O/T: Moderators, Admin: Can We Make a Sticky for This Section?

I agree I think it's a great call...how do we go about this?

I agree as long as the moderator works with Jon on the info as alot of the past posts contain seriously wrong info

lets do it!

I have alot of questions what could have been answered if this was available

Adding on to Jsorb's ideas for potential sticky topics, I have quite a few. I think that a few of them can be straight information given that can be uncontested, unless more recent information is available. But, I also think that a few of the stickies can be in the form of debates, as long as the maturity of the people here can be sustained and the debates don't turn into name calling wars. My ideas for stickies include:

- Pro Bench Press vs. Anti Bench Press
- Olympic movements vs. Powerlifting methods
- HIIT for speed vs. other methods of training
- Basic GPP and SPP
- Injury prevention for the shoulder and elbow
- Stretching, Dynamic and Static

I will gladly help contributing to the write-up of a few of these, because I'm not going to lie, I don't know everything. Just send me a PM or an email @ m_podsiadly@yahoo.com and I will willingly help with the formation of these.

sgtdad, specifically, what posts have contained serious amounts of garbage disguised as fact, because I think that by eliminating these myths first, selecting which stickies to write will be much easier.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try to email someone about this...does anyone know who runs this site? If not I can probably figure it out.

This site get an unbelievable amount of hits for the amount of people that post here...another reason why we should make this. There are way too many insignificant threads bumped that hundreds of people read and could get wrong advice from everyday (not meaning to offend anyone).

So far we have:

Jon Doyle
Upstate NY
Myself

If you have something to contribute, feel free.

I like the idea of a Strenght & Conditioning FAQ and links to golden threads within this forum.

I'm bored and I have nothing to do, so I'm going to write up a supplementation thread and PM it to those who want to take part in this so they can edit, or change it as they please.

-In season Workouts?
-Winter Workouts?
-Running and speed drills?
-Upper Body tips?
-Lower Body Tips?

Some of these were mentioned,but these go into a little more detail

Until we get some people who really want to work on this, it won't get done. I (and Jon Doyle/Upstate) can't do the whole thing.

Volunteers?

Unfortunately there are too few distributors of the information, and too many people asking the same question. There seems to be a cycle of people asking how to gain mass/loss fat or which foods are good, and then a group of 5-10 qualified and unqualified people will answer the questions. This is going to take much longer than I expected, and I'm probably going to have a hard time finishing the supplementation 101 page before I leave for vacation in two weeks. I also don't want to put up the supplementation page until someone puts up a nutrition 101 thread, so it may be a while before it is actually posted. One thing I can do is start a basic workout info page, as that is more straight forward than supplementation. I'll email you with the draft when it's complete.

Regardless, there is a definite need for more people who are qualified to answer questions as well as bring a greater wealth of knowledge to the board. I know Jon Davies and Darren Nicholson are great baseball S&C minds, but they typically charge for their resources. Jon would have to look into that because I'm pretty sure they work together. I'm actually pretty sure Darren Nicholson is registered here under the name Dnic, but I haven't seen him post much. I'm not tryig to put Jon on the spot though, anyone with enough knowledge to answer the questions posted here is more than qualified, being a prosfessional S&C coach is not required.

Upstate- it's awesome that there's someone else my age as interested in this stuff as I! I'm actually working on a comprehensive nutrition 101 thread, and I've spoken with Doyle about adding his input as well. After I finish it I'll send it to him for any things he might want to add/change...

I'll try to finish it by today.

Well, most days, people would say that I do, along with a bunch of hard-working moderators. Other days, we all might really wonder!

Thanks for the suggestions, and I'll be talking with Jon Doyle and a few others about this.

Thanks MN-Mom. After posting that comment earlier, I found out that it was indeed you who took over the site (thread over at PG). This would be really helpful to a lot of kids.

Hopefully guys with input would be certified through Cooper's or ACSM... too much wrong info on here from what I have read.... too much gym rat crud...

Enlighten us on this terrible information. One thing that REALLY bothers me here is that everyone wants to ***** but noone wants to contribute. There are like 5 people in this forum who post anything meaningful.

/end rant

Thank you, and besides, a lot of the time, various certifications (not pointing out Coopers or ACSM specifically) are fancy ways of spelling C R A P.

I really need to get going on writing something up. JSorb, expect an email or a PM @ bb.com from me later.

i agree UPstate... but neither Coopers nor ACSM spell C R A P... but yes, a lot do...

I'd be happy to help out with what I can.

Post in the thread I made today about nutrition.

Devil,

Sorry if I was a little harsh with my rant. It wasn't meant to be directed toward you. You seem like a good and knowledgable member.

Feel free to contribute to my nutrition thread.

Speed Training? Any volunteers? I really don't know anything about speed training, I just run 60's before my workouts to get my blood going and because speed is my first goal.

Also, would any of our Guru's want to do a sticky for sports specific training programs(i.e specific long toss, weighted ball, band etc. programs)? I know I'm certianly in the majority of not knowing very much about them but have a lot of interest in them. Thanks.

My idea was to have stickies for the basic questions that get asked 10 times a day. The experts on sport specific stuff like that will make you pay for their services (Jon Doyle).
