Exercise and Supplements: What they don’t tell you
Written by: Emma Anius
Every serious gym goer indulges in some form of supplement these days- be it whey protein, creatine or a multivitamin substance. There seems to be a huge push on trying to improve as quickly as possible. It use to just be the professional athletes that used supplements to reach their full potential; but now it seems supplements are so readily available to the general public; who intern consumes with little knowledge on what it actually does to the body other than what the label says.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t require the manufacture to list all the ingredients that the product contains and regulates few supplements. Which allows the manufacturers and retailers to claim many benefits and advertise the supplements as aggressively as they choose, this causes limited attention to the negative impact that supplementation can have on the body. This also means there is a danger that a product could include harmful substances.
Since supplements have become readily available to the general public there has been a huge influx of products, you are now able to take something as you wake up, then again for breakfast, as a mid-morning snack, there’s a pre-workout, during workout and post workout supplement, dinner and evening-snack supplements are also available. It now seems as though instead of eating a balanced diet and gaining nutritional value you can supplement yourself throughout the day in hopes of lifting a heavier weight at the end of the week.
The common supplements everyone seems to be aware of are creatine and protein, both of these substances can be found in meat and fish so there is no need to take supplements if you are receiving a balanced diet.
Creatine has been noted to increase muscle size and improve athletic performance when combined with exercise, and although this sounds like the perfect supplement to take when trying to get in shape for carnival it can also have a negative effect on the body.
As your body naturally produces creatine, an increased amount can build up in the bloodstream and may cause kidney and liver damage it has also been linked to muscle cramps when taken immediately before exercise or when exercising in intense heat. Although creatine does appear to increase muscle size, there are several theories on how the substance works. Some believe it increases the water content in the muscle, which leads to an increase in muscle size, and others, that the placebo effect takes place- whereby you believe you can work harder so you do.
The other very popular supplement is protein, which is taken to stimulate and maintain muscle growth. Studies have been done on the potentially deleterious side effects of protein supplementation; reference was made to the potential effects of excessive protein intake, such as dehydration, gout, liver and kidney damage, calcium loss, osteoporosis, bloating, and diarrhea. None of these side effects sound pleasurable and although the supplements have been shown to generate results, it appears to be at the cost of your overall health and wellbeing. If you want to increase your muscle mass without potentially interfering with your quality of life; train hard, eat healthily, rest well and progress gradually.
Looking after your body is the key to healthy living.
If you have no time to exercise or don’t know where to begin:
Triceps dips x 10, push-ups x 10, medicine ball twists x 20, burpes x 10, 5min jog on spot
Triceps dips x 15, push-ups x 20, medicine ball twists x 50, burpes x 20, 5min jog on spot

TaylorMade has developed a habit of producing stunning commemorative staff bags for the major championships over the last few years, and with its 2020 PGA Championship edition the brand has truly knocked it out of the park.
The first major of 2020 will take place at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco so TaylorMade decided to partner with the city’s baseball franchise, the San Francisco Giants.
The baseball fans among you will notice that the bag is accented by the Giants’ traditional cream, orange and black colourway and features the TaylorMade logo in the same font used by the MLB franchise.
On the bag’s upper you will spot eight stars, with three orange ones representing the team’s three World Series victories in San Francisco and five white stars for their five wins in New York prior to the club’s relocation in 1957.
The interior lining of the bag displays the San Francisco Chronicle headlines that followed each of the team’s most recent championships, while additional nods to the city include a stitching of the famously windy Lombard Street on the handle, an outline of the city’s skyline on the lower panelling and an image of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges across the base.
The final piece of the puzzle is the WGH insignia to acknowledge the 29th President of the United States, and the golf course’s namesake, Warren G. Harding.
You can expect to see this eye-catching bag being carried by the caddies of TaylorMade athletes, as well as those looping for PGA staff professionals in the field.
Plus, keep your eyes peeled for the chic baseball themed TaylorMade headcovers that have been designed to perfectly complement the staff bag.

No EMIs available: This ₹15-crore supercar is a missile on wheels
Automotive designer Gordon Murray’s team has joined hands with Racing Point Formula One to create this 3-seater V12 supercar, arguably with the most advanced aerodynamics ever. And it costs around ₹15.71 crore.
The official image of the supercar was released ahead of its global unveiling in May next year. Gordon Murray claims that the T.50 could be the pinnacle of great analogue supercars
The supercar with full carbon fibre body weighs just 980kg. It is powered by a Cosworth V12 engine. The company claims the T.50 will be the highest-revving road car engine ever made, capable of a staggering 12,100rpm.
Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Chairman of Gordon Murray Group, said, “We were highly focused on achieving the purest possible form for the T.50, an objective we’ve achieved through world-first engineering innovations and active underbody aerodynamics."
