“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”- Isaiah 43:16, 18-19

 

WEDNESDAY 081231

Fight Gone Bad!

Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20″ box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Things to look for in this workout! Intensity, Intensity,and Intensity!!!!

Great form will decrease with intensity. We want to have both. How hard will you push yourself to have both? Full extension on all of the movements are key for work capacity. If you decrease the full range of motion you are cheating yourselves!

Going overhead!

“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”- Luke 2:16-20

The first step through the sludge of stretching and flexibility is to clearly understand the terminology involved. Often the definitions of flexibility and related terms are remarkably flexible. Unfortunately, the degree of flexibility of a term’s meaning is proportional to the term’s usefulness: The less precise the definition, the less useful the term. To avoid confusion, we’re going to clearly define a few terms for the purposes of this discussion.

Flexibility: The degree to which a muscle can be extended beyond its resting length, which will have a positive relationship with the range of motion of the associated joint(s).

Range of Motion: The degree to which the body can move about a given joint.

Stretching: The set of several methods of increasing flexibility.

Hypermobility: More often called Joint Hyper-mobility. Decreased joint integrity and excessive

possible joint movement as a result of congenitally defective connective tissue development.

Acquired Hyper-mobility: Non-congenital joint hyper-mobility arising from injury or joint abuse.

Minimal Flexibility: The minimal degree of flexibility required to properly achieve and maintain

specified positions and ranges of motion.

Optimal Flexibility: The degree of flexibility for a particular pursuit that allows the greatest performance

and provides the greatest injury protection possible.

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”- Luke 2:11-14

There has been much written about the “best” set and rep scheme without anybody really defining what is being talked about. When discussing the number of reps, we are really talking about the amount of time. If someone states that five sets of five is the best set and rep scheme, are they not really saying the best way to work muscle is the two and half minutes of work broken up into 30 second segments? When they then prescribe three sets of ten for another exercise, are they then not saying this muscle needs three minutes of work broken up into three 60 – second segments? Why should it change for different exercises? What are we talking about here? The fact of the matter is that muscles don’t count reps. The majority of the research has indicated that one to three all out sets are equally effective.

Frequently, we encounter individuals whose doctor or chiropractor has told them not to squat. In nearly every instance this is pure ignorance on the part of the practitioner. When a doctor that doesn’t like the squat is asked, “by what method should your patient get off of the toilet?” they are at a loss for words.

In a similarly misinformed manner we have heard trainers and health care providers suggest that the knee should not be bent past 90 degrees. It’s entertaining to ask proponents of this view to sit on the ground with their legs out in front of them and then to stand without bending the legs more than 90 degrees. It can’t be done without some grotesque bit of contrived movement. The truth is that getting up off of the floor involves a force on at least one knee that is substantially greater than the squat.

Our presumption is that those who counsel against the squat are either just repeating nonsense they’ve heard in the media or at the gym, or in their clinical practice they’ve encountered people who’ve injured themselves squatting incorrectly.

It is entirely possible to injure yourself squatting incorrectly, but it is also exceedingly easy to bring the squat to a level of safety matched by walking. In the accompanying article we explain how that is done.
