On 4/27/04 I received my second Remicade infusion treatment. It hit me harder this time than the first treatment. I passed out in the chair, due to the Benadryl shot.

Shamanic healing derives its knowledge from the initiation process. Initiation is the entrance into new and strange dimensions of understanding that are deeply alien to the normal. Until fairly recently science was antagonistic toward this worldview. However, with the realization that there are certain limitations to scientific knowledge, true scientists began to make discoveries that went against the rational, logocentric view of a mechanistic and Newtonian world. Here are a few of these scientific theories by some of the Western world’s most acclaimed scientists.

The first time I tried the original Tae-Bo Instructional workout (also known as the “Studio” Instructional not to confuse it with the one from the new LIVE 4 pack), it was like playing a very bad game of “Twister.” You know that game where everyone puts a hand or foot on a chosen color spot and sees who is the fastest and most flexible or the most in need of a chiropractor?

The second test is finding something that I revere enough that it could be said that I worship it. Well, there is one thing that an intrepid runner seeks above nearly anything else, and if one is a serious runner, then perhaps it is something that is worshipped. “The Ultimate Mile,” as I like to call it, is not so much a real thing as an intangible segment of exercise; your best mile ever. Perhaps you’ll never reach it, or perhaps you’ve already run it and did not know it. It really doesn’t matter so long as you try to run each mile as though the next will be the “Ultimate” one. But do I worship it? Not in the strict sense of the word, no.

I will admit that I am one of those people who make rather trite and dismissive remarks to the people who show up on my doorstep on Sunday morning trying to sell me some sort of new enlightenment.

To become a better jumper, you must train the entire musculature of the body. And if I had to narrow it down to just one exercise in the weight room, I would choose the power clean, without exception.
The power clean is an incredible exercise for total body explosiveness, especially when training for volleyball. You’ll notice that this drill mimics the same body movements used for jumping.
