Today's practice:
- medium heavy clean & military presses, GTG
- light get-ups - 101 variations, just to half get-up
Can't wait to get back to S&S - but I know that to hurry is not a good strategy. Never mind, I am still getting stronger.
Today's pic: From my ongoing dumbbell research
“How to Lift by One Hand from the Ground to the Shoulder” is Sandow’s first lesson in “Heavy-Weight Exercises” (1994).
Notice few interesting details, such as:
- positioning of the dumbbell - it is just a bit closer to the lifting side, i.e. to the right
- wrist - not straight - already set up for the rack
- use of the non-lifting hand - thumb in and all other fingers out helps to engage lat and all "armpit muscles" better, the whole arm will assist the clean with a push off
Carpet made of leopard skin is however no-no. Fig leaf is optional.
