See those squares around the DLs and mile times? Yep, PRs. The women's gym record was broke twice today; 275# by Cassy in the AM and then Brie at 300# in the PM. Dustin tied the GR at 485#.[/caption]Obviously the most popular characteristics out of the 10 that we hit are the Strength, Power, Speed and Endurance. The ones that many times get left out are the Balance, Flexibility, Agility, and Coordination. When we do skill type workouts these will usually tap straight into these. However many won't do them or take them serious because they aren't of the normal barbell and running workouts. These skill workouts transfer over into so many other things we do. Isn't it important to have shoulder strength and be able to push strictly from your shoulders? YES! Is it the most efficient way to move weight overhead? NO but we need to be strong in all areas. With funky moves like a Turkish Get-up, it may be hard to see where the "workout" is. It's all easy on the first couple but once you throw it into the mix with some other things under a time frame, now it is much more difficult to keep that bell overhead and stable the whole time as your breathing hard. Keeping your core tight, being able to balance an object under duress is a is something that we do on job sites everyday whether you are a fire fighter, a carpenter or a waitress.
