This is great Geoffn. I stopped by to read, “The Coolest New Thing I’ve Learned….” and was clicking around when I came across this article. Listen to your body? Many people don’t and just keep grueling along like you mentioned in the beginning of the page. I’ve talked with Mike T and Adam about biofeedback. Plain and simple – if you apply it, it works. You and this article are just another example. Take care.

Thank you, you are leading the way Geoff.
Weighed today, lost 8 pounds in last month on swings and get-ups. Still clinging to the TGU, I like it and the value goes beyond my current neuromuscular understanding. I see and feel alot of changes that feel strong and natural so going to keep working on the form. Took paint off my 24 kg, started sanding, learning gymboss programing preparing to countdown to VO2 max time. I’ll supply my own oxygen mask.

PJ – Thanks for stopping by! What’s new with you?

Mike – Right on.

2 of my final HIT workouts prior to going into the gymboss VO2 world in Feb. Dips went from 12 bw to 8 w 45lbs in three weeks, not herculean but good improvement for me. Added 100 pounds in 10 rep leg press same time frame. Dropping all that stuff except dips in one week.

TGU 24 kg 5 reps l/r arm “press to elbow” my sticking point
TGU 24 kg 6 reps l/r arm – still working on staying vertical better and sucking in my shoulder

Geoff,
Thank you for sharing your gain from following the coaching you provided to us. You must feel like superman given all the improvement and how much better you feel.

TGU 5 reps 24kg roll to press, press to elbow with kbell in right hand.
Left lower abdominals not wanting to contribute their full worth, so activating them first to let them know the work is coming.

TGU 5 reps pausing in various positions to work on components of the position, I was surprised I could pause or bridge up and down without smoking myself. That unto itself, gaining more control was a good sign for me. Kettlebells from the Ground Up is on my desk so I am trying to mimic the positions…at least I know the material is pure;) Enjoying the practice.

Awesome update Geoff! Wise words for all of us to follow.

Yes, everyone MUST listen to their body. The trick is that this is a skill that must be learned and using biofeedback gives everyone the tool to do it. As you experience, strength goes up.

I truly believe the body wants and needs to be strong and healthy.

Rock on
