Movement Diary: THU 02/11/17 - Movement Therapy
Full body movement, Go with the flow. Anterior pelvic tilt/si joint upslip work. Glute strengthening, horizontal pulling, vertical pushing, and plenty of core activation into deep forwards folds. Because why not?
To move. To get the blood blowing and the neurotransmitters firing. To free up the joints and feel like a human.
Sunny South Wales. Simply Gym.
Just going with the flow.Ā
Started by alternating between releasing the low back/glutes and hanging from the bar to free up the pelvis and groin thatās been nagging.
Then rolling the calves and quads with a barbell - killer, but really freed things up.
RotationĀ work with the bands and landmine, single and two leg bridge, light front squatting, pullups, horizontal row, dips. Floating through, but keeping one key theme in mind:
With the combo anterior pelvic tilt and pectus chest (a dip in the centre of my little pecs), my ribs tend to flare a little and I lose tension through the core. I think thatās been one underlying factor in many the injuries Iāve picked up in the past, and why Iāve been unable to progress in certain skills as easily as I maybe thought I would.
You lose that core connection, everything falls to shit. The spine isnāt protected, and the extremities therefore donāt have that central support.Ā
So, core connection. Keeping the ribs down and glutes contracted.
Big change in forward fold depth at the end of session. Had a casual play with it, not something I typically train.Ā
But maybe because of the newfound spaceĀ in the quads and that new awareness of the core, managed to get head to knees (Iām usually struggling just sitting up haha).Ā
Still a load of work to do, but itās cool to see that one little tweak in how you approach something can make such a big difference.
What did your training session look like today???
