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.

44 kg swings 11 x 5/5 20 min, 44 kg belt squats 4 x 10, press 115 x 1x 8

 This seemed hard. Bell height on video seems about normal but felt harder than expected. Partly because I'm only 168.4 this morning per...
