Katie Dowd of The Daily Cal sent me this interesting article from the San Francisco Chronicle where incoming Cal freshman Tony Renda has a long standing relationship with controversial and Barry Bonds former trainer Greg Anderson that dates back to 8th grade. Renda stated to the Chronicle the following “I think he’s the best trainer in the area, the best in California and the best in baseball, he understands the game and what muscles you need.

When Anderson was in prison, Renda would write to Anderson to get advice on workouts and other ways to help his training.
