My New Favorite Exercise
Single-leg high force reduction followed by an explosive lateral or diagonal bound, followed by another single-leg high force reduction. I love it. You can progress this exercise by adding a high knee before the forward lunge (so you’ll be decelerating from a higher height, adding to the amount of force you’ll need to reduce) or by adding a weight vest.
I’ve always wanted to name an exercise after myself, so I changed these from: Lunge to Lateral Bound to: Neeld Bounds. Not nearly as descriptive and I’m sure someone else has thought of it, but I’m running with the fantasy that I made it up.

Movie Appreciation Series: 1
I have two weeks to finish up my research on motor unit synchronization and get ready to present it. Free time is at an all time low, which means it’s a perfect time for Movie Appreciation Week. It may not be what you think. Each video will have a theme that somehow relates to performance training or ice hockey. Also, it’s playoff hockey time; you should all be growing out your playoff beards…no exceptions.
Day 1:
Technique…Every couple days I’ll come back to my apartment to the faint sound of heavy metal or someone yelling in Russian. My friend Mike spends about half of his time reading about neuroendocrinology, and the other half watching squat videos on youtube. Regardless of his social problems, this video is impressive. If only we all had this hip mobility.