The rear-end of the car is dominated by a 400mm ground-effect fan. It is part of a unique airflow management system designed by Gordon Murray’s team. The team claims that the ground-effect ‘fan car’ innovation rewrites the rulebook for road-car aerodynamics.
The T.50 features six different aero modes that enable the driver to optimise dynamic and outright performance. The most extreme is the Vmax Mode which combines extra power from a 48-volt integrated starter-generator and boosts power to 700hp.
GMA claims that the supercar has generated demand from a wider than expected global customer base, with a significant number from the USA and Japan.
Gordon Murray Automotive’s partnership with the Racing Point Formula One will see the T.50 move from software-based aerodynamic testing to physical testing in the Racing Point rolling-road wind tunnel from early next year.
Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Chairman of Gordon Murray Group, said, “Formula One remains a deep passion of mine, so partnering with Racing Point to develop the T.50 is hugely exciting. I’ve dreamt of delivering a road car with a ground-effect fan since I designed the Brabham BT46B F1 racing car in 1978. The system on the T.50 is much more sophisticated than the Brabham’s and will benefit enormously from Racing Point’s expertise and resources."
RPFO team owner Lawrence Stroll said, “Working on the T.50 with Gordon Murray Automotive is an honour and a privilege for everyone at Racing Point. Our aerodynamicists will utilise our wind tunnel to harness the very latest Formula One expertise and experience for the T.50 project, ensuring Gordon’s revolutionary fan concept delivers its full potential. I have admired the design and engineering skills of Gordon Murray since his earliest days in Formula One, so it is a personal pleasure to support this project, which truly rewrites the rulebook on aerodynamics."
The Racing Point Formula One Team had rebranded from Racing Point Force India earlier this year, under the leadership of Canadian businessman Lawrence Stroll.

Understanding the Risks of Shoulder Injuries in CrossFit
Shoulder injuries from CrossFit workouts have become a growing concern among fitness enthusiasts. The nature of CrossFit exercises, which often involve overhead movements, heavy lifting, and repetitive motions, can put significant stress on the shoulders and increase the likelihood of injury.
CrossFit has gained immense popularity as a high-intensity workout regimen that combines various functional movements. While it offers numerous benefits, it is crucial to be aware of the potential risks associated with this intense form of exercise, particularly when it comes to shoulder injuries.
It is essential to recognize the dangers that CrossFit poses to your shoulders and take proactive measures to prevent such injuries. By understanding the common causes and implementing proper injury prevention techniques, you can minimize the risk and continue enjoying the benefits of this challenging fitness program.
In this section, we will explore the specific risks associated with shoulder injuries in CrossFit and provide valuable insights into injury prevention strategies. By being well-informed about these risks and taking necessary precautions, you can ensure a safer and more effective CrossFit experience for yourself or your clients
What are the Most Common Shoulder Injuries in CrossFit?
Rotator cuff tears, shoulder labrum damage, shoulder impingement, and biceps tendinitis lead the way in most common CrossFit shoulder injuries.
CrossFit has gained popularity as a high-intensity training program that combines various exercises and movements. However, it is not without its risks, particularly when it comes to shoulder injuries. In this section, we will explore some of the most common shoulder injuries that can occur in CrossFit and how they happen.
Rotator Cuff Tear
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Overloading or improper form during exercises such as overhead presses or snatches can lead to tears in these delicate structures.
Shoulder Labral Tear
The labrum is a rim of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint, providing stability. Movements like kipping pull-ups or heavy cleans can put excessive stress on the labrum, leading to tears.
is also frequently reported among CrossFitters. This occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become compressed between bones in the shoulder joint. Repetitive overhead movements like handstand push-ups or push presses can contribute to this condition.
is another common complaint among CrossFitters. It involves inflammation or irritation of the biceps tendon, which connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder joint. Exercises like barbell curls or muscle-ups can strain this tendon and result in pain and discomfort.
It’s important to note that while these injuries are more prevalent in CrossFit due to its dynamic nature, they can still occur in other sports or activities if proper form and technique are not followed.
Understanding these common shoulder injuries in CrossFit and how they happen can help athletes take necessary precautions and make informed decisions about their training routines. It’s crucial to prioritize proper form, adequate warm-up, and listening to your body’s signals to prevent these injuries from occurring or worsening over time.
Signs and Symptoms of a Shoulder Injury: When to Seek Medical Attention
Some common symptoms of a shoulder injury include pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness, and limited range of motion. These symptoms may vary depending on the severity and specific type of injury. For CrossFit enthusiasts, it’s essential to be aware of any sudden or sharp pain during exercises involving overhead movements or heavy lifting.
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of a shoulder injury is crucial in determining when it’s necessary to seek medical attention. This is especially important for individuals engaged in activities like CrossFit, where the risk of shoulder damage can be higher due to the intense and repetitive movements involved.
