PR Friday, Live Webcast, Comic, and Dr. Hartman’s Blog

PR Friday boys and girls. Post this week’s PRs to the comments; weight lifted, eaten, or gained, pants ripped, children punted, trees kicked, villages pillaged, and ladies training — they’re all PRs.

Get Your Knowledge On
Here is the blog of Dr. Hartman. I’ll let this quote describe him:

Dr. Michael Hartman is a Sport Scientist, and recognized expert in training for Strength-Power and Performance. He earned his Doctorate in Muscle Physiology and has previously worked as a Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coach and Sport Scientist at the US Olympic Training Center where he was a member of the inaugural USA Weightlifting Performance Enhancement Team.

Dr. Hartman is also friends with Dr. Kilgore (who some of you may be familiar with), and I’ve also heard that he is a very good strategist as a platform coach (this means while he handles lifters at meets). I met him briefly when he was handling Dr. Kilgore at the USAPL Texas State Meet a couple months ago.

Anyway, his blog will cover topics of Strength-Power-Performance, Sport Science, general Strength & Conditioning, as well as current events in the media. Dr. Hartman’s research and practical experience should give us a unique perspective on these topics.

  1. PR on hearing the worst radio commercial ever. Sorry in advance if this has ever been mentioned before.

    There is a weight loss product being hawked on the radio in my area called Healthy Trim. Their slogan is to “Get High School Skinny.” I’m guessing they want a country of weak, useless people?
