6:00am - Training with Kevin
Warmed up with some foam rolling. We then started off by doing some Cossack stretching using a bar, a band, and really got into the adductors which was excellent. That will be a good stretch to add in for mobility purposes. I felt like it got my hips opened up pretty well. We then focused on using the wall to set up for practicing the Hinge, bodyweight only, really making sure to hinge straight back, not down like a squat. This was a good exercise to help re-train the hinge movement, which was the overriding focus of the day, getting my hinge back and improving it. Video I have taken of snatching and swinging lately is showing that I can get much deeper in the hinge, load it better, taking stress off of the rest of the body and particularly avoiding trying to snatch and swing the bell using too much arm. We then practiced 2H and 1H deadlifts with the wall to train the movement with load. We did some get-ups, and then started practicing 2H and 1H swinging with the 24kg to drill in that hinge. Very good results. We then practiced hike snatch park drills, which help reinforce maximum power for 1 rep. We then snatched a bit, and it felt good and powerful. We then did some double cleans with the 24s, felt great, that is a power ballastic that will be in this training cycle. We finished by practicing some push presses with double 24s, also felt great, that will be a strength lift for this cycle. Finished with some rolling. All in all, a very good day.
7:30am - Finish
