It’s the dose that counts

THIS was me greasing the groove, as some term the art of practice, with double kettlebell front squats in my five-star training headquarters (rickety garage).

Go deep if your mechanics are not compromised. This movement works so much more than your legs.

I don’t mind the cobwebs, leaking roof and dusty floors, because successful training just requires space, tools, the willingness to practice and an intelligent program

Be mindful of how your body feels. Listen to the signs. Push harder on days you feel great. Back off when you know you need to. Always pay attention to your movement quality.

Something I read the other day, written by Marty Gallagher, a world class powerlifting coach, really hit a chord with me: “The optimal workout creates stress. The poison is in the dose.”
