ALONE... RELENTLESS... DRIVEN FROM WITHIN.

"He who gains victory over other men is strong;

but he who gains victory over himself is all powerful" - Lao Tzu

on the importance of video analysis...

taking the time to record your efforts and put yourself under the microscope in order to analyze, critique, and tear apart your actions is necessary in order to understand how you move. from there the time must be invested to learn what steps can be taken to improve. only after an honest self assessment and application of knowledge will the dividends reveal themselves. at that point one can begin to experience improved control, more efficient movement of loads thru time and space, and increased rate of motion.

STANDARD PROCEDURE 10.16.10

simple yet effective. heavy swings mixed with the ultimate body weight movement and the new 30lb ball resulted in a nasty combination with nowhere to hide.

THEORY APPLICATION 9.28.10

unscoreable, this side of total reps or sets, this scenario is largely impossible to replicate for the pure fact that the order and proportion of work is an unknown and inconsistent factor.

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN 9.29.10

strategy plays a much larger role in the execution of work than one would think. there comes a point where fuel management and pacing will result in faster results. knowledge of personal strengths and weaknesses is vital.
