Mastery
During the seminar this weekend with Dan John we talked a little bit about mastery. Mastering a movement like the snatch takes thousands of reps. Today, we did about 20 if you count the warm up. You are on your way, but no where near the end, because there is no end. The important thing is to learn to love the process. We intentionally kept you below your max today to allow you to focus on the movement.
With the rowing intervals, my intent was to have you row, then rest the remainder of 2 minutes. Morgan decided to change this to a fixed rest of 2 minutes which was probably much better. 25o m is short enough that you could pretty much go all out. Morgan pointed out that with this short of a distance, it is better to sacrifice a little efficiency (length) in order to spend as much time as possible in the most powerful range of the stroke (the leg and hip drive).
I should have waited until after you had done your row to tell you that. 0.8 seconds. Really?
Well, I would have beaten you by more if I could have. It’s not like I held back thinking that .8 was good enough. My next one was 41.5, then there was a pretty steep drop off on the last two.
This is off topic but I had to share. Although it might help you master self defense.
