This Week Last Year: Doping, Swiss Balls, and Soreness

This week last year, there was some doping, some soreness, and the Red Sox lost.

• I explained how to do hip extensions with a swiss ball and linked to an animated image at a different site showing the move.
• I asked whether you would take a DNA test to determine athletic abilities and point out what you would be good at.
• Another doping charge against an athlete happened this week last year when Alex Bogomolov Jr was suspended for a month and a half for not having a therapeutic use exemption for Salbutamol.
• Chris at Strength News bought a Captains of Crush strength grippers.
• I spoke about sore muscles, and I also posed the query about whether or not to run through an illness and gave my standard operating procedure.
