I'm glad I do the R Bear on a Monday and Friday. I need the days in between to recover...

One to one instruction with SFG 90 mins covered swing and TGU. My hip hinge far too shallow in part due to hamstring tightness. Need to pattern the movement with lower weight to work on the cues.

Working with a SFG coach and working hard to nail down my technique.. lots to work on.
 
Trying to Shahaf. I'm really glad that I hooked up with an SFG. It's difficult to analyse your own performance and I video my sets and send them over for feedback. Currently working on the 24kg swing and TGU. Trying to work on mobility and the hip hinge as well. I had been chasing sinister in 2016 but I had been neglecting technique in the quest for bigger weights. To be honest the swing feels like a new movement now. Plugging in Flexible Steel and OS as well..
 
Flexible Steel Frog.

25/2/17
Back in the gym first time in a while. I'm sore from working on my swings and mobility so went light. I'm not following a barbell program at the moment as I'm focusing on my program from my SFG.
Bench 5 by 3 90 kg focusing on external rotation
Squat 60kg 5 by 3 screwing feet into the ground.
Deadlift 60kg 5 by 3 focusing on technique.
Lunges/pushup/ pull up
1-5
Did lunges with 2 20kg dumbells and worked on stability. Slowed all movements down. Did mobility work after every set.
Slowing down movements exposes imbalances.
