Note from John: I’ve got a lot of articles half-written, and just haven’t had the time to finish them. I decided to shoot a quick instructional video to hold you over while I’m moving my family across town this week. With the impending arrival of Siffer-baby, we needed another bedroom to hold all the [...]

3/23/09 – Clubbell Practice and Test Day I spent some time today practicing with my 15 lb clubbells, doing swipes and mills mostly – not pushing into exertion. My milling is virtually effortless, which I attribute to regular practice and good execution of the 7 Key Components of Structure. This afternoon, I also did a hammer swing test to see how fast I could perform 100 repetitions – 50 clockwise, and 50 counter-clockwise. Here’s the footage I filmed: 100 Hammer Swings with 15 lb Clubbell I used the quad hop burpee exercise in yesterday’s Moderate Intensity Session (training journal here). One of my readers, Kevin, asked about the details of this burpee exercise, so I filmed a quick tutorial. Quad Hop Burpee Exercise Note: BodyFlow is no longer available. It has been superseded by the Tactical Gymnastics Program. QUESTION: john For this Friday, I have a fun video to share with you. I think this is a marvelous display of human movement by my coach, Scott Sonnon, the creator of the Circular Strength Training system. I’m sure you’ll agree that this is beautiful, artistic movement – yet the purpose is not to impress others – this is not a show, it’s just a part of Sonnon’s daily personal practice. This clip is from a documentary Scott filmed about Prasara Yoga. I haven’t spoken about yoga much on my blog, but you should know that I practice regularly and use the techniques Scott teaches. Prasara Body-Flow yoga is one of three ‘wings’ in the CST system and it has literally changed the way I train dramatically. Its inclusion in my program has ensured my consistent gains in progress as well as protect myself from injury, among many other things that are beyond this short blog post. Prasara Yoga is like the glue that holds the rest of my training program together. There is so much benefit to be had from practicing Prasara Yoga, but for now, I just want you to enjoy this short video.
