Seattle Mariners – ‘Look Ma, NO WEIGHTS’!

You may have heard about it.

The Seattle Mariners have removed their weight room. All that remains are a few benches and light dumbbells.

This is very similar to my studio where I train ALL my athletes. The Mariners obviously have a little bit more money than me, so they have Keiser equipment all over. I simply have handicap bars on the wall with flexible resistance bands attached. That’s it!

Here is the article from the Seattle Times where Dr. Marcus Elliott explains what they have started this year. There is also a video, but it is lenghty. Mariners New Weight Room

Kuddos to the Mariners for stepping up to the plate to show the world that the old days of just ‘hitting the weight room’ is NOT the way to drastically improve athletic performance at the same time prevent injury.
