For Chris; RIFGA post

Chris

here is the basic routine I am doing lately, from a Jan post. It is pretty much the same.

Thanks Rif - very helpful.

I do appreciate that this is a routine specific to your own problems, but that - combined with your comment on the last post - is helpful in itself, to see how you address those problems. Hopefully I can learn from that.

Cheers

Chris

chris,

my key focus is to make sure I have,and maintain, as close to neutral position of each joint so that normal ROM is always possible.thats the whole"length/tension" relationship thing. If the musculature on one side of the joint is too tight it pulls on the joint and malpositions it.
stretch the too tight side and strengthen( tighten) the too loose side with corrective exericses.

35 lb 3 Mile ruck,43:49, 14:36 ave pace ( 2nd best)

This was good but hard. Didnt set out to try to break or even duplicate last weeks speed fest but the first mile was FAST  so I went for it ...
