Make the suck, less suck One of things I have taken from Coach Sheppy is his love for the suck. I can see the old days of rugby and university still ever present in his programming; sometimes you just have to get out there and bleed (hyperbole). This doesn’t mean you throw form and quality out the door (I will crush you); this means you have to play along your edges in order to make some gains. When you understand your limits, you can actually play within/without them. Take note of your age, body composition, injuries, and overall mobility restrictions (yes, you too, hypermobile people with excessive laxity). Open your eyes, take a step back, breathe, and then jump back on the field. Some of you are just learning how to play the game. Some of you have been in it for a hot minute. Get the right tools for the job: -Shoes that promote development and a feel for your surroundings. -Analysis that corrects your posture and alignment. -Gear that aids in reduced impact and increases circulation. -A rope that isn’t gnarled up and abused. -Hydration in the right amount. Now you’re on the top of your game. You are moving the right way and you start to push your boundaries. Like a quarterback, you survey the options, audible the plays, and move comfortably in the pocket. Pushing longer, tougher outputs, you crush what’s ahead of you. Yelling TIME and TIME again until it’s not even cool anymore. Sometimes you feel unstoppable no matter how brutal the weeks are coming at you. You are the definition of fitness… …and then you get SACKED This can happen even to the ones with the highest awareness (Chest?). This can happen to the under trained (Chest?). Maybe you drank someone under the table. Maybe you crushed a 6-pack of Orange San Pallengrino. Maybe you took 6 weeks off for a leisure vacation. Maybe you disregarded any concept of quality movement patterns. Maybe your just not very good. Make the suck less. Fill the gaps in your training: Lube up you joints and healthy inflammation with fish oil Fill those holes in your diet with quality absorbable vitamins Take a quality protein that isn’t filled with garbage. Rebuild scar tissue and substitute for unreasonable NSAIDS Juice up your performance with some smooth tasting fish oil All of these are available at your friendly neighbourhood Pro Shop.
