Analog_kid,
The real issue I am having is very bad burn in the quad muscle to the inside of my knee cap, the head just burns after about 15mins of moderate riding, somthing I have never felt in the past of 5+ years of riding. I don’t know if it’s an injury(it doesn’t hurt, just burn when I ride) or just a lagging muslce. I have started to train more(on the stationary, but so far the results are not what I’m looking for, hey maybe the Carbolin 19 will help!)

Have you changed the height of your seat? Also, check to make sure your seatpost isn’t sliding down slowly over time.
Is your stationary bike like the one found in many gyms? Or do you put your actual bike on an indoor trainer? The gym-type stationary bikes are quite upright compared to the forward lean on your real bike. Maybe this is making you use too much quads and not enough hip extension (glutes, hamstrings…)
How about a hockey slapshot?
Eric,
What about a volleyball swing. I figure it was fairly similar to a pitcher in baseball, but obviously a little different.
Shoulder Rotation
Elbow Extension
Wrist Extension
Trunk Rotation and Flexion
Also, would you change the max-effort lifts in a Westside template? Currently I’m training the bench with a max-effort day on Monday and a repetition day on Friday (following DeFranco’s template). However, I’ve been reading on the Charlie Francis forums that some throwing athletes use row variations as their main lift and bench as a supplemental. What do you think about that? I was also thinking of substituting medicine ball throws (heavier balls for strength-speed and lighter balls for speed-strength) on either my max day or rep day. I’m a freshman in college hoping to crack the starting lineup this year so I’m working my ass off to get stronger and more explosive. Any advice you can give me (here or PM) would be fantastic. Thank you so much.