If you experience persistent or worsening pain, difficulty performing daily activities or participating in CrossFit workouts, it is advisable to consult a medical professional, and a great place to start is a certified sports chiropractor. Additionally, if there are visible deformities around the shoulder area or if you have experienced a traumatic event such as a fall or direct impact to the shoulder during your CrossFit session, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial.
Remember that early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further damage and promote faster recovery. A healthcare provider will be able to assess your condition accurately through physical examination, imaging tests such as X-rays or MRI scans if necessary and provide appropriate treatment options tailored to your specific needs.
Tips for Preventing Shoulder Injuries during CrossFit Workouts
Shoulder injuries can be a common concern for CrossFit enthusiasts, but with the right precautions and warm-up exercises, you can protect your shoulders and continue to excel in your training. In this section, we will explore some valuable tips to prevent shoulder injuries during CrossFit workouts.
One of the most crucial aspects of shoulder injury prevention is proper warm-up exercises. Prior to engaging in any intense activity, it is essential to prepare your muscles and joints for the demands ahead. Incorporating dynamic stretches and mobility exercises specific to the shoulders can significantly reduce the risk of injury.
Additionally, maintaining good form and technique throughout your CrossFit workouts is vital. Improper technique not only puts unnecessary strain on your shoulders but also increases the chances of injury. Take time to learn and practice correct movement patterns under the guidance of a qualified coach or trainer.
Furthermore, incorporating exercises that strengthen the muscles surrounding your shoulders can provide added stability and support. This includes exercises such as rows, lateral raises, and external rotations. By strengthening these muscles, you create a solid foundation for proper shoulder function during CrossFit workouts.
Lastly, listen to your body and give yourself adequate rest days between intense training sessions. Over-training without allowing sufficient recovery time can lead to fatigue-induced poor form and increased vulnerability to injuries.
By following these tips for preventing shoulder injuries during CrossFit workouts, you can ensure that you continue enjoying this challenging fitness regimen while keeping your shoulders healthy and strong. Remember that taking care of your body is essential for long-term success in any physical activity.
Treatment Options and Recovery Strategies for CrossFit-Related Shoulder Injuries
CrossFit has gained immense popularity in recent years, attracting individuals who seek a challenging and high-intensity workout regimen. However, with the intensity of CrossFit workouts, shoulder injuries have become a common concern among enthusiasts.
When it comes to treating shoulder injuries caused by CrossFit workouts, there are several options available. One of the most common treatments is rest and hot/cold therapy, which may help reduce inflammation and manage pain. In more severe cases, medical intervention such as sports chiropractic, physical therapy or even surgery may be necessary.
Rehabilitation exercises play a crucial role in the recovery process for damaged shoulders in CrossFitters. These exercises focus on strengthening the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint and improving flexibility. Physical therapists often prescribe specific exercises tailored to each individual’s injury and recovery needs.
It is important for individuals recovering from shoulder injuries to follow a gradual progression in their rehabilitation program. This allows them to rebuild strength and stability while minimizing the risk of re-injury.
In addition to traditional treatment options and rehabilitation exercises, alternative therapies such as dry needling therapy and chiropractic care may also be beneficial in promoting healing and reducing pain. Sports Chiropractors are the newly recognized experts in combining manual therapies, joint manipulations, and therapeutic exercises to rehabilitate CrossFit-related shoulder injuries.
Understanding the treatment options available for shoulder injuries caused by CrossFit workouts is essential for effective recovery. By incorporating proper rehabilitation exercises and seeking professional guidance, individuals can regain strength and resume their active lifestyles with confidence.
Conclusion: Prioritizing Safety and Long-Term Health in Your CrossFit Training Journey
By focusing on proper form, technique, and gradually increasing intensity, you can minimize the risk of injury and ensure that you’re building a strong foundation for long-term success. Don’t be afraid to seek guidance from qualified trainers or coaches who can provide personalized advice tailored to your specific needs.
Prioritizing safety and long-term health in your CrossFit training journey is essential for achieving sustainable progress and avoiding potential injuries. Remember, it’s not just about pushing yourself to the limit every single day, but also about listening to your body and giving it the rest and recovery it needs.
Remember that consistency is key. It’s better to have a balanced approach that allows for steady progress over time rather than pushing too hard too soon and risking setbacks or burnout. Embrace the journey, celebrate small victories along the way, and always prioritize your safety and well-being above all else.
So go ahead, lace up those shoes, embrace the challenge of CrossFit training with passion and determination while keeping your safety at the forefront of every decision you make. Your body will thank you in the long run as you achieve new heights of strength, endurance, and overall fitness.

About SuperMoto: SuperMoto is a cross-over or evolution of motocross and road racing. Races are commonly held on road racing or medium sized go-kart tracks with an off-road section in the infield. The courses are about 70% asphalt and 30% dirt. The motorcycles used are frequently custom-created combinations of off-road motorcycles and road-racing rims/tires. Riders also wear a combination of road race and off-road equipment, normally leathers and a motocross helmet and boots. Unlike normal motorcycle racing, the emphasis lies on slower short and twisty tracks, where rider skill matters far more than outright machine performance.
