construction of the Clean. No. With the dumbbell. I had fun with some downtime in the gym and found myself with a Bosu ball and a dumbbell. What's a dummy to do. Break it down. My desire to work my shoulders, but not wanting to stand there or worse, sit there - I took a half-kneeling position on the Bosu. This created the opportunity to focus on my balance, how I was engaging certain muscles and presented a challenging way to Clean. You want to make it a great day? Clean your side of the street. All we can really do is control our attitude and actions. If we pay attention to those places that need to be paid attention to within ourselves our outlook and actions toward others gets a bit brighter, a bit more worthwhile if not at the very least a bit more reasonable. You have a bunch of reasons to get in motion and make it a beautiful day!
Wrist pain. I get it. I don't have it but some folks I train do.
To aid in their comfort but not let up on some foundation core, shoulder and back strength exercises we made a minor adjustment. We stabilize our forearm / elbow on a Rogue box or a bench. I have found that putting that attention on the forearm, not digging the elbow in, and keeping the shoulder above the elbow has been most beneficial. So, stable up and give those dumbbells a row with these Pirate Row Planks. Get in motion and make it a beautiful day! |
