Coach Eck's Training Session 3/7/13

by Chris Ecklund, MA, CSCS, USAW

Quick Thoughts:

1. Physically exhausted still. Joints a bit achy. Another low volume day. 
2. Noticing numbers are staying reasonably solid and not dropping off much as long as I can get some good soft tissue and warm up sets in.
3. Feeling pretty good on BB Bent Leg Hip Extensions.  I think some of my early struggles with this lift is BB positioning and the first movement off the floor (feeling that I'm pressing through the correct arch).  As long as I pay attention to those two things, the lift feels good and I find not lumbar shearing or stress.

Coach Eck's Training Session 3/1/13

by Chris Ecklund, MA, CSCS, USAW

Quick Thoughts:

1. No strength work today (I already got in 4 days this week, which is plenty for me).
2. Just a fun workout of 6v6 soccer with the Prevail team.  Our games, unfortunately, are reminding me that I am brutally out of "conditioning" shape for soccer.  A little unhappy about that as I know I have more fun when I'm in a bit better condition.  Will have to work on that over the next 2 months.