Some History: SuperMoto (also known as Supermotard) emerged in the United States in the late 1970's through the mid 1980's with the popularity of the ABC Wide World of Sports television series "Superbikers". This series had select riders from the disciplines of road racing, flat track, and motocross compete against each other in order to answer the bigger question of who was the best of the best. The U.S. series may have faded into history but the Europeans adopted the sport and have elevated it to new levels (Supermotard is the French translation derived from the word "superbikers"). The sport has developed a huge European following as evidenced by the debut of an FIM sanctioned World Championship in 2002. SuperMoto has shown a huge comeback in the United States with riders of all facets of motorcycle racing becoming involved with the AMA Redbull Series and the AMA SuperMoto Grand Championships both emerging in 2003.

This invention relates to improvements to stiffen a desired location in a golf club to control the flex and/or twist in the club.
When playing golf, the golfer often strives to obtain the longest distance when striking the ball in order to carry the ball further down the fairway. This can be accomplished either by developing the strength and skill of the golfer or using a golf club shaft of a more flexible material such as light, thin-walled tubular metal, fiberglass, carbon fiber, or other composites. The added flexibility in the shaft is intended to deliver the head of the shaft at a greater velocity when the head strikes the ball. This greater velocity being achieved not only by the stroke of the golfer swinging the club, but also the recovery of the energy stored in the shaft when it is initially being flexed so that part of that springiness in the flex will be recovered as velocity at the club head just prior to striking the ball.
The difficulty with more flexible golf club shafts, however, is that the less experienced golfer loses control of the exact angle at which the face of the club head strikes the ball at the moment of contact with the ball. This results in the ball not traveling straight even though it may have a longer distance. In addition, the increased flex of the shaft will result in a twist at the grip end of the shaft or a bending at the grip end of the shaft which results in the golfer loosening the golfing grip, allowing the club to slip or twist in the hands of the golfer. This destroys the desired feel of the club grip, and also can cause the ball to travel in a non-straight path.
Different types of shaft stiffening devices have been shown in prior literature. However, these are difficult to install and, once installed, result in a permanent change in the stiffness of the club shaft.
The present invention provides a solution to the golf club flexing of modern golf club shafts by providing an adjustable stiffening means, preferably in the grip end of the shaft, allowing the stiffness of the grip end of the shaft to be varied from very stiff to lightly stiff.
In one embodiment of the invention, the stiffening means includes stiffening members spaced in the grip end of the shaft and any one of the gripping members can be expanded into contact with the shaft relative to the others to vary the stiffness along the length of the grip end of the shaft.
The advantages of the adjustable stiffening members spaced along the grip end of the shaft are that the entire grip end of the shaft can be made stiffer, thus moving the kick point of the shaft down further towards the head end of the shaft. This basically stiffens the club shaft so that some of the flex is removed, thereby giving greater control of the shaft and resulting in a straighter drive of the ball.
Another advantage is that the spaced stiffening members can be made to only lightly stiffen the grip end of the club, thereby allowing more flex, but some stiffness. Any combination of very stiff to lightly stiff along the entire length of the grip end of the club can be achieved. This stiffness can be varied as the golfer progresses in skill so that a golfer who initially finds a club too flexible can stiffen the club and as the golfer's skill increases, the amount of stiffness can be reduced accordingly.
Another advantage is that the stiffness can dampen vibrations in the shaft.
The stiffening members can also be varied independently of one another along the length of the grip end of the shaft as, for example, to stiffen only the stiffening members adjacent the outer end of the shaft, thereby moving the kick point up further along the shaft but less than where its location would be without any stiffeners in the grip end of the shaft.
In addition, the spaced stiffening members along the length of the shaft can be varied independently of the others as for example by engaging the stiffening members at the grip end of the club closest to the head end and closest to the outer end but leaving a relaxed area with the stiffening members not engaged with the shaft in the center of the grip end of the club, to create a soft feel in the grip end of the club.
Accordingly, the invention should allow golfers to grow or adjust to their clubs as they acquire more skill, permanently control the amount of flex in the shaft or provide other variations of shaft stiffness and feel to accommodate their particular skill level and strength.
in another embodiment of the invention, the stiffening members can be fixed to a diameter slightly greater than the internal diameter of the grip end of the shaft to obtain a desired stiffness, and then lubricated and forcibly inserted into the grip end to provide permanent stiffening within the grip end of the shaft. In this embodiment either the adjustable stiffening members can be pre-set to the desired diameters in advance outside of the grip end of the shaft, or the stiffening members can be initially manufactured to permanent fixed diameters before being inserted into the shaft.
