Lots of coaches avoid them, others love them. Work hard on the movements that you know how to perform, and perfect them. Take your time, practice diligently and safely on the skills that you lack, yet desire. After years of hard work, you will continue to become a better athlete. Any person can fall victim to the false promises of immediate results. But a seasoned athlete knows true mastery takes a lifetime of practice. Never stop learning. You can do things like pick heavy rocks up as high as you can, or lift a huge log over your head. Push your friends car up a hill for fun. Grab a heavy sand bag and throw it over your shoulder. Sprint up a hill carrying two buckets of water. Or just jump up on tall objects, with a monkey on your back. Have some fun and kick some ass, dude.Matt Wichlinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346112004625342150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848125888379644751.post-66218906254643944572010-05-06T19:34:12.060-04:002010-05-06T19:34:12.060-04:00Thanks Matt, that's a really good summary.

The way I like to train essentially we do a full body power movement, such as snatches or clean and jerks, followed by a strength movement for the lower or upper body, then assistance movements, followed by a conditioner. I could write a book about the specifics of this as it could be much more complex and thoughtful than that. But, that is the problem with a lot of trainees today, they make things more difficult than they need to be. Keep it simple, and strive to move with perfection, add weight, add reps, and be a better person. I'll add more posts about programming in coming posts.Matt Wichlinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346112004625342150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848125888379644751.post-69082190405545789402010-05-06T17:12:46.750-04:002010-05-06T17:12:46.750-04:00lately I have been doing straight sets, but I do s...lately I have been doing straight sets, but I do several warm up sets as well.

I understand that you make your programs by what goals you have at the moment, but do you have any rules that you can share?<br /><br />Edvin, Sweden.Edvinnoreply@blogger.com
