Primary Colors...

   It's like a color wheel. There are the basic primary colors and then all the combinations that come from those basic colors. I am sure everyone is tired of hearing me talk about the basics. It has been said that the difference between a good athlete and a great one is their ability to master the basics. Body awareness. Situational awareness. The ability to read or see the field. Anticipate movements or patterns of your opponents. It is all encompassing. I have been watching a large surge in weight use and volume on the national level. All the young trainers and strength enthusiasts are really burning up the KB training. Each one is trying to top the other and claim their position in this emerging industry. The problem is...every week somebody is posting a major injury or surgical set-back. How can this be? I thought the bells were suppose to correct and build such a strong base that we became bullet proof ? Well, they do. The problem is the movement pattern. The people going for the big numbers and personal records are doing so...to their detriment. They haven't spent enough time pounding the basics. Their bodies are taking the easy way out. That's what the body does. It takes the path of least resistance. That path is not the best for the body in most cases. It sends a ripple thru the structure and your most vulnerable spot takes the hit. Now, hit it countless times during multiple VO2 sessions........well, make your appointment now. Today we will start with the basics and move the body forward at a healthy pace.
