Beyond Know How

For everyone who doesn’t know, power rack is an apparatus used in weight training, primarily in leg training. Now when that’s settled we can dig deeper into quality leg workout. Every good lower body routine in the gym comprises of squats, or should I say that neither one good routine is without squat.

Squatting requires reliable, strong and heavy equipment. You can use a power rack or a squat rack which are very similar by construction. Only difference is that first one has side weight catchers which can increase the safety factor of your performance.

Squat requires considerable amount of skill. In short terms technique is everything. That is why you should never try any serious weights unless you have enough experience.

Depending on what you want to achieve will dictate the number and variation of your leg exercises. Usually there is no need to do more than 4 exercises for the thighs and 1-2 for calves. Regular squat should always be the first and most important one performed. Start with a little warm-up and carry on to a 4-5 heavy sets of no more than 3-5 reps where you would try to achieve peak performance. These sets represent a powerlifting perspective of things. At the end you can finish off with some heavy partial squats by using a power rack side catchers with adjustable height.

All in all, power racks are a necessity when it comes to hard and prolific training.

I was riding my friends Jet Ski last summer and the crystal clear and smooth lake made me want to take it full throttle.  The next thing I remember was being launched airborne and hitting the cement like water at over 30 MPH.

It’s a good thing that my friend had Jet Ski Insurance, because the submerged log I hit that day did extensive damage to his Jet Ski which he was able to get repaired.

The life vest I was wearing kept me afloat while waiting for rescue.  The  slight concussion and pain from my dislocated shoulder made me disoriented during this time. But I managed to pull through the accident.

Even though I’m a little more cautious than before, I still enjoy riding Jet Skis and wouldn’t give it up for anything.  The question you should ask yourself, can this happen to me and should I get insurance to cover this type of accident.

Often overlooked as a target for the fly-angler, the humble panfish can make for some truly memorable days on the water. Almost every fishery in North America features one species of panfish or another, and to overlook this great fly fishing resource would be fool hearty at best. You could even consider acknowledging the panfish as a target species to be one of the best fly fishing tips!

When fly fishing for panfish, many nymph patterns designed for trout can be truly deadly, especially when fishing in rivers and streams. The Bitch Creek nymph and Wooly Bugger are both excellent subsurface flies for panfish, as they can mimic a wide variety of panfish forage. As for top water fishing, any highly buoyant, buggy fly will work. Panfish are insane about top water, so take advantage as best you can.

The purchase of new fishing equipment can be a pretty stressful undertaking, especially if you are looking to spend some real money. One of the most important, and expensive, pieces of fishing tackle is the fishing reel. It’s the fishing reel that controls the cast, retrieve, and not to mention, holds all the fishing line! Spinning reels can almost always be a great choice for anybody looking for a dependable, quality fishing reel.

When going out to buy a spinning reel, always make sure you have a list of your spinning rod’s specifications on hand. Matching your new reel to your rod is exceedingly important, as mismatched rod and reel can lead to line control problems and impaired functionality. Also, the old phrase “you get what you pay for” comes largely into play when selecting spinning reels. Always be sure to buy quality, as a cheep reel is just that, cheep.

When people think of fishing, they either imagine large scale fishing with nets and such, or they think of the angler. The fisherman’s fishing tackle is like a painter’s brush, it’s what allows him to perform his craft. But what is sport fishing tackle? Sport fishing tackle is defined as anything used by a fisherman in the pursuit of catching a sport fish. This is a very broad definition however, and not of much help to somebody new to the sport of angling.

A better definition would be that sport fishing tackle is all of a fisherman’s rods, reels, line, tackle boxes, lures, baits, hooks, and other tools used directly when fishing. Deciding how much of what kind of tackle to use is up to the fisherman, as every fishing situation is different or unique. Luckily due to sport fishing’s amazing popularity, there are many information resources on what tackle to use for what species.

Many anglers will argue that using live bait is the best way to catch a wide variety of sport fish, and this can be true in many cases. The term “live-bait” means any fishing bait that is or once was a creature of some type. This can mean a lot of things to a lot of people though, as different fishing baits are used for different species of fish. It’s important to understand what your target fish species’ natural forage is. Once this is figured out, try to obtain bait that most closely resembles that food type.

Some times it can be difficult to discern what the game fish in your local waters are feeding on. Perhaps the body of water is too large and the fish too deep. Or maybe there’s such a vast array of forage types, such as in rivers and streams, that finding finding out which one the fish are feeding on can be a challenge. If this is the case, your local tackle retailer or fishing club can be an invaluable source of knowledge.
