    What is one of dumbest training ideas or days you've ever had?

    When I was a junior in high school I wanted to get those Strength Shoes real bad, you know those shoes that promise to add inches to your vertical and seconds off your 40. Anyways, I sent for them at the end of July. The shoes finally arrived the day before 2/day practices for my High School Football practices. You guys can see where this is headed. I was so anxious to use those shoes, so I took them down to the track and did one of the scripted beginner workouts with them. I thought I would just do half the workout, but ended up doing the whole **** thing. My legs were sore as **** the next day, and pretty much for the next two weeks, as we had 2/day practices for 2 weeks after that. To make matters worse, I was a running back so my legs never got any rest. I ended up using the shoes the next year in the offseason, but never before 2/days, wtf was I thinking, I was an idiot.

    I used to push my dads truck around the yard like a sled with my brother steering and I also used to throw and grip cinder blocks as well. Just a few weird things I did for football when I first started playing.

    what about that "add 1" to your arms in one day" workout from musclemag or wherever? pure poop.

    there's also the old standby winny-only (drinken of course) cycle along w/ 5,000 sets for biceps, chest, and abs that every toolbox fratboy from age 18-22 does.

    I had the bright idea to see how many times I could squat my bodyweight (85kg at the time).

    I made it to 96 before I finally collapsed - I couldn't walk properlly for nearly 2 weeks....

    I play a lot of softball and my stupidest training idea is that I can start training every winter and stop once softball starts (because I'm playing 7 games/week). Every winter I'm just fighting to get back to where I was.
