"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Overhead rotators
this is the start and finish position of the overhead rotator ( which I do without the horn). I use either a db or a band.
geoff you know I used to do that I do some of that in my joint mobility warmups and some stuff with the body blade
As far as progressing to just integrated patterns I used to think that was correct but now it seems I have to use more of the conjugate approach and keep working all the aspects similtaneously.at least for some bodyparts. When I back off all the isolated stuff for my shoulders I seem to have more problems.
for my knee and back it seems the more integrated approach( swings snatches etc) works best.
I think its primarily because i essentially have no stability in the right shoulder. the capsule was shredded when I did the dislocation as wellas the posterior ligaments. just way to hypermobile. levator and teres just get overworked badly trying to compensate for lack of basic stability.
when I keep the rear delts and overheads( isolated) in, as well as the snatch holds and waiters walks and snatches(integrated) it works better I think. I havent been doing them and my shoulder was just tightening up again regularly. as soon as I put them back in it relaxed.

Rif,
do you use PNF diagonal patterns progressing from isolated to integrated?

geoff first sentence should be:
'geoff I used to do that more than now.'
"When I back off all the isolated stuff for my shoulders I seem to have more problems."
Interesting. Any theories on why that is?

proof enough for me!