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary section of a hollow golf club shaft having adjustable stiffening mechanisms according to the teachings of the invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail of a portion of the shaft stiffening mechanism shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a golf club shaft of standard configuration without the stiffening members of the instant invention.
FIG. 4 shows a golf club shaft with the stiffening members of the invention showing an increased stiffness.
FIG. 5 is a golf club shaft with the stiffening members of this invention showing some of the stiffening members being energized and others not, and the resulting schematic illustration of the change in the flex of the shaft.
FIG. 6 shows a golf club shaft embodying the stiffening members of the invention with all the stiffening members only lightly pressed against the shaft, and showing schematically the resulting flex of the shaft.
FIG. 7 shows the grip end of the shaft embodying the principles of the invention with all gripping members engaged producing a reduced amount of twist in the grip end of the shaft.
FIG. 8 shows the grip end of the shaft embodying the gripping members of the invention but with the gripping members all relaxed so that the club has its normal greater twist in the grip end of the handle.
FIG. 9 shows a fragmentary grip end of a golf club shaft embodying the gripping members of the invention but with an intermediate gripping member relaxed, whereas the other gripping members are all expanded into contact with the shaft to show how the feel of the grip can be varied.
FIG. 10 shows a fragmentary grip end of a golf club shaft having stiffening members that are fixed in diameter before being inserted into the shaft.
FIG. 1 illustrates a typical golf club shaft 10 made from either lightweight tubular metal, fiberglass, carbon fiber or other composite materials. The hollow shaft has a head end 12 (FIG. 3) and a grip end 14. The grip end may be covered by a typical rubber wrap 16 sealed off by a plug 17.
As best shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, stiffening or friction members 26 of this invention are activated by an elongated threaded rod 18 having at its outer end a lock nut 20 fixed to the rod and along its length a plurality of threads 22.
Each stiffening member 26 includes a soft rubber cylinder 28 fitted over a rubber sleeve 30. The rubber sleeve has an enlarged end 32 at one end and a threaded nut 34 which is bonded or vulcanized to the rubber sleeve at the opposite end of the sleeve. These sleeves are conventional devices and operate such that when the rod 30 is threaded through the nut 34, the nut moves axially to the right (in FIG. 2) along the threaded rod, squeezing the center portion of the rubber sleeve radially outwardly. This expands the rubber cylinder 28 outwardly into tight contact with the inner wall of the shaft. The amount of grip or tightness between the rubber cylinder and the shaft can be varied by the amount of torque placed on the rod 18.
In order for the sleeve to expand, the enlarged end of the sleeve must be held against axial movement. This is achieved by the use of a washer 36 which abuts against a ferrule 38. The ferrule is locked to the threaded rod either by bonding, crimping, or by smashing a thread along the rod so that the ferrule cannot pass beyond the mashed thread.
As best shown in FIG. 1, there are several of these gripping members 26, in one embodiment five spaced along the grip end. While these gripping members in the rod can be placed anywhere along the length of the shaft, they are preferably placed at the Grip end of the shaft as shown. The gripping members 26 can all be simultaneously and uniformly radially expanded to the approximate same tightness against the inside of the shaft. This is accomplished by initially radially expanding each of the discs until they are in frictional engagement with the inside of the shaft when they are inserted into the grip end of the shaft. Then by rotating the lock nut 20 and the rod, all of the gripping members are simultaneously uniformly expanded into contact with the grip end of the shaft. This stiffens the entire grip end of the shaft and produces a reduced amount of flex, as shown in FIG. 4. In FIG. 4, the amount of flex is shown schematically as X1, and the length of that flex along the handle is shown schematically as FL1. This is to be compared with the schematic illustration of the greater amount of flex shown as X in FIG. 3 and with the greater length of the flex along the handle as shown as FL in FIG. 3.
The gripping members can also be selectively radially expanded, either in groups or any particular one, FIG. 5 illustrates expanding the three most outward gripping members but leaving the two most inner gripping members in the relaxed or non-expanded state. This provides an amount of flex X2 which is greater than X1 but less than X, and a length of that flex FL2 which is greater than the length of the flex FL1 but less than the length of the flex FL. As is apparent, any one of these stiffening members can be left relaxed and any number can be expanded.
FIG. 6 shows a situation in which all of the stiffening members 26 are radially expanded but to an amount less than the tightest amount that is illustrated by comparison in FIG. 4. While the stiffening members are all uniformly expanded, they are only uniformly expanded into lighter contact with the hollow shaft, resulting in an amount of flex X3 which is somewhere less than flex amount X but greater than the flex amount X1. Similarly, the length of that flex FL3 is somewhat greater than that of FL1 but is less than and is approximately the same as the flex length FL.
It should be understood that these exact amounts of flex and the lengths of flex are not exactly known, but are only interpreted in general terms as the resulting effect of tightening any or all of the stiffening members against the hollow shaft.
