News, Announcements, & Suggestions / Major/Degree

Hey everyone-- just had a quick question.

I'm 16 years old and want to be a strength and conditioning coach for athletes when I grow up. I'm learning a shit load right now, and am currently helping out some of my friends with performance and nutritional tips as well as working on my own performance.

What is the best major to get when I go to college?

Kinesiology?
Exercise science?
Health and Human Performance?
Biomechanics?

Just let me know what you guys think and what you would recommend.

Thanks!

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Pronated Ankles

What's up everyone, just had a quick question.

I noticed I have pronated ankles, it's not that bad, it's just ugly as fuck, and I fear it could get worse. My arch fell as bit, but I'm not flat footed.

My case is like a 2 outta 10.

Pronated Ankles:



================================================================================

I know an easy way to fix it would to get orthotics, but I don't have $250 bucks for all of that. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks

Introduce Yourself / Time to go to work.

Hey everyone-- new to the site, everything seems pretty tight and great.

It's like a small community of dedicated athletes, I'm feeling it.

Time to go to work and learn as much as I can in the process. Let's go.

I have scoliosis, which is a curvature of the spine, so I can't back squat, instead I front squat and supplement with other exercises to help out. I can hold dumbbells and everything, just can't really lift any weight over my head, or rest anything on my shoulders. I try to stay away from spinal loading. None the less, it really doesn't affect me.

I just can't back squat, that's about it, other than that, I do everything. Except shit like military press and push press or any other lift that goes over my head.

Age: 16 years old
Height: 6'3''
Weight: 190 lbs.

Standing Reach: 96"
BF: 13%-15%

Front Squat Max: 235 lbs.
Deadlift Max: 255 lbs. (Probably more now, haven't tested it in a couple of months.)
Hang Power Clean Max: 165 lbs.
Bench Press Max: 155 lbs.

Standing Vertical: 30"
Running Two Foot Vertical: 33-34"
