Busy Two Weeks

Well its been a couple of weeks since ive written anything but I have been really busy with players and trying to prepare for a couple of presentations I have coming up. Last saturday I did a presentation on strength and conditioning for tennis players at the California USPTA convention. It all went off very well with a lot of attendees that had great questions and some good insights with their own training. My personal training although a little inconsistent has been progressing well. Still doing the ETK ROP with added pullups and core work and on variety days getting in some intervals and deadlifts. Still loving the Z health, some how making my body feel better and better.

Moving along

Second week of workouts since surgery and things are feeling much better. I have been very good (unlike me) and have been slowly building back up in weights as not to get injured or overwork and lose motivation. This week was all ETK ROP with a light bell 30lbs with pull ups and core work, planks, bridges and did a full compliment of get ups, still a little rough getting up with the left wrist on the ground don't quite have the range of motion or strength yet. On the variety days doing ( no laughing) dead lifts at 150 lbs in 5x5s with pistols mixed in and intervals on the bike. Been also doing alot more Z work and the body is feeling better and better. Reading Mike Nelsons blog and MCs geekfit blog both have great stuff to say.

First Post of 09

Hope every ones New Years and holidays were great, the family and I had a terrific time. After some time to get my workouts straitened out I feel like I am back on track getting back to doing ETK ROP on a regular basis, and started doing deadlifts and pistols again on the variety days. Along with that I have been getting back into doing some Z-health exercises. Many thanks to MC from England who is a RKC Z practitioner and a PH.D (geekfit.com) for her great insight into my glute medius problem. She turned me on to Leslie Cordova who is a Z -health practitioner in Long Beach who did an assessment with me and gave me some high payoff drills to do and has really made a difference. If you haven't had the chance to check out Z -health I strongly recommend it.
