Very cool, how could you tell a kid he could not do that to his bedroom????

Who needs a bedroom when you've got the whole house :supz:

I don't suppose a standard gym liability policy would cover a structure like that. :shock:
Dang, looks like a good wind would send it over.

Dread to think what the insurance would be like. I bet the disclaimer is a bitch as well :lol:

Secondary note: Sussed out why the sore finger has been like it has. When gripping the holds thumb & first two fingers have been taking all the strain whilst the last two fingers have extremely poor strength when it comes to gripping.

Phew, the waiver I just had drawn up for wrestling cost me about $600 and it is a good 2 1/2 pages :shock: .

Nice how insurance companies & lawyers are the only ones making any money out of everyone else just trying to have fun :roll:

Bro, you have no idea. I now have to line up "event" insurance and the like. It is a big rip off. Don't get me started with lawyers, every time I use a modern appliance, toaster, washer, etc.. I am reminded of them......argh there I go again...serenity now, serenity now, serenity now. :mrgreen:

Kid took a right battering in last rugby game. Had to tackle some kids 3-4 stone heavier (no kidding) than them & they've mentioned that their neck & shoulder have been very sore for the last two days. Was thinking of some empty bar (5 footer) shrugs to get them started.

Any other ideas?

Certainly a good place to start, bands work great for that too. Would offer up my old nautilus neck machine but they are way to young :mrgreen:

Do you have them doing med ball work? 4lb or so overhead throws, some of the side throws, single and both hands? I really think that is the best medium for kids by far.
Simple handstands, tripod also work subtly. Pullups and of course the great wall of cookie can't be beat.

Now, I have taken an interest in staff work over the last week or so and have been playing around with that. It gives the shoulders a good workout too. A broomstick with five minutes of the basic: motorcycle-baseball-golfswing back to motor cycle and then the other side would be super fun. You of course would have to fill a pvc pipe with sand or cement and join in. Really starting to look more staff work and the possibilities with shoulder re-habilitation. Try it out and see what you think, could use another mind on this one.
