WHITEBOARD – 8 September 2011
Workload:
Push-Press
3-3-3-2-1-1Then:
3 Rounds of:
5 Weighted Chin-ups (Pick a weight that makes you struggle with completing the 5th rep of the set, but that you can do unbroken)
40 Kettlebell Swings 1.5/1 pood (Full Extension)
Notes: Take note of how the body feels. I want everyone to write down one consistent problem they may have with training. It could revolve around poor movement quality, a glaring weakeness in a particular movement or time domain. Pick a weakness and write it down. If you are doing something actively to address it, write what your game plan is. Hope to hear from everyone.

Consistent Problem:
Deadhang anything. I always feel that something is off when i do strict, non-kipping movements. Possibly bad technique, possibly weak stabilizers, etc. Something i need to work on by focusing on said movements.
Top Weakness:
1) Flexibility: need to become more systematic and consistent on stretching.
2) Skill on many movements – oly movements that require a dipping catch
3) Joint and muscle recovery – poor recovery from just one day can ruin and mess up several days/weeks. Usually knee, shoulder, and elbow for me depending on the program. Likely #1 and #2 are related.
What I’ve been doing:
Last oly class helped me a bunch. Was a start.
Inconsistent stretching at home
Being patient
What I think I need to do:
Systematic and consistent stretches at gym and home
Staying patient
More oly classes
Learn and better equipped for for join recovery
Take rest days when recovery is needed.
