Well... As most of you know, I was in Finland on a Mission for my Church. My hip started acting up again while I was there, and I found out that I had a pretty bad labrum tear. This tear required surgery. So I finally got the surgery I had been telling you about. I blogged all about it at http://www...

Oh! I just remembered, I am going to Lahti next week! Perfect, I can go find out about it. Do you know what the name is or anything like that? or what road it is on? If not, I can find out. Thanks

I will be here for the masters meet too. And Yeah, I am on my mission. I heard that the missionaries help out a lot with the track meets, and I might even be given special permission to go to Lahti if someone requests it ;) . I would love to have lunch with you guys if you come up here. Just please ...

There won't be any bending or spikes, strictly plant drills for beginners. If anyone could help me out tha...

Are you guys saying that a completley straight arm at take off is not blocking? I know his left arm is collapsed when the pole hits the box, but should it be straight at take off?

One of the reason to why your hips are coming forward is because you are blocking. The hips need to drive forward at take off, along with the chest. Dont block, and stay tall at take off

Yes that is her name. Her office is on sullivan just south of the freeway. If you need to know her address, just let me know and I can get that to you. And by the way... I will be in my first competition since the injury this Friday at BYU.

So after all your waiting.... here is the story... After the first few weeks at BYU training started. I was so pumped, I couldn’t wait to start. At the beginning we had a general teamwork out. Let me tell you, it felt so good to be training so hard. Sprinting and Jumping left and right, back ...

Instead what he did was planned, revolutionary, and he was very good at it. What he did was that he dynamically continued to move his arms and used his torso rotating around the pole as the pole recoiled upwards. In effect, he was flinging himself upwards similar to what a gymnast would do in a fre...

Blocking in all ways is BAD
