For Markos and son

[strong enough?]

I played soccer U8 - U17. From grade6 to grade 10 I had massive growing pains in my knees on and off. Couldn't walk at times. In grade 9 I started going to the gym (it was owned by Nathan and Paul Briggs' dad). I could do leg curl and extn but not machine leg press, 45 deg leg press, hack squat, squat, lunge. The only one I could do was the leg press where you lie on your back and press straight up.

The trainer's philosophy back then (1987) was that I had to build some muscle before I could do the free weights. By late the next year, the growing pains had finished. I went in a C&J comp at school and made 55kg @ 55kg, having never lifted an oly bar before.

Sounds like Osgood Schlatter syndrome. It's pretty common for teenage boys.

Thanks.

Yes....sorry silverback.....

I do all the videos and web stuff for Gridiron Inc. Was just trying to keep that video only accessible at our website (Welcome to Gridiron High Intensity Training Website). Not really a big deal, as the video will soon be back up and available on our site. Just trying to learn how to manage privacy settings and stuff on youtube and the like.

Thanks.

Do footballers, cricketers, swimmers, gymnasts, etc. suddenly become uncoordinated during puberty?

interestingly I did during cricket in year 10, my bowling was constantly inconsistent. it was also right as I went through a growth spurt
