Virtuosity

Doing the common uncommonly well…this is virtuosity– a good thing to strive for in any aspect of your life. As we apply this to training we demonstrate this quality by practicing perfect functional movement. Functional movement is very safe since it is the natural way the body moves. Lets take the body-weight squats for example. “100 Squats…READY…GO!” As you hustle through this exercise you begin with perfect form, lumbar arch is perfect– facilitating a vertical torso…feet under hips with heels down…just right. Well, as is human nature, when we get tired we get sloppy. The most common failure is loss of lumbar arch– then the weight shifts forward and heels come up…now we got a chain of events that aren’t pleasant– placing shear forces on the spine increasing the chance of injury. That is not what we want! We all have to keep in our heads that perfect form is essential for effective and efficient development. You are training to be BETTER not injured.   This weeks training will have impact on every aspect of your training routine because functional movement is the foundation on which your body is built. You have heard us preach on ‘form’ until we are blue in the face, well…this week we are gonna be sticklers…So, the weights are gonna be lighter and the reps are gonna be higher. You probably will hear as you begin to train “1-1-1-1…” ’til you get it right…Good Stuff!
