In looking back at all of my training I notice one thing, when I follow a slower path I do much better. I always suffer illness and injury when I go all out from the get go. I have a habit of running full speed at all times and not taking the proper time to work up to it. I even had an argument about taking time to reach the goals of the VWC. His take was you had to hit 50 sets from day one, mine was taking the time to work up to it. Kenneth Jay laid out a steady work schedule that built you up to the 80 x 8 over some time. Never heard from the other guy, now considered an "Expert." but so be it.
The point being, I have decided to step back and complete the program minimum. I have never gone through the entire plan, partly due to be ADD I think. I have set down and written up my plan of attack. I have a path to follow and that makes it a little easier to follow through with. As I tell the Amazing Athletes Coaches, if it is written down, it will get done. I have modified it for my daily activity level by making my active recovery less intense. I am starting out with the 24kg due to my hip flexor injury. I will move to heavier weights when it says to on the plan.
Tonight was pretty good. I started out with Joint Mobility including Halos, Wall Squats and Pumps. I then hit 8 sets of 20 swings with 1 minute of active movement. My hip flexor was a little tight, but not painful. It is a start.
I do plan on Kettlebell training over Thanksgiving. We are taking a break from the Combatives this week. There is no class on Saturday this week.
Here is a great clip from Scientific Wrestling.
