Il Maestro Pai Mei by AndreaHaine

So the other day I’m explaining to one of my beginner students about maintaining a straight wrist by diagonally gripping the kettlebell when pressing it. After demonstrating this with a lighter kettlebell for the purpose of practice I then watched him press it. What did he do? Immediately he did exactly what I told him NOT to do.

He gripped the bell horizontal at the handle instead of diagonally which in turn caused his wrist to break back and he immediately started feeling pain at the forearm. I quickly made some adjustments with some simple coaching cues and he was able to correct it. I just looked at him and asked “Is that how I showed you?” and he replied “No.” You can imagine my next response. 😉

Bob's hosting a New Year's Eve party... by tomo_moko

Ok Ok, so I know I’ve been out for a week or so and slacking on the ole blogging scene. Well no worries because I’m still alive and kicking. I wished I had some reasonable explanation as to why I slowed down on getting some posts out last week like I was out roaming the streets of Atlanta dressed up like a bat taking out bad guys with the usual super hero ass kicking justice that you would like to believe.

Yep, that’s exactly what was happening! Ok, I’ll let you believe that if you want to. Anyways, I just took the last few days off to recharge the batteries, but now I’m ready to hit the ground running. So let’s talk about turning your strength training program up to awesomeness level. I think I might have a few tips to help you out in that department.

Speed Strength…The Competition Killer!

Speed by lokiv7

I find it interesting that every puffy chest with an i-pod shuffle, or whatever that damn device is called, seems to be the “expert” trainer or strength coach in many athletic and fitness environments. I mean when you get sick you go to the doctor, if you need the brakes fixed on your car you hire a automotive technician, and if you have to defend yourself in court you get a lawyer. Now having said all of this it still amazes me that there are still folks that are either serious about competing or getting in shape and continue to believe that they can master the development and implementation of their own strength and conditioning program.

I mean how is hiring professional help with your strength program any different than any of those other services I just mentioned especially if you have an important need for it? This is even more true when examining the development of speed strength when looking at what you should be working on to compete in a sport.
