What’s the #1 excuse offered when a man is EH’d? My guess is the time of day. A close second must be “I’m not in good enough shape.” That may well be correct, but NOT coming out won’t change his condition. Excuses not withstanding, injury can side line man who is otherwise ready and willing to post. That’s where the Injured Reserve comes into play. We had 3 for IR that did their own thing following Warmarama. I saw stretching and exercises that I suspect were part of a rehab plan for a shoulder and a hip. Some physical therapists will say the resting is really doing less than what you may do otherwise, as opposed to doing absolutely nothing. These men are choosing to maintain the schedule a habit of exercise. According to research I'm making up to support my opinion, these men are 92% more likely to continue to exercise than those who interpret rest as doing nothing.
