You Choose: Torn ACL or Strained Quad?

So, I just dropped off my car at the mechanic and rode my bike back to the gym – nothing major, I just need new front brakes.  While I was pedaling, something dawned on me...  Every 5,000 miles we get our oil changed.   We don’t think about it.  We don’t...

“Bob & Weave” to prevent injuries

Tomorrow is the first night of the NFL draft, so today football fans and teams across the country are feeling as optimistic as they will all year.  Of course, the best-laid plans rarely go 100% smoothly (e.g. Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell, Lawrence Phillips..).   Now, if your plan is to play...

Golfers are especially injury-prone…until now.

One of the big stories this year is Anthony Kim’s return to professional golf after an 11-year hiatus.  Man, that dude was so good when he first came up.  Who knows what he would have become without his laundry list of injuries and surgeries?  We see injuries in all sports,...

Are you one swing away from injury?

Good lord, Scottie Scheffler. I know the rest of the field is hoping and praying for his wife to go into labor already. I was explaining to my son yesterday this is what it was like to live through the Tiger years – just not quite the longevity…yet. If he can stay healthy,...

You’re not alone

I was talking to my daughter earlier this week, “Hey, how’s everything going with your friend Maggie? Lacrosse is going well?  School is going well? She looking at colleges?” All the usual chit chat. So, why am telling you about my daughter’s friend? …Maggie’s dad is wildly successful. They live in a giant house. On a giant piece...

Squat alternatives

After close to 20 years (it’s been so long, I don’t know what the number is anymore) our Crew has beaten me into submission about squats.  Okay, not really, but I’m going to meet you in the middle.  For me, squats are one of the best, if not the best...

Pay the price

Over the weekend, our co-founder Ryan went on a road trip to Wichita for his son Murphy’s soccer team.  His son plays on a very high-level team here in St. Louis, so they travel quite a bit.  And on many of these trips, he misses out on dances, hanging with...

Cart path only

Welcome to Mandatory Golf Friday! Yesterday, a monsoon blew through St. Louis. And with it, a lot of rain. So of course, it was cart path only this morning. We always walk anyway, but the rule was really taken to heart by one of the golfers in the group in front of us who...

Masters Workout Challenge

Alright, Round 1 is finally in the books, and I know we’re in for a treat the rest of the day. Even at 46, I still get giddy about golf tourneys. Alright… If you missed it yesterday on Instagram, I posted our “Amen” Challenge Workout:  The full details are on the post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5nv-BeO6Oq/?igsh=cWY3NDFoMno1eWUz But, here...

Start your Masters tourney with THIS…

Finally, after a year-long wait, the Masters is here!  And with it comes this thought, “Holy smokes! Spring is here!”  If you’re starting to panic that spring is here.   Golf season is here.   And before you know it, bikini will be season is here.   And you’re not in the shape...
