Rest Day Video and Shoulder Stuff

It's that part of the season again. The time when your get-up-and-go starts to drop a little, soreness and tightness ramp up, and shoulder start hurting. Kelly Starrett's Mobility Wod (mobilitywod.com) is a great resource for addressing flexibility and recovery issues. Browse through it and find some videos that address your needs. If your shoulders feel tender, be smart about it- rest it, ice it, and find an MWod. If your shoulders don't hurt, be proactive- work on some MWod shoulder stuff for preventative measures.  Below is a video thats a pretty good place to start.

Monday Workout

With the championship season quickly approaching now is the time to get into the habit of doing the little things right outside of the pool and the gym.
-SLEEP: it is absolutely crucial for recovery. Shoot for a minimum of 7 hours.
-Eat Right: Limit your desert and junk food consumption. Make sure you are consuming enough protein and that you are making good carbohydrate choices both in terms of portioning (mostly post-workout) and quality (Fruits, vegetables, dairy). Be liberal with your fat consumption.
-Foam roll: Try to do it at least once a day.
-School: Do your homework on time so you can get everything else done.

Back Squat- 3x5, 5x5, or Wendler
