FYI Keith - A new powerlifting gym opened up in town here. On
the wall are several articles about powerlifting and lifters.
One of them is "Powerlifting Girl Style training with Meghan
Hobman". I had nothing to do with posting it.

I was giving Meghan a hard time about being 'retired' at the
ripe old age of 18. She pointed out she hasn't lifted since
she was 15, but I considered switching sports an okay thing.

I wish she would get back into it...

She may; she's still young. Don't push her (absolutely wrong
thing to do, Dad :)

BTW, what's good training for pounding fence posts? Relative
intensity? Frequency? Volume? How many can I do in one day and
still have shoulders and arms left? (I used to do a sort of
plyometric movement doing this to spare the impact on my arms
and shoulders. It gets to them quickly after pounding posts in
for hours, sometimes with arms going numb at the end of the
day. I learned how to let gravity do most of the work.)

I think Lee and I need to write "The Guide to Training for
Ranch Work".

BTW, for the first time, I got to see Romanian Deadlifts
performed today. Ouch - no thanks.

(punchy from pause deadlifts and max benches and not enough
sleep....)

Rocky Marciano used to swing an axe and sledge, which he
claimed taught him to hit harder. He also did resistance
training in a pool. Dude was way ahead of his time.

My take on ranch work - you are going to hurt. There is no
getting around it.

The odd thing is that in functional use of axe and sledge
(used them plenty enough). you learn to swing and let the
height, momentum and gravity actually do the 'hard' work: the
impact hit. It saves the arms and shoulders. When you do the
swing, the force originates from the torso and from the legs,
with a bit of a quick knee bend and power up with the swing.
It embraces much of the same principles of OL lifts. (maybe
that's why I took so quick to the OL lifts). I bet Wayne can
expand on this similarity.

I adapted that to using the metal post driver. And put in a
fence circling 15 acres at the ranch (with cross-fencing for
the horse pasture). It appears I may be replacing a bunch of
fence again :)

Resistance training in a pool? How did he do that?

>My take on ranch work - you are going to hurt. There is no

Yes, I know. Did it for many years and, oddly enough, I miss
it. But I don't miss lambing season.......

What? Not exercising is more sensible?

Not powerlifting (recreationally or competitively or
professionally).

I beg to differ. If done rationally powerlifting is a very
safe sport. Much less chance of injury than, say, running.
Check out the studies. Competitive lifters are less likely to
be injured than recreational lifters, although in reality I
suspect intelligent recreational lifters are less likely. It's
the testosterone filled show-offs in the gym that cause most
injuries, IMO.

That would preclude most competitive lifters.

One injury related to lifting and it was from doing a dumb
thing. I don't think we can count falling on ice as a
powerlifting related injury or rotator cuff damage from
fighting the doctors in the OR.

So yeah - I know it was a good-humoured comment, but
powerlifting has been very good to me. I had far more injuries
while running and also from other sports - rugby, baseball and
hockey being the worst.
