It's about movement.....


...and linkage...linkage and movement. Tuesdays training was an example movement. Continuous movement. The weights were not heavy. The movements were not difficult. Okay, the KB flips were a little touchy for those that did not want to break a nail. What we felt was not gross motor movement muscle soreness, but the linkages that connected the movements. Strengthening the linkage between movement patterns contributes to a balance of power. Under fatigue the body will take the path of least resistance-the easy way out. If the linkage is not strong, injury can leverage itself at a vulnerable point in the movement. The fluid movements with tension (load,weight) on a stable surface is an easy way to train difficult areas within your structure.
