“Trigger points are small, localized muscle cramps with a variety of causes, most notably excessive loads, direct trauma, or repetitive or prolonged muscle contractions. The cramp does not normally affect the whole muscle but is usually confined to one or two small muscle fibers within the main body of the muscle. You can actually feel the cramp as a hard lump or knot in your muscle. Sometimes, especially in small muscles, the whole muscle will feel like a cable made from hard rubber.
Trigger points are not related to acupuncture points, energy points, or other esoteric concepts. Trigger points can be seen in the microscope. They can be felt as hard knots in your muscles. And oh yes, they hurt when pressed.”

Say cheese...
...it goes well with beer. Our in-house brewmasters and team-deadlifters, Sean and Brock, will be bringing a few different batches of homebrew (including the highly anticipated Overhead Pale Ale) Friday evening for all of us to sample and enjoy. Join us for the evening: we will have BBQs roaring. Bring your own meat to grill, and, if you so desire, veggies and/or side dishes to share.
Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore, authors of the brand-new edition of their unparalleled weightlifting text "Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training," will be here from Texas and looking forward to meeting y'all, so come by and say hello. Bring your friends and family and come hang out for the evening. We'll get going just after the 6:00-7:00 workout--so, starting about 7:15--this Friday evening, October 26.
We'll also have hot-off-the-press copies of the new book here for you to peruse.
