Don’t have time to workout because you can’t make it home in time to put on your UnderArmor?  Give us a break!  Buddy rushed in and worked out in his work clothes rather than miss the workout!

Here’s the link that Chris tried to add in the comments earlier.  Matt could fix it so this would work.  I can do this in his absence.

As is our usual following a cert., emphasis on form will be hammered on more and more.  If you’ve had any issue with getting the push jerk or med ball clean please talk to any of the trainers.  The movements were broken down slightly differently this weekend to make them easier to teach and learn.  Matt had already found the push jerk series on his own over the course of the past couple months with excellent success.  The med. ball clean is now taught and executed simpler than we were originally taught from headquarters so we’ll pass that along.  Some of you will appreciate the difference.  It might go into my “do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do” pile until I get the adjusted movement down.  We’ll see. 

As far as the squat goes…this is what we’re looking for in growth -
squats-mod.jpg
For those who ask what we do for core training, this is the foundation movement. Sitting at the bottom of the squat correctly  should wear your erector muscles (those muscles running up and down your back in support of your spine) out.  We’d rather have folks do fewer perfect, harder to do squats than loads of less developed squats.   Where this shows in your regular training would be in any movement that is built off of the squat – front squats, OH squats, the bottom of full cleans, etc. – and you “feel it” in your back.  

See ya’ll soon!
