Catchin' Up

Been awhile since the last post because the sessions have been very similar. May sound boring but they have been effective. Here's the breakdown...lots of BUTGU, gob squats, swing variations, skips/jumps, and running. Also my prep work at the beginning.

On a bit of a different but kind of the same note, I went to visit a Z trainer in Chicago. A 1-2 hour session turned into a little over 4 hours and was just a great experience. I think this stuff does a great job of getting things moving right so someone can then layer some real strength on top. I'm looking into the R and I phase cert because real deal is the Z system and how the drills are used after a person has been assessed, not just going through the drills blindly. Anyway, good stuff and I look forward to learning more.

Wanna try some thing ridiculously hard? Interlock your fingers and bring the elbows as close as possible on the rack and then walk heel to toe. Just try it and let me know what you think. :-)

That's it, finished with a 10 min run.
