Injuries = Imbalances
Look at injuries as symptoms of imbalances: Weak glutes cause pulled hamstrings. A weak psoas and iliacus leads to pulled quads. Rotator cuff strains come from lack of scapula control. I think we spend way too much time treating symptoms and trying to strengthen the wrong muscles. Shirley Sahrmann says that if you have an injured muscle, you should start looking for a weak synergist. Think about it.

From the ever interesting Mike Boyle:
Not for Every Body
Not everyone is made to squat or clean. I rarely squatted with my basketball players as many found squatting uncomfortable for their backs and knees. It killed me to stop because the squat is a lift I fundamentally believed in, but athletes with long femurs will be poor squatters. It's physics. It took me a while to realize that a good lift isn't good for everybody.

Morning Z
shoulder elbow and wrist this AM. Still working out the issue with my elbow trying to bend while doing overhead shoulder circles. It's a common error but I'm trying to Iron it out. Worked the camshafts thoroughly and the elbow circles at a slow pace. Think i'll add in a few Super Joint drills to the recipe aswell.

Last nights C&J
Delighted with the efforts of last night. Managed to go a full 10 sets of 7 and 3 sets of 5 with the 32's. Not getting as winded as quickly as when I started out and my form isn't as shaky when the clock runs down. Upped the protein in the last week by 10% of total daily calories and not suffering any DOMS today. Doing a light session of stretching and some Z before going at it again tomorrow. I still think I'm on track to get the full 45 mins with the 32's. Dropped down again to the 28kgs and 24kgs for the last 12 minutes last night and improved my sets by 2x5reps.