FIG. 7 illustrates a typical grip end of a shaft with the stiffening members all tightly expanded against the wall of the shaft. The arrows 40 are intended to show small amounts of twist in the handle, since the handle is more stiff and now resists the twist when the club strikes the ball.
By comparison, FIG. 8 shows a typical golf club grip end but with the gripping members 26 all in the relaxed state so that they have no effect on the grip end of the shaft. This results in larger twist shown by the longer arrows 42. Thus it can be shown that, not only do the stiffening members change the amount of flex in the club and the length of the flex in the club, but they also change the amount of twist in the club, reducing that twist where it is desirable for the particular golfer.
FIG. 9 illustrates a golf club grip end of the shaft with all of the gripping members 26 tightly engaged against the shaft except the intermediate or central-most gripping member. This gripping member is illustrated with reference number 26a and is left in a relaxed state. This produces a slight softness or flex in the handle adjacent where the golfer will place his thumb, but retains greater stiffness outward and inward of that location. The resulting effect is a stiffer acting club but with a softer feel than would occur if all of the stiffening members were expanded against a shaft.
While the various embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it should be understood that variations will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the principles herein. For example, any one of the stiffening members 26 may be left relaxed while others are stiffened. Various lengths of energizing rods and stiffening members may be used for different clubs, for example, approximately 13 inches for a men's driver, 12 inches for other men's woods, and 11 inches for higher numbered woods such as a 5 wood and in some cases irons.
Women's clubs would generally have stiffening members and energizing rods about one inch shorter than the equivalent men's, being approximately 11 inches long for the highest wood such as a 5 wood or some of the irons, and 12 inches for the 3 wood and 13 inches for the driver.
As an alternative, a single set of discs and energizing rods can be used for all clubs, both men's and women's, and the stiffening effect adjusted by leaving the innermost disc or discs in the relaxed state so that the effect is similar to having used a shorter energizing rod and number of discs.
The adjustable discs could, of course, be set to a desired diameter outside of the shaft and fixed in that position or remain adjustable. The pre-set discs could then be lubricated and forcibly pressed into the shaft. Another embodiment of less expensive construction, where the discs are pre-set, is shown in FIG. 10. In this embodiment rivets 50 having enlarged heads 52 are fixed to the rod 18. The rivets can be slid or threaded into place on the threaded rod and locked in place by crimping or deforming a thread on the rod. The rivets can also be secured to an unthreaded rod and locked in place, as by crimping the rivet tightly against the rod. In this embodiment elastomeric sleeves or discs 56 are fitted tightly on the rivets and abut the heads of the rivets. The size and diameter of the discs are selected to provide a desired stiffness when inside the shaft and their outside surface is lubricated. The entire rod with the fixed discs is then pressed manually or pneumatically forcibly into the grip end of the shaft. Any suitable lubricant that will lose its lubricity in air with time can be used, and aqueous solutions containing ester-based surfactants are preferred. Furthermore, lubricants containing organic solvents or that are oil based, as well as silicone-containing lubricants, should be avoided. A variety of suitable lubricants are commercially available, and a lubricant called "ZIP CARE" manufactured by McNett Corporation, of Bellingham, Wash., U.S.A. is preferred.
The durometer (Shore A) of the discs is desirably between 45-60 and preferably 45-50. Discs approximately 3/8 inches long and 1/2 inch in outside diameter prior to insertion in the golf club shaft have been found to work satisfactorily to be fitted into a shaft having a smaller internal diameter requiring ten to fifteen percent (10%-15%) compression of the disc when inserted depending on the internal diameter of the shaft.
A method of stiffening the grip end of a golf club shaft can be followed by inserting radially adjustable elastomeric discs connected at spaced locations to a rigid rod into the shaft and radially expanding the discs into tight engagement with the internal diameter of the golf shaft. The method can also include pre-setting adjustable discs or manufacturing the diameter of the discs outside of the shaft to a diameter larger than the internal diameter of the shaft, lubricating the discs, and forcibly pressing the discs and rod into the shaft.

MX-5 ND Front Sway Bar - Tubular
Racing Beat's sway bars for the MX-5 ND offers you the ability to further tune your suspension to match additional suspension upgrades or to suit your particular driving style. It's well noted that Mazda designed the MX-5 ND with a noticable amount of body roll in an effort to enchance driver feel, but this amount of roll isn't best suited for high performance driving. Take back control of your MX-5 by upgrading both front and rear sway bars and flatten the car during cornering, improve tranisition speed, and increase cornering power.

From a MotorTrend Magazine (RB 1990 Miata, June, 1993) all-time slalom record (73.6 MPH) to a Sport Compact Car (RB 1999 Miata ) skidpad record (1.1g), Racing Beat suspension components have proven themselves where it counts, on the track.
