Re: t-and-f: Shot putters article

I also found the article interesting. As a former coach of Akins I detected minor errors referring to him (the article spells his name Atkins). I don't think he ever weighed more than 305 lbs. at his best and usually 290-300. His vertical was at least 32. I think we measured 33 once. Mike

Good article once I found it. The Glute Contest photos were nice also. http://www.planetmuscle.com/articles/5_5/brobs.html This wasn't mentioned in the article, but it's hard to believe that the Triple Jump record and Shot Put record were approx. the same (15.5 meters) at the turn of the

Re: t-and-f: Shot putters article

It isn't so surprising in view of the fact that there have been two major changes in shot technique during that period--to O'Brien and then to the spin. I seem to recall that long jump with a flip looked like a mechanical improvement before it was banned. Bill Bahnfleth At 09:36 AM 11/7/2002

Re: t-and-f: Fwd: woman marathoner dies

The unfortunate death of the woman at the Marine Corps Marathon being attributed to breast feeding was of great interest to me. My wife breast feed all three of our sons (each over a year) with no complications. La Leche League International just happens to be in the town where I now live

Re: t-and-f: Fwd: woman marathoner dies

My wife nursed our son for 2 1/2 years. She found that it took a fair amount of energy. She was also active in the local LLL activities and I strongly support breast feeding. Also there is substantial difference between vigorous exercise, which can enhance the body's functions, and competing

Re: t-and-f: long jump with a flip

My recollection of it was extremely vague, but I was able to find an interesting article on line that gives the credit to Dave Nielsen, head coach at Idaho State, and a former pole vaulter and decathlete. Says he improved his PR by 2 ft before the technique was banned.

Re: t-and-f: Fwd: woman marathoner dies

I was only passing on what LLL would comment on with the little information there is about this unfortunate incident. At this point, I think there are many more unanswered questions than what is actually known. Regarding energy, we found there to be much less: No late night shopping,
