New Website for Sports Performance & Training Advice
I am currently involved in a new business venture with a few of my former classmates from graduate school. We have created the website http://www.athletesequation.com/. This website is going to be the source for information on Sports Performance training that is evidence based and proven through research. There is so much false and untested information out there that so many Athletes, Coaches, and parents of athletes come across and believe. However, there is many different philosophies on Sports Performance training. All of these different approaches are not right or wrong but some work best for some athlete and some don't. It is our hope at Atheltes Equation to diseminate the information we believe that will give athletes of all ages, skill levels and the coaches, Athletic Trainers, and parents who support them in their endevours. As one of the Co-Founders and the CEO of this company I truely believe that this venture is going to be the forerunner for Sports Performance Training information. The Athletes Equation is a network of sites to utilize the World Wide Web to create a internet community focused on gaining the most benificial Sports Performance Training information. The Athletes equation has a YouTube Channel, Facebook Group, MySpace site, and an Online Forum. The Athletes Equation is currently focused on providing information from our linked websites and through articles written by our contributing athures. In the near future we will be providing products, Seminars, and training programs. To learn more or if you are interested in contributing to the Atheltes Equation email solutions@athletesequation.com.

Ullucci Weightlifters Compete & Win at Atlantic States Open
On February 17th Myself and on of the Lifters I have help train competed at the Atlantic States Open Championships in Lynn, MA. The lifter whom I am the second coach for is Brian Partington and he competed in his first ever Olympic Weightlifting Competition. He placed first in the 56 kg weightclass. He was able to successfully lift all three of his Snatch attemps and all three of his Clean & Jerks to go six for six. Going six for six is quite an accomplishment for any weightlifter in competition but to do it in your first meet is truely remarkable. Also Brian cam 3 kg away from qualifiying for the Collegeiate National Championships. Brian is a student at Bridgewater State College and is currently competing for their club team. I competed in the 105+ Kg weightclass. Although the class was depleated because many of the lifters skipped this competition to prepare for the US Nationals in a little over a week. I posted my lowest total in competition to date but was able to lift just enough to take the 105+ first place trophy.I was very pleased and excited for Ullucci Weightlifting Clubs first competition under my tutalige. I hope that these championships are just the start of many. If you are interested in lifting for Ullucci Weightlifting please email me a jprice@risportsmed.com.
Next up for the Ullucci Weightlifters is a competiton on April 13th at Sacred Heart University in Conneticut.
Picture at the right is of Brian Partington in the rack position of his final clean of the day. He is a 56kg lifter and finished with a Personal Record 68 kg Clean and Jerk. Which is almost 1 1/4x Brian's body Weight.

Do I Need to Supplement with Protien?
A question I get a lot with the individuals I work with is this, “Should I take a Protein shake?” . Adding supplements to ones diet has gotten out of control. People are supplementing when they don’t need to and people that need to don’t. There are so many different types of supplementation out their it can be confusing even to the professionals. A lot of times we get away from the basics of nutrition and make things much more difficult than they need to be.
Being that this is a strength and conditioning newsletter and protein is the building block of muscle, we will focus on it. Now lets get simple, the Recommended Daily allowance for protein is .8g per kg of body weight. To figure out your body weight in kg divide your bodyweight in pounds by 2.2 and this gives you your weight in kgs. So for the average 200 pound person you would need roughly 73g of protein a day. Now some people achieve this and some don’t. So to make it simple you need to follow your diet by writing down everything you take in over the course of the day. When possible take down the serving size information from the food packaging. If you don’t know that information do a google search for “nutritional information of food” and several sites will come up that will give you info on the nutritional composition of food. Then total up the grams of protein you are taking in. Do you meet the recommended allowance, are you under or over. Now .8g per kg of Body weight is the allowance for the average person. If you are an athlete or an active adult you need to increase that amount to 1.2-1.7b per kg of BW. Take that same 200 pound person and they will need a range of about 108-155 g of protein.
So do the math, track your diet, and answer your question. If you are not getting enough protein and you are an athlete or active adult then yes you may want to consider protein supplementation. If you are getting enough through your diet alone than you don’t need to supplement with protein. Yes, it is that simple.
