The older I get, the more I realize the power of always having something on the calendar you're excited about. It can really be anything. Difficult physical challenge, big project, fun trip, ambitious goal, whatever. It creates energy and gets you through the lows. Life hack.
People don't realize how absurd this view actually is.
A camera. On a robot. On Mars.
Built by humans on a planet 140 million miles away, launched on a rocket, landed using a sky crane, and now driving across an alien desert taking pictures so detailed you can count the rocks.
100 years ago, your great-grandparents thought airplanes were a miracle.
You are scrolling past Mars on your phone.
@JimRussellSD @JonAndJim So sorry to hear about your loss Jim. Will definitely miss hearing you on the radio! Good luck on your new endeavors and try not to mess up any Philadelphia press conferences!
General Strength Preparation Done Right
1. Safety. Remember: “Do no harm!”
2. Simplicity.
3. Teaching basic movement skills. Squatting, hinging, bracing, crawling, jumping, falling, running, etc.
4. All-aroundness. A mix of static and dynamic loads, a mix of energy pathways, a mix of loading directions.
5. Strength carryover to as many applications as possible. GSP’s focus on a wide range of attributes does not excuse using what Mark Reifkind calls “random acts of variety.” Seek maximally efficient exercises, which give the biggest bang for the buck.