Designed and manufactured in-house by Racing Beat, our history with Mazda aftermarket sway bar applications extends over four decades! The Racing Beat 1.125" OD tubular sway bar (.188" wall) is designed to improve the handling characteristics of your MX-5 for use on the street and track.

Offered with three (3) end link mounting hole positions, the Racing Beat MX-5 ND sway bar can be further fine-tuned as required to alter the handling characteristics of the MX-5.
All Racing Beat sway bars are finished wih our distinctive red powder coating paint, which provides a smooth, glossy protective layer.

What is Push-Up?
Push-up is a conditioning exercise performed in a prone position by raising and lowering the body with the straightening and bending of the arms while keeping the back straight and supporting the body on the hands and toes. Moreover, it is a great exercise and has more variations than any other exercise. As a beginner, you can modify push-ups so that you can also benefit from the exercise.
Benefits of Push-Ups
Push up does not require equipment. It also allows you to do push up anywhere and everywhere without paying any gym membership. It is also an effective exercise for those who would like to build muscles, burn fats or weight loss, builds upper body strength, strengthens the core, increases the energy quickly and increases the bone mass. Doing push-up will somehow make you feel strong, confident and powerful.
To name a few, here are some of the benefits of push-ups:
Increase Functional Strength via Full Body Activation
While doing push-ups every major muscle in your body is called upon to execute the movement. These major muscle groups like the biceps, core muscles, triceps, anterior deltoids and lower body muscle are activated to support your body while stabilizing the movements.
Muscle Stretching for Health and Vitality
Push-up will not only improve your flexibility, but it will also help prevent injuries. Your biceps and back muscles will benefit from this exercise.
Enhance Your Cardiovascular System
As per Dr. Daniel Gonzales from one of his article “The Power of Push-Up.” Push-ups are an all-in-one exercise as they affect multiple muscle groups. When large muscle groups are engaged your heart must increase its regular activity to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the affected muscle tissues. Ultimately, this effect enhances cardiovascular exercise, which promotes a reduction of the stored body fat and supports heart health.
Increase Whole Body Muscle Definition – HGH Promotion
As we age, the natural release of HGH or human growth hormone declines which makes building muscle a challenging task for older adults. To keep the level of essential hormones at significant levels and to keep the bones strong, you need to perform weight-bearing workouts. To maximize the benefits of push-up, it should be done on a regular basis in the right manner.
Protect Your Shoulders from Injury
Protecting the rotator cuff should also be a priority. As push-up stabilizes the muscle which surrounds the rotator cuff joint, doing so will strengthen this part of the body thus it will lower the risk or even protect you from such injury.
Improve Your Posture
As we all know poor or improper posture will provoke back pain that can lead problems to your muscles, discs, and joints. When push-ups are properly executed, it will help strengthen the muscles responsible for supporting posture.
Prevent Lower Back Injuries
If done with proper form, a regular push –up routine will strengthen the muscle in your lower back and will also prevent and treat lower back injuries.
Save Time While Cultivating a Strong Body
Make no excuses for doing a push-up exercise as you will only need five minutes of your time. You can make it a habit of performing push-ups at the same time each day like before hitting the shower in the morning or before going to bed at night.
No Cost for a Full Body Workout
As I have mentioned earlier, to obtain a full body workout; push-up will not cost you anything. Thus, it will not require you for an expensive gym membership or even fancy equipment.
Increase Testosterone and Reduce Osteoporosis Development
As men and women age, the concentration of various hormones begins to dwindle. For men, the most prominent loss is the reduction of circulating testosterone. While preliminary evidence requires further investigation, several studies suggest the simple movements within a standard push up promotes testosterone production, which is essential for a healthy body in both men and women.
Moreover, weight-bearing exercises, such as the standard push up, support stronger, denser bones. This increase in bone density may ward off debilitating skeletal system disorders, such as osteoporosis. (From 10 Benefits of Push-up www.keepinspiringme.com)
Tips for a Better Push-up
- Ensure proper hand and elbow position
- Make sure you’re completing full reps
- Keep your body straight
- Keep your head in line
- When in doubt, build up your strength with more natural push-up variations
1. Horizontal Pressing
The horizontal pressing exercises are divided into three categories which include Bench press and variations, Push-up and variations, and Standing chest press exercises. This includes exercises like dumbbell and barbell bench presses. Furthermore, it strengthens the pectorals, triceps and anterior deltoid muscle.
2. Wall Push-Up
Wall push-up strengthens the muscles which include the arms, shoulders, and chest. Stand with your feet together 1-2 feet from a wall. Place your hands flat on the wall at the level of your shoulders. Bend your arms at the elbows to lower your body toward the wall until your head touches the wall. Raise your body back up by straightening your arms.
