Notes - Writing this on Friday night. Feeling very good about things, I am greatly encouraged. The chiro visit on Wed was helpful, Jason explained that I have "soft pryamidal paresis" which basically is different tone in the muscles between the front and posterior muscles. This is extremely common. To cut to the chase, stretching my R hip flexor and doing a lot of standing work and balancing on my L leg work directly to offset some of these issues. The R hip flexor stretch tones down my R glute and piforomis, which are over active, and the standing leg work on the L strengthens that leg, and turns on my L glute and hamstring. I have been doing these constantly as well as wall sits, which seem to really fire up the L glute, and this is great. I also took a number of video shots of my training this week, got the thumbs up from Kevin, and the technique looks to be improving particularly on the snatch which is awesome. All in all I feel like things are moving forward this week. I think I can take some real benefits out of what has been a challenging stretch of time for me.
