5/1/13 Wednesday May 1, 2013 (Training with Kevin)


Woke up late and dead tired - no time for joint mobility.

6:15am - Kettlebell warm up ("Standard")

1/2K halos - 8kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)
1/2K pullover - 12 kg, 5X each leg

1/2K halos - 12kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)
1/2K pullover - 16 kg, 5X each leg
Roll to press (TGU start) - shoulder cam shafts, each arm

6:40am - Training session with Kevin

We basically worked a bunch of Primal Move stuff and focused on trying to open up the shoulders and other body parts.  I liked the Primal Move work and have a cheat sheet to work off of at home.

We worked light TGUs with a 16.  Huge focus on technique and I got all sorts of cues from Kevin.

Locking out arm all the way through the movement.  Serious issues noted on left side.
Finding the right elbow position on the down arm.  Really have to be a column.
Stretching and reaching the down leg. Push through the heel.
On returning to the start position, "pushing" off arm into ground.

8:00am - Finish

I have all sorts of things to work on in the TGU, and I thought I had it dialed in.  Kevin pointed out quite a few mobility issues with the left side stuff and gave me a lot to think about. Looks like it is naked getups and TGUs with a 16 for awhile, pausing at each point in the movement.  Going to be under load for a long time with the 16, so it will be like using heavier weights.  I have to dial this movement in as it will be hugely beneficial for mobility AND strength when I dial it in.
