. Man I miss competing!
I didn’t get to see the whole thing, but I did catch the dumbbell press for reps and then the stone event.
I noticed some things I want to talk about so maybe I can help some dudes out…

Functional Movement Screen
June 27th, 2009A couple weekends ago, my boy Dan Cenidoza from BeMoreTraining.com put me through the Functional Movement Screen to assess my mobility, flexibility, movements patterns, etc, with Mike Rankin, Todd Hamer, and John Ferber looking on.
The Functional Movement Screen is a series of simple movements used to identify imbalances and other limitations that cause immobility and possibly can lead to injury due to inactivation of muscles and other problems.
Below is the video.
I figured for sure, my hamstrings would be one of my problems due to how their tightness. In fact, I have done a tremendous ammount of stretching the last year and a half to improve on that. It must have paid off because Dan was not nearly concerned about that as he was with my piriformis.
As you can see, my shoulders are pretty tight too…
As if this battery of tests wasn’t enough to cramp me up, they then put me through the ringer with stretches including bodyweight manipulations and PNF. Man, was I hurtin’.
Bastards!
Well, I got myself into this mess of tightness and immobility. Now it’s up to me to get myself out!
Stay tuned.
All the best in your training,
-Jedd-
