I am wondering what I should do this off season. I rarely do anything in the "off" season. I was wondering if some of you guys might help me out with the right cardio to set rep relationship I should do?? Please help http://www.brockthrow.com - www.brockthrow.com

"Underhead squats" are what you need. What you do is clamp a 50lb dumbell to your nutsack, then do squats while standing on two benches. Let the weight swing freely between the benches. Use a mirror to check technique. Oh, and by the way, http://www.brockthrow.com - www.brockthrow.com . ------------- "I train in the sand pit in McDonald's. I do a few laps.

Damn Brock, I forgot to mention this. First time you do "underhead squats," you should really have a spotter, and use plenty of chalk for a firm grip. ------------- "I train in the sand pit in McDonald's. I do a few laps.

I was thinking about something the other day.......what if I decided to incorporate some rythmic gymnastics in my "off" season training. I really think that the rythem will help with the throwing.....input please. ------------- "No man Is entirely worthless, he can always serve as a bad example" Brian Oldfield |

Ballet! It worked for Lynn Swann. Required dress: Leotard Tights Tutu Ballet slippers Plie (Plee-A) - A bending of the knees in any of the five positions. Demi plie: a half bending of the knees, with heels on the floor. Grand plie: a full bending of the knees. Or Underhead Squats! ------------- Rich McClain JUST SHUT UP AND THROW! |

Ya know, people laughed at lyn swann for doing balet to be a GREAT reciever (go steelers); but it's the outside-the-box thinkers in the world that make great strides, while the mockers hurry to catch up after they see it works. GO FOR IT. ------------- Brandon |

Ok, I just got my Long and Strong Throwers Journal and there's Larry in his Iron Bru t-shirt, looking all bad a$$ and on the second page he reveals ALL his secrets about the off season. I immediately read the article and then burned it so NOBODY else would learn the secrets.....oh, wait, other people get this magazine.....crap. There's also a good article about Summer Pierson in there, too. I hope nobody's mom steals her kilt. Oh, crap, did I say that out loud. ------------- Thom Van Vleck |

Yeah this guy Mark V. asked me a bunch of questions and I was confused so I just kept looking around the internet to find something that would sound good and help me look like I knew what I was talking out. I checked out the forums on some strength training websites and I just went with what felt good. Hope it helps....by the way I cant wait to see the article Brock ------------- "No man Is entirely worthless, he can always serve as a bad example" Brian Oldfield |

You'll never see it. THat's the way he operates, he wines you and dines you and makes you feel like the most important girl in the world and then poof - never calls again. Nine months later there's an article about you out there somewhere. But you never see it.  ------------- Average joe |

| Hey Larry, I hear Bowflex has a new Pilates attachment. Have you had a chance to incorporate Rythmic Bowflex Pilates into the offseason? When you do this have you felt any Tutonic plate shifts or elevated siesmic reading? Retiring minds want to know. |

well I am considering visiting a syncronized swim class at the local YMCA. Things are a bit up in the air. I am going to do some "alive Lifts" Im a bit nervous when someone spoke of "dead Lifts" That was just plain scary. To think a lift that will leave you dead how can I throw If i am DEAD. Scary. I think that The "alive Lift" will add some inches to me throws and hopefully not me waist. Im still a bit shaken by that term "dead" especially when Halloween just past............ "Clean and Jerk" now thats just nasty we all know its "jerk then clean"

| I know what you mean "deadlifts". Thats an oxymoron. As someone who has built himself using only Hatha Yoga, started by the famous Jane Hathaway, I am sometimes lost on this board, I try to think outside the box why would I squat on it? Kettlebell, isn't that what you call the farmhands to dinner with? Does the Mayor of Zercherville workout with the Govenor of California? People talk about working out with dumbells, are there no smart people they could workout with? They talk about drilling in the offseason, why not a power saw? Does the North Know about the mojo you get when mixing an Alabama plow mule with a Texas two stepper? OOOH the beansprouts are done, gotta go. |

Is this Larry Brock with "another" secret piece of equipment ( other than the BOWFLEX).... ? I can see the Push/Pull action and the specificity of having the head back (just like the finish ) on the hammer....BRILLIANT !!!

What about the gazelle? I have seen the information provided by Tony Little, and it looks pretty serious. I am thinking the intensity is over the top for us, but look at the shorts and all. And what about training in bowling shoes like Mr. Little, can we do that? Does Larry lead he way here? ------------- Mule Sportkilt AST Sport Supplements |

We had a coach at the high school put a gazelle in my weight room. He got it donated from a parent and thought it would be great for the kids who wanted to do cardio. I had to sit and watch him drag it in the weight room. As soon as he left I called Harold over (real name) Harold is a 310lbs. 450lbs. bench pressin ' Puerto Rican nose tackle. We call him El Chupacabra. I told Harold I needed him to do a 15 mn. cardio routine on the Gazelle,,,,the Gazelle lasted about 5mn. and then started to fall apart. 2 days later we got to throw it out! ------------- "All you need in this life is a tremendous sex drive and a great ego...brains don't mean sh!t" Capt.
