THURSDAY (JULY 3rd) EXTRA TRAINING


Why were the shoulders so sore after Tuesdays training? The swings intensity is focused on the bottom portion of the movement. The drive. The bell coasts at the apex or anything above the chest or nipple line. In order to launch the bell we need to 'drive' the full range and build speed through the apex of the movement. It is still just a swing. The footing should have stayed the same. There should not have been a balance problem. No extra steps after the launch. Nothing extra but drive. The lower back is exposed on the extension. The hips snapping forward will support the lower back only if the glutes are tight. If you stayed true to the movement the discomfort would be minimal the following day. If your focus was to "launch at all costs" for distance...then I can see where your body decided to bark at you. Over all a very solid drill and very well done. Today we will meet at 6-6:15pm along side the community center. It will be cooler today with cloud coverage. See you then!!
