8:30am - Training with Kevin
Shocked but the last time Kevin and I were able to train together was March 4 - over a month. That's the way schedules have lined up. Things are back on track and that showed up today in a good way. We started out with some foam roll for tight quads, moved to practicing some get-ups, first 24kg, then 32kg, just roll to elbow. I struggled with the roll to elbow today as we discovered a technique flaw, moving my shoulder on the roll, which is not good. I was not pulling with the off arm, and missed the lift a few times which never happens. Not a strength issue, but technique needs improvement. I will work on this. I need a better connection between the shoulders and hips and that is what the movement trains / reinforces. We moved on to some 2H SW, 1H SW, H2H SW with the 24kg to get warmed up. Played around with foot placement for swings and presses, just reinforced some principles there which was good (wider for ballistics, narrower for presses). Did some C&P with the 32kg, singles and doubles, Kevin really liked how the press looked. Did some SS PR with DB 28kgs, Kevin liked what he saw there, going to put that into training. Did some HSP with the 40kg, that will also be incorporated into training. Moved on then to practicing the Windmill movement, no bell, that is going to be incorporated into training as I will be tested on it at SFG2 in Dallas.
Finished the day with a training session, about 20 minutes or so, of 10 sets of DB 28kgs SS PR, 3/3, followed by HSP 40kg, x3. Very, very solid. A great day and good to be back from NYC.
