    Off season weight training

    More good training programs. Eric Cressey is a super man, his youtube account has loads of great info on it. I've recently recommended his shoulder rehab program to several people, I know this would help out a lot of cricketers.

    Why do it at all? Cricketers really don't need high levels of aerobic capacity, the anaerobic energy system is much more important.

    Do Jim Wendler's 5/3/1. Might help your cricket a bit. A bit. You'll definitely get big and strong though!

    Jake, why do you keep on changing your program around? Also, what's up with not training your shoulders or back? Also, think about rest days mate, I learnt this the hard way since I was never fresh for my games this year. You adapt to the training stimulus when you REST, not when you train, so...

    Bowling Action- Help

    My advice would depend on how long you've been bowling for. If you're a REAL newbie, like less than a season's experience, just keep on bowling. Learn to recognise when you get things right, and remember the way your body felt. Also, remember what things feel like when they're wrong. I think...

    Off season weight training

    Also, just as a note, you should cycle your exercises every 3-4 weeks to avoid plateaus. Cheers, Tom

    Off season weight training

    Manee, you may be interested to know that I've created my own adaption of Westside For Skinny Bastards for cricket players, which incorporates Jim Wendler's excellent 5/3/1 program for the ME lifts. My adjusted program is focused on full leg and hip development (both speed and strength), core...

    Why? The most successful powerlifters in the world started around that age.

    New article on Pitch Vision

    The way to flop the back foot is to pull the hips through. Don't get things twisted: the flop is just an indication that you're pulling your hips through correctly. The important thing is to pull your hips through, which CAUSES the flop, not the other way round. Thanks very much for your kind...

    New article on Pitch Vision

    For those of you interested, I've got another article up on pitch vision. Along with my first article, I completely the ideal motion of the legs and hips when bowling. Some of you may remember that I talked about a 'big secret' that I was dying to tell everyone. Well, I've gone public with it...

    Don't you think sitting around on your arse would do more harm than good, instead of getting fit? Good job Jake, as long as you're happy with your program thats the most important thing. I would be careful with your weightlifting though, in that I think you should follow a well designed program...

    If you're 15 years old, you're a skinny bastard. I'm a skinny bastard. Everyone's a skinny bastard until they can squat 500lbs. I've got to say that I'm really confused by your training. What's the goal of your weight training? What rep schemes are you doing? Is there any method behind your...

    No, I mean do you do all those upper body exercises in one session and then all the lower body ones in another? Why have you chosen to avoid a WS4SB template?

    This isn't meant to be done all in one training session is it? Look at westside for skinny bastards!!

    More on the bowling action

    Slow motion please! That way I'll be able to see everything that's going on. I just had a re-read of this thread, don't be put off bowling everyday! You're young, your body can take the load, go and bowl as much as you can and have fun. Soon as you give me some slow mo stuff we'll talk...
