Today was a good day to get in the weight room again and see if any player made improvements in the past week. It rained here so I let everyone know to meet in the Trumbull High weight room after school at 2:30. The guards showed up and surprisingly enough, most of the kids showed small improvements in the amount of weight they could lift and also the repetitions.

After an hour and a half with the guards, the big men came in and sadly to say, there were no improvements and even some kids went down. Seeing this was a little confusing because I was baffled by the fact that you could go down in weight in just one week. I wasn't sure whether they were just tired or they actually got that much weaker. With this, I have decided that tomorrow for the big men will be a day of just conditioning to try and get the point across of how important the weight room is to a player.
