Insanity is often defined as doing
the same thing over and over and expecting different results. In the
field of strength development, this concept applies directly to exercise
selection. In order to prevent injuries we need to be able to change.
We may only need to change grips or bar positions, but the
important thing is that we do need to change. The mark of
a great coach in any sport is one who is willing to adapt to changes.
We need to able to avoid the insanity. We need to stop doing the same
things over and over while expecting different results.

Rotary
training is probably the newest and most interesting area of core
training. Rotary training is really the blending of core training and
strength training and is in fact an essential part of both core
training and proper strength development.
Rotary
training probably traces its roots to Knott and Voss and the diagonal
patterns of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Although
most of us now recognize PNF more as a neuromuscular stretching
technique, in fact, the idea was far more
extensive. Knott and Voss advocated diagonal patterns of exercise that
would involve both sagittal plane prime movers and the muscles
responsible for transverse and frontal plane motion.

This year I'll enter my twenty-fifth year as a strength and conditioning coach. Last month I watched Barbara Walters celebrate her thirtieth year with a special called "30 Mistakes in 30 Years." I'm going to celebrate my twenty-fifth anniversary by telling you my top twenty-five mistakes.
Hopefully I'll save you some time, pain, and injury. Experience is a wonderful but impatient teacher. And unfortunately, our experiences in strength and conditioning sometimes hurt people besides us.
