Well, the family got me a copy of Tom Brady's book and looking through it, interesting approach to training.
A lot of discussion (again, first glance) regarding muscular pliability and athleticism for a more durable athlete over the conventional thinking. There's a very detailed/lengthy section that talks at length about progressive weight training, but, #5 principle in Brady's program notes: "You should train to develop the optimal strength to do the job your body needs to do while limiting the load--especially the overload--you put on your joints." (pg33) He goes on to note that normal strength training creates dense, stiff muscles which is contradictory to normal living or athleticism. "[People] have grown up believing that good health is synonymous with big muscles. But despite what the culture markets [tells] us, the goal of strength training isn't bulking up." Instead, he states it is how your training supports your movements throughout the day without leaving your vulnerable to injury. (pg 38)
The training aspect of the book includes (as the late Dr. Schwartz would call them) "long levered" band work, some calisthenics and yoga-like moves in addition to pliability work.
The book also notes we set up ourselves to underperform with bad diets and inflammatory foods. Along with recommending against junk food, sodas, etc., he also does not eat food like tomatoes or whole eggs as they're inflammatory. (There's probably more to this, but, there are MDs like cardiologist Steven Gundry who believe in this can be an issue with some foods much like the impact gluten has for people.)
And before I close, let me state:
1. I'm sure most people in the group from the US don't like the Patriots and Tom Brady. Fine but guess what? They've won a ton of Super Bowls and Bill's the greatest coach in the history of the game, so, there you have it.
2. I'm posting this for informational purposes only. Make your own choice. Eat egg yolks. Lift weights.
3. If you're interested in more, let me know.
