The Connection:
It’s here: training season is upon us. I know, your performance, your outcome and your overall training schedule is probably at the forefront of your mind. But have you felt the stiffness in your joints after training? Have you noticed a slowness to recover? Have you noticed the achiness in your muscles more recently? I’d be willing to bet that there’s something else you may be concerned about… your ligaments. Ligaments are those short bands of tough, fibrous connective tissue which work to connect bones or cartilage to a larger muscle at a joint.1 As an athlete, you know nurturing your connective tissue is crucial to peak performance. The last thing anyone wants is to be sidelined for half of a season because you’re nursing poorly nurtured connective tissue.‡

Why Bodybuilding?
I get asked this a lot. I was a competitive powerlifter for over ten years. All I focused on was getting stronger and staying healthy. I never wanted to be the guy who looked so big that you confused him for a parade balloon that escaped. I respected bodybuilders. They push themselves in ways that didn’t make sense to me, but I preferred being strong and eating ice cream without feeling guilty. Once I got older, despite the mobility work, I found the heavy weights becoming more and more taxing on my body. If I’m completely honest, there was an inkling of jealousy as well. While I had told myself I didn’t care about the aesthetics, I would find myself becoming discouraged when I saw bodybuilders in the gym that despite weighing 20lbs less than I did, and not being able to come close to the weight I lifted, looked far bigger and stronger than I did. Having people compare me became a little disheartening. So, when the weights started hurting a little more, I let my ego get the better of me and decided that maybe I’d try this bodybuilding thing out. How hard could it be?
