Hey Bill!! They didn't list when Brian Grasso is going to be speaking at this seminar.
I'd be interested in seeing what Dr. Faigenbaum has to say concerning youth development. He has been a machine training advocate for years and I got to see a reflection of his ideologies when I was a student-athlete at UMass.
We all know that machine training provides increased weightroom safety (supposedly), but the tradeoff is an increased probability of an athlete sustaining injury on the field due to the lack of stability machine training offers.
I'm just curious if he's changed his mind or will his dogmatic methods continue. Don't get me wrong, Dr. Faigenbaum is a highly respected professional in this field but are the methods being presented purely based on clinical research or will they offer some practical information on youth development.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
