It is for me.
Joe, this has been really useful. I have a follow-up question for you. If you remember, how did your son progress in lifting through high school? Say, his dead lift and squat close to max (maybe two or three reps) as a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior?
My son (rising sophomore) is just starting to lift with his high school team (they did very little as freshmen), and I don't have a good sense of what a high-level progression would be -- I know this is one of the "your mileage may vary" type things, but I thought perhaps your son could serve as an example of what is possible on the far end of the bell curve.
Based on what I have seen so far, I suspect that most high school baseball players don't take lifting all that seriously, and I further suspect that it could be a real differentiator for someone who does take it seriously.
