Sweet! I'll make it to at least one in the next cycle.
Can finally load ausbb pages again, awesome.
Had five people turn out for the bench workshop. Lots of positive changes, although 100% tightness still eludes the majority so for anyone reading this you know what you can focus on
Thanks to those who came out, special mention for Thomas who shared my prowler pain after the workshop.
Some footage from the day:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqjCDbX3_5Q]Workshop 21.1.12 - YouTube[/ame]
The next workshop will be the squat, details below:
What: Squat
Where: PTC Sydney - Unit 2, 41-43 Day St North, Silverwater
When: 29.1.12 (Sunday) @ 11am
How much: Non-members $10
As always, the more the merrier.
Those who own weightlifting shoes, I recommend bringing them on the day. There are a number of pairs around at PTC Sydney but obviously cannot guarantee fit/availability.
We will primarily be going over the LOW BAR squat. If you squat high bar that is perfectly fine, though... I won't ignore you

I squat low bar in Oly shoes and prefer it, personally.
Apart from that if people have mobility issues at the ankle it can help immensely. Plus the stable shoe etc.
By no means will I force people to squat with a heel if they prefer flat, I just get them to take their squishy jogger shoes off.

Normally you'd do oly squats in oly shoes. Low bar in flats or barefoot.
I find it's much harder to squat/teach low bar properly in oly shoes as its changes the mechanics.
There is a major difference between the 2 lifts, and it's probably the reason that oly shoes were made.
Still, can't wait to see the improvements that happen in the vid, seems like you guys are helping people out which is good.

Yeah, I've squat high bar / low bar for years without Oly shoes... I just prefer with (been squatting with shoes for about 4? months now). Different strokes, all about finding what works for the individual.
I am def looking forward to this workshop the most, should be a good one

Great workshop... And a nice PB from Big Mick... 130kg...
Attendees should consider hanging around after the workshops for some extra activities...
Tabata followed by kettleball swings and the prowler where "so much fun".... Oh the joy... Went home and curled up in the foetal postion...

I have benched a bit more previously but will get those elbows right before pushing anymore! LolThat 40kg flew up easily on the day Karen, Deb is still pouting about it.
Lots of potential there if you can set up correctly, consistently.
