Shoulder Pain: More Than Meets the Eye By Dr. Vince DiSaia

By Dr. Vince DiSaia I have seen almost every type of shoulder injury imaginable. Most of them are not traumatic in nature and the patient always says, “It just started hurting one day”. The rotator cuff muscles are the most commonly injured muscles in the shoulder area. However, what most people don’t realize is that […]

System & Finger Training

I have finally finished my system wall. I started this training years ago when I read an article by the Huber brothers on how they used this method to help them increase their strength, power and body tension. I have found over the years body tension is key to improvement. The more you have the […]

The BP Editor on Dread Left V6/7

A very cool problem. As Rob mentions in the post. The grade maybe closer to V6, as I reflect on Acid Wash right I did a week ago from the stand and sit. I do believe Acid Wash right from the stand is a bit more technical and powerful, so V6/6+ is probably right. All […]