3. Incline Push-Ups / Incline Bench Push-Ups
Primarily, these push-ups targeted the middle to the lower region of the chest, known as the sternal region. Mainly targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Incline push-ups can be done and suitable for a surface like a high desk, a workout bench, coffee table and kitchen counter. Stand facing an elevated platform. Place hands on the edge, slightly wider than shoulder width. Position your feet together with arms and body straight. Guns should be perpendicular to your body. You may push your body up until the arms are extended.
4. Kneeling Push-Ups
This push-up is a modified version of the traditional push-up that targets the pecs, triceps, and delts. Bend knees and raise the body up off the floor by extending your arms. Keeping your body straight and knees bent lower your body to the floor by bending your arms. Then you may push your body up until your arms are extended. Repeat.
Finally, after these progressions, you will be able to do a full push-up. Position your body with your arms straight out, shoulder width apart, abs tight, holding your body in a plank position. Lower your body until your chest is an inch or two above the floor, elbows pulling back at roughly a 45-degree angle. Push your torso away from the ground until your arms lock and then repeat. As a result, it is an effective way to strengthen the chest and arm muscles.

GolfTees.com’s traditional wooden golf tee, in a variety of colors and sizes, remains the top seller. The 2 ¾” golf tee has become the new “standard” size, with the 2 1/8” golf tee used only for shorter iron tee shots.

Pickleball is a fun and exciting sport that requires skill and strategy. One of the most important skills in pickleball is the serve. The serve is the first shot in every rally, and it sets the tone for the rest of the game. Unfortunately, losing your pickleball serve can be frustrating and can affect your overall game.
If you find yourself in this situation, don’t worry. There are several things you can do to get your serve back on track. In this article, we will discuss the causes of losing your pickleball serve and provide you with effective strategies to regain your confidence and consistency.
Causes of Losing Your Pickleball Serve
Before we discuss the strategies to regain your pickleball serve, let’s first understand the causes of losing it. There are several reasons why a player might lose their pickleball serve, including:
Lack of Practice
Practice makes perfect, and the same applies to pickleball. If you haven’t been practicing your serve regularly, you may find that your serve has become inconsistent or ineffective. To improve your serve, you need to practice regularly and develop muscle memory.
Another common reason for losing your pickleball serve is poor technique. A lack of proper technique can lead to errors, such as hitting the ball into the net or out of bounds. To avoid these mistakes, it’s important to practice proper technique, including grip, footwork, and follow-through.
Pickleball is a mental game, and the pressure to perform can affect your confidence and ability to execute your serve. Anxiety, stress, and nervousness can cause you to rush your serve or overthink your technique. It’s important to stay calm and relaxed and focus on the task at hand.

Strategies to Regain Your Pickleball Serve
Now that we understand the causes of losing your pickleball serve, let’s look at some effective strategies to help you regain your confidence and consistency.
Go Back to Basics
When you lose your pickleball serve, it’s important to go back to the basics. Start by reviewing your grip, footwork, and stance. Make sure that you’re using the correct grip and that your feet are in the right position. Focus on hitting the ball with the correct part of the paddle and follow through with your swing.
Focus on Technique
To improve your serve, it’s essential to focus on your technique. Break down your serve into its different components and work on each one separately. Focus on your toss, your swing, and your follow-through. Watch videos of professional pickleball players and observe their technique. Try to emulate their technique in your own game.
Relax and Stay Calm
As we mentioned earlier, mental pressure can affect your serve. To combat this, it’s important to stay calm and relaxed. Take deep breaths before serving and try to clear your mind. Remember that pickleball is just a game, and it’s okay to make mistakes. Focus on enjoying the game and having fun.
Take a Break
Sometimes, taking a break can be helpful in regaining your confidence and consistency. If you’ve been playing pickleball for a while and have lost your serve, take a few days off. This will allow your body and mind to rest and recover. When you return to the game, you’ll be refreshed and ready to work on your serve.
Practice with a Purpose
Practicing with a purpose means having a clear plan and objective for each practice session. Instead of mindlessly hitting the ball, focus on specific areas of your serve that need improvement. Set achievable goals for yourself and track your progress. By practicing with a purpose, you’ll be more productive and efficient in improving your serve.
Visualization is a powerful tool that can help improve your performance. Close your eyes and visualize yourself executing the perfect serve. Imagine yourself hitting the ball cleanly and accurately. Visualize the ball landing in the desired location on the court. By visualizing success, you’ll be more confident and focused during your actual serve.
Seek Professional Help
If you’re struggling to regain your serve, it may be helpful to seek professional help. Consider taking lessons from a certified pickleball instructor. They can provide you with personalized feedback and tips on how to improve your serve. Additionally, playing with more experienced players can help you learn new strategies and techniques.
Losing your pickleball serve can be frustrating, but it’s not the end of the world. By understanding the causes of losing your serve and implementing effective strategies, you can regain your confidence and consistency. Remember to practice regularly, focus on technique, stay calm, and have fun. With patience and perseverance, you’ll be hitting aces in no time!
