Weeks end recap

Emotions this week: Frustrated, disheartened, unsure, regretful.

 PT Development
Boxing

Boxing training going well, with multiple sessions done this week. Points of interest were pad holding technique, timing/number of reps and explanation of exercises.

Explanation:

  • Ask about injury E.g Jasmine groin, affected running.
  • Explain components engaging core, such as straight jabs (core engaged) and hooks, uppercuts (hips, obliques)
  • Explain entirety of program before start, E.g. warm up shoulders, chest on grinder, followed by straight jab sets (20-30), and then moving into combos (slips, hooks, uppercuts) and then moving to 50 straight jabs, uppercuts, hooks and highs (Oscar) or moving combos
Holding Technique:
  • Keep pads lower on uppercuts, resist moving upwards
  • Keep pads lower and closer to client on hooks, resist moving sideways
Timing/Reps
  • Limit hook and uppercut exercises to pairs as much as possible, can put in singles. 
  • Face the clock, bring a wristwatch
  • Do combos in 2 x 30 second reps (Slips, Hooks, Uppercuts)
Other thoughts: Need to leave out the push back moving combos, just use back pedal. 

Weight Training

If doing drop sets, keep with every exercise, don't just do it for random stuff. 

Goal Setting

One weekly nutrition, exercise and weight loss goal, achievable, measurable. E.g. Lose 400 grams, go for 2 20 minute walks at home and eat no more carbs after dinner/6pm.
Need to ask specific about cardio and weights that week. Ensure output matches intake

Ultimate

 Goal this week was to relax more on the field and let the right option come, and not rushing it when it does.

Results:
I succeeded in only taking good options on the field from a downfield and handling perspective. However, I still rushed 2-3 good options, forcing turnovers from floaty backhands and non-leading forehands.
Did not stick to my plan on mental relaxation practice, visualization in warm up.

Thursday entry, Hapkido

Emotions: Confident (skills as a trainer), engaged (with new challenges, hapkido), comfortable (working with team in studio), satisfied (with daily challenges as a trainer, run club, motivated clients) Wednesday was a great day for me, came back to train some afternoon clients (Jaz) who had a great sessions with deadlifts. Tried Hapkido which have been meaning to do for ages, was good fun and learned heaps, great atmosphere to train in. Looking forward to next Wednesday (albeit late). Considering AGM tomorrow, or heading out to Piha Friday night. Need to bike into work tomorrow to make it work. AGM should be good fun, have a few drinks after with the club members which don't get to do too often, make most of it. Head out to piha early Saturday, looks like ideal plan. Work-ons: Knowing and keeping track of what kind of program being followed, beginner, superset, dropset,  how hard I need to push, and what kind of verbal cues I will provide throughout. Example: Jasmine need ...

Monday post, Bounce

Monday Emotions: Fully energised and engaged, satisfied (Connection with ultimate friends), refreshed Physical: Injury to knee going backwards, pain threshold after playing back up to 3-4/10, from 0-1/10. Sleep: Getting back into a good sleep routine over the weekend, and getting multiple nights in a row, Friday 8, Saturday 9.5, and Sunday 8.5 was the formula for an good recovery and bounce, improvement and growth, mentally responding to challenges from last week well. This response is something I feel I have not done as well over the week before. If I'm pushing myself in condition grey from Monday to Saturday, occaisionaly slipping into black in short periods, I need to get plenty of sleep in, at right timing.  Nutrition: Getting in more frequent lower GI meals this week has helped heaps, especially the oats, avoiding cravings and feeling hungry after workouts etc. More sources of protein, beans, eggs, chicken etc.  Physio? Pros and cons Physio seems...

Love vs Fear? The Art of Self-Awareness

A familiar feeling of trepidation swept over me.  I stepped over the threshold into the cold clinical setting of a Yr two practical examination room.  "have i missed my exam slot?" , "did they forget to call me in?" panicking, I fought to retain composure as my clinical supervisor approached me. "Alex, there you are! please come through, the exam is about to start" . As stood and waited to see which examiner and clinical scenario I would get, p ast memories flashed through my mind of my first exam sit.  "What If I fail again?" The same words echoed in my mind hauntingly, inviting the inevitable.  I was directed towards the furthest booth, with my examiner Richard, head of the musculoskeletal department, who curtly nodded as I nervously greeted him. An exam moderator sat a short distance furiously scribbling on a clipboard. I read the brief and the exam timer rang to signal the start.  He began "You have a 45 yr old builder with rig...
