Little kids have no sense of danger.<br /><br />I love seeing kids trying new things and getting confidence through achievement. Watching Sapphire do 12" box jumps when she trained with me was cool. She was doing Laura style psych-ups (yes, I know you're reading this Laura, that's why I said it :-) ), squatting down, wriggling, swinging her arms, aborting jumps and then she'd get one and she'd be so excited!<br />And she had to show everyone how she could do them.<br /><br />I love that.<br /><br />BTW I did 24" box jumps and didn't do the Laura wriggle, well maybe a little.Craig Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428457582440589359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529739709849302394.post-87205812619401992632010-05-22T01:10:36.655+12:002010-05-22T01:10:36.655+12:00Angie loved that.Angie loved that.TexasPatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923439774636938685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529739709849302394.post-58039535708816413152010-04-23T12:18:09.825+12:002010-04-23T12:18:09.825+12:00hahahaha laurar-style.

I need to run at a certain speed, and I heard him mention this in a video with coach on the journal, I just dont remember the pace. I have the pose good from starting to landing but its the transition that gives me trouble, this sounds like your problem also. When the foot stays on the ground too long you pull your self out of pose and then are constantly trying to catch up the leg on the ground. Once I hit that "speed" I focus on kind of a high knee (as in trying to knee someone). The force pulling up gets my foot off the ground faster. And that with the speed made it click for me. If I go for a jog with my dogs and am not going fast enough I dont feel the bounce from the hamstrings like when I am going the correct speed. You could try and play with the speed you are running and see if you feel it.<br /><br />Good luck, MastrojAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952122869963072158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529739709849302394.post-7401899779157496612010-03-31T15:40:12.169+13:002010-03-31T15:40:12.169+13:00No, that's fine.

I have fairly ...No, that's fine. And thank-you.<br />I have fairly significant problem with pronation and I had a fancy and very expensive pair of custom orthotics made. I recently threw them away as I wasn't any better with them than without and I decided that I wanted to find a way to live without the props. I had been a massive heel striker while running so I'm working on that. I attend a Pose clinic with Dr. Romanov himself this weekend! I've also realised that my very sedentary job is doing more than ruin my back; it's also given me classic Upper Cross Syndrome (rounded shoulders in the old-fashioned terminology) and totally ruined my ability to stabilise my left hip. My right isn’t brilliant either, but the left is really out of position which messes my knee up.<br />Getting that hip sorted out is becoming very important to me, hence the step-ups and other weird things I’m trying.<br />I’m my own little project in re-hab.Craig Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428457582440589359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529739709849302394.post-5641052470299804082010-03-11T13:38:10.986+13:002010-03-11T13:38:10.986+13:00Hi,

I came to your blog to check out Crossfitty kinda stuff and ended up reading about biltong, aka the essence of life! <br /><br />Being married to a Namibian, I have my fair-share of Biltong. Actually, a few good men's fair share! I have one thing to tell you bro. There is no spoon!<br /><br />In other words, the way you make biltong is just that. Ur biltong is real. My biltong is real. Don't believe me? Come with us next xmas to Namibia and I'll take you around the different biltong houses. Try to convince Uncle Pete that his biltong is not the real stuff :) ha ha I can just see it :)<br /><br />I love your stuff both here and on the X Brand site.

I think it's the extra pull between the shoulder blades. When it gets tight that area is a real headache generator for me and quite often locks up in spasms that extend up into the traps on one side. Those take days to subside and I can't use the arm on that side effectively until they do.<br />I plan to start videoing myself like I used to and keep a delayed eye on my form. That might show that I am indeed doing something silly with my neck. It's quite likely, but I didn't think so.Craig Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428457582440589359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529739709849302394.post-31021823959408101472009-09-08T03:00:05.995+12:002009-09-08T03:00:05.995+12:00Hey Mate, do you think it's neck position that...Hey Mate, do you think it's neck position that's giving you the grief?
