Excuse me for being a little critical, but much like the heavyweight championship fight that doesn't make it past the head of your first beer, I have a little trouble revolving my day around a sporting event that never happens.
 
With much anticipation, viewers suffered watching Michael Johnson pull up followed closely by Maurice Green. One minute before the race started, my 11 year old son asked me, "Dad, what would you do if those two guys came in last place?". "Never happen", I told him. Ha. Just when I thought I knew everything.
 
Muscle Management
 
For the past 5 years, I've been preaching improved muscle management. Sure, it's more work than the archaic stretch and rest program we've all been told to follow, but when on earth will people begin to realize MORE is needed. I suffered for 8 years with calf pulls before finding the experts who had enough knowledge and information to show me how to get back out there and become a runner again. My life was given back to me. I cringe at the number of injury reports I read every day in all sports--pulled hamstring, pulled groin, pulled calf muscle, achilles tendon rupture. Come on; please admit that more is needed. Like Timon says in The Lion King; "And this is okay with everybody?"
 
The Program
 
Muscle recovery is the name of the game in all sports today. Michael Johnson had problems with his quadriceps prior to this fateful event. And that wasn't even the muscle that cramped. It was his hamstring. The level of competition and demand on the athlete today doesn't work well with Mother Nature's recovery time frame. Athletes are pushing the limits, and too many are crashing and burning.
 
The Maggs Muscle Management Program uses what Mother Nature provides, and enhances it for faster recovery and superior muscle function. With it, muscles warm-up more thoroughly, recover quicker, heal from injury much faster and ultimately, perform better. The most common muscle injuries that benefit from this program are; quadricep pulls, hamstring pulls, calf pulls, achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis, plantar fascitis, ilio-tibial band syndrome, hip pain (piriformis) syndrome, low back syndrome and shin splints. All of these conditions are usually results of overuse with lack of full recovery. This program flushes the muscle of toxins that accumulate after exercise while also increasing blood flow (food and oxygen) to the involved muscles. This allows a muscle to warm-up more thoroughly and recover quicker.
