Training for memory

Man do I feel good.

Been getting plenty of rest and recovery.
My strength and power has gone through the roof. 
My Skill sets are increasing like a whole new me.


Since adopting the train the nervous system for maximal output method I feel I have really began to understand my skills even more. 

My 720 outside crescent is about 20 degrees off so it will come soon
My double back is within reach
My Rudy is doing so well I feel that probably after one more session I will be throwing them outside.

Strength wise I decided to test my power lifting skills and see where I was at with that.
My dead lift is at 375lbs and my back squat is at 245lbs and my current weight is 167lbs.
so far so good and I know that those number will increase with a bit of training my nerves and muscles. I am pretty happy with my results considering I have done very little weight work in my training regime.  It just goes to show that you can truly accomplish great things with just body weight exercise and not putting a limit on what you know your max is.  However, now that I know my max I am going to break through those barriers like none other.


Also I am still training my isometric holds such as levers, iron crosses, planches and flags.  All of them feel much stronger and my free standing handstand has improved greatly.  I have been adding weight to my pulling exercises and my dips to see if it helps with breaking through some plateaus.

As far as Break Dancing goes my power moves are getting better every time.  My flair is starting to make better sense and my air flair is showing signs of possible existence(I can do one crappy one.) 

I have been interested in making tricking combos recently as I have never really had any that I feel are strictly tricking.  I usually have one tricking move and then 3 tumbling moves and I intertwine them.  I enjoy the kicking element a lot and it opens a lot of doors for new skill development.


Nutrition wise I invested in a multi vitamin  right now I am using Living Green Liquid Gel Multi for men.  I like it.  Soon I will invest in a shake powder again.  I got a hold of Jujimufu from www.Trickstutorials.com and he gave some direction on where to go to get some good quality customized shake blends.  www.Truenutrition.com   


Like I said I feel great and I have had a lot of opportunities arrive for me to explore.  More on those in the next post perhaps though.  I also have been doing a lot of reflection and writing to deliver better education through teaching.  See you all at Sunset Saturday this weekend sat 3 to 6 pm meet on ash and 5th st in tempe going to be fun.

One armed monkeys and online coaching

My strength training on my as for handstand press ups has shown a great improvement and my double back tuck is getting more powerful. Just got to keep the progressions strong and soon will have it down.

In Tuesday's MATrix class as ASU one of students came back after her injury. She could only use one arm though and so I decided to turn the situation into a great experience for everyone. I decided that all the Parkour for the day would be done with the dominant hand not available. Everyone was a great sport and the class was very enjoyable. I think it was interesting how with one arm it wasn't the one we were using that was getting tired it was the one we weren't using because it was stuck in a position and began to lock up and get stiff.

It's going to be great reuniting with some friends and turning a new chapter in my life.


Also to all practitioners and students remember if you ever need help with learning a skill feel free to do the following: if I do not have a tutorial already made for it ask me to make one and I will, or if you are working on a skill but are having trouble with it and need advice get video of you attempting the move from 3 angles and send the footage to me.  I will reply with a some drills or advice on how to work out the issues that may be causing the hardship. Please send messages to my YouTube account or email at movementconnections@hotmail.com

In place of high pedagogy

The more I try to figure out what I am going to do with everything I know the more confused I get. The road block I keep running into is that I need to have levels and a scalable model for each body type. Parkour, acrobatics, break dance, and functional fitness is a lot of stuff. I really love what I do but if I want to make it a career I am going to need to take it to the next level as a life practitioner of pedagogy and practice.

Training has been great lately I am going to be adding some supplements to my diet again soon. It's been years since I had supplementation as part of my practice and I want to revisit it. The barefoot practice is coming along great as well. When I actually do put shoes on I feel like I'm walking on a cloud. I'm getting closer to filming my big demo reel. I just need to get a few more skills down.

Got a couple of surprises up my sleeve I will reveal them soon.

week in review

This week was all about training only for about one hour in each session and to keep my reps low but solid. 

I have never flipped, spun, or kicked better then this week due to this method.

I warm up for about 15 to 20 minutes with dynamic and active stretching

then I go into the main part of my training session where I pick two or three none related skills and only do about 5 to 7 of them taking plenty of rest in between so I can be fresh every time. 

I end my session with some heavy weight conditioning and light stretch .

After just one week of doing this everything has become better (flexibility, speed, precision) 

After I get my goals accomplished I will be going back into a strengthening period but I am in a dynamic skill period right now.

I will be posting my skills as I slowly land each one of them on my Youtube channel.   www.Youtube.com/movementconnections
