Rad. I'm using Vibrams for all my running, most of which is on concrete so I have to keep running style in as a consideration - no heel striking! Once the weather clears up and you can get back out on the grass, get some sprint training in if the knees will allow it. Help with the line speed and explosive power, and I plan to do some more once daylight savings kicks in.

I bought mine in Chicago in 1992. They were all the rage with budding high school Linemen and Wrestlers at that time. Have to admit I have only used it intermittently since then. But my neck needs strengthening seeing I'm not scrummaging anymore and the harness does the job perfectly.

Lot of guys I know looked at me funny when I talked about neck exercises. I don't use a harness, just the resistive strength of my arms. Do 8 front, 8 back, then 7 either side.<br />

Another goodie is planking with the head (from side/front and back positions) using a swiss ball. -

Sounds a lot like 'wrestler's bridges' we do sometimes in jiu jitsu.<br />

Loving the Roncero avatar, by the way, I think he's already got my nomination at loosehead for the TSF team of the year. -

Its always bloodyawesome to see a wily old veteran more than hold his own in the company of much younger power athletes. Craig Dowd commented before kickoff that Roncero was much stronger than he looked. Reminds me of Richard Loe in the sense that Loey had farm strength rather than gym strength. Roncero goes to show if you have excellent technique and real mental toughness you dont actually need the six pack and 6% bodyfat to dominate at the highest level which is exactly what Carl Hoeft has kept telling me for the last twenty years!
