31 March 2017 -Moving Forward after the Seminar.

Because Shooting is important.....

What is happening next?

The seminar really was a strong point for me the last few months. Now that it is over I am taking the lessons learned from last Sunday, applying them and looking for a few other strong points to build toward.

The Seminar made me take stock of a few things. My mobility still sucks. I can and will continue to work on it. In fact that is ALL i have done this week. Mobility, Lax ball work, stretching and bar reps.

- Bar reps i will be doing for the next few weeks. I need to hammer home the new movement patterns in my brain so they become natural. Squat and DL can easily be done in my basement so no excuse not to do them through out the day. Bench will require some trips to the gym, no big deal it needs to happen.

-The Bar reps simply by performing the movement hundreds of times should also carryover into my mobility. The easiest way to lose human movement is by not using it. Ergo doing the movement (correctly) should rebuild the smoothness and ease in completely the movement as the muscles and nervous readjust. Depth on my squat will be the one issue that may require the "outside" work to help it along.

-In regards to depth, I have figured something out in the past weeks since the seminar. Swede talked about taking air into the lower belly. Explained in the video below. What I have discovered with the state of things, when i get it right I have no issues getting below parallel while squatting. Now i just to keep hammering home the technique.

I have gotten back on the mats. So BJJ is back in my regular rotation, nothing crazy, just back in my life. Jits is awesome for body awareness, strength and conditioning your body as a whole unit.

Yoga daily for 10-20 min to start my day. This is more just an organized way to make sure i stretch things out in conjunction with my hip and glute activation stuff. I also find it reminds me to do my core activation work, which in turn makes everything better all day long.

Body weight sessions and Bar reps as I mentioned earlier. I may do some Bodybuilder style lifting once or twice a week. Lifting weights will not be the focus, building endurance and pound for pound strength in multiple planes is the key for now.

I bought 5th for Powerlifting by Swede Burns (yeah if you reading this Swede I only JUST bought it). For the next month I will study the book as I get my prepped for regular lifting in May. I have picked my first meet post surgery.  9 Sept 2017. This will be first full meet ever. This will be my first registered meet.

Thanks for reading.
