ok guys.
what you think of my "creative PT" today?
i don't do this without a reason.
the squats are meant to develop thigh strength.
important for muscular bursts of power to do moves like swipes.
the jumping onto the ledge thing has 3 reasons.
firstly, the jumping part is for the same reason as the squats. thigh strength.
by right, i shouldn't even be doing them due to my worn knee ligaments.
but i'll do it if it makes the crew do it along with me.
then, the landing helps you develop ankle strength.
you should be aiming to land silently, on the balls of your feet.
this will help you in footwork, swipes and flips.
lastly, the rolling part will develop back flexibility by forcing you to arch your spine.
it'll promote general upper body flexibility, depending on exactly how you land and roll.
the couple push ups aren't for fun either.
i know that if you do push ups quickly, or stabbed, they're MUCH easier.
i'm a scout. i more or less did stabbed push ups for years.
my original intent was to do this in 1 whole circle.
but i dont think you guys can take it.
i dont even think i can.
the difference is that i'm crazy enough to try.
anyway...
doing it this way forces you to do it slowly.
slower=better.
and it also allows you to bond with ur partner.
zen, you totally defeated the purpose of this.
if you cant do it, we will make you.
even if we have to literally carry you, we will make you.
we are not leaving anybody behind.
also, i've got quite a few surprises lined up.
i'm sure you guys will enjoy them, in a way.
some are from the army, some are not.
i promise you guys a great time.
and if any1 wants to be more involved in anything, be it jersey design or PT or anything else, just ask.
suggestions are always welcome.
