Day 1 of Recovery Training :)

I woke up this morning in a good mood because #coach_kyle said I'm allowed to train today. I started work at 5.30am, trained a few clients, went back home... had a recovery nap, trained a few more clients...12 noon was training time! Kyle hooked me up with a killer isolation training program, it looked brutal on paper & it lived up to its expectation & was brutal in reality.  The whole session took 1.5 hours & my only rest was 30 seconds between sets. So it was high intensity isolation weight lifting... love it! I did approximately 217897325 reps adjusting the weight constantly (lots of drop sets) on the leg extension & leg curl. Kick backs, dumbbell shoulder press, face pulls, lat pull downs, 45 degree lat pulldowns, incline dumbbell fly's were also part of the program. My body is pumped! My muscles are filled out again (I didn't lose my gains!), I feel lactic like I just did a massive endurance CrossFit workout, my quads & shoulders are back,

Just my luck

There's a small group of us at Moorabbin who have put our lives on hold to give everything we have to becoming the BEST team we can possibly be to make it to Regionals this coming May.  Every February, the CrossFit Open starts. It runs for 5 weeks & every Friday a new workout gets announced - so it's all very secret until then. You can't plan or prepare for it... you just hope your coach has programmed your training right for the past year so that you can complete all the movements and get through the workout. Once you complete the workout (it needs to be judged by an officia

From Scotty Anderson, body building TIP

Here's a TIP for the gym junkies Never over emphasize the negative phase of your reps like dumb arse Uni Student Know it all book worms will tell you to do. Bodybuilding is a marathon If you want to be around whilst all the others are falling around you then feel the muscle feel the connection and find a nice tempo that allows for the PUMP and continued growth Perfect Example of over Emphasizing Negative phase was my all time Fave The Shadow. Muscle Hypertrophy happens under load and volume Negative phase should be controlled but not extreme That is all
