Training with an end challenge/goal for the first time in a few years is actually refreshing (see live chat if you're unsure what I'm referring to). Life without a goal for a while is great when you are always striving for something but I didn't know how much I missed one til this one came to me. It's the polarity as always! I am enjoying many of my workout during this 'training camp'. The highlights for me have been mainly the Ninja Warrior sessions but last week I had swimming session that I really enjoyed. It seemingly came out of nowhere, a culmination of many of my previous swims distilling down what I'd learnt about my fatigue levels, lap times, recovery, goals etc. I opted for a Friday swim after a week of lots of upper body training but not much high intensity/cardio. The swim allows me to recover my forearms/grip whilst still training the heart and the full body as one system pumping blood to every crevice AND filling up my skin suit, reaching, stretching every stroke. I mostly swim front crawl in 6 lengths sets (25m pool= 150m) but as these usually take around 2:30-3mins to complete and leave me gassed for a while - I decided to try 4 lengths (100m) sets. After the first one I noticed I needed just over a minute recovery to feel ready to go again and it took me about 1:45 to complete I decided to go again on the 3min mark. It felt right. So I did this again and again 4, 5, 6 times - So I decided I'd do 10 rounds of this. However at the 8th one I felt much more tired and it dropped from a 1:45 to closer to 2mins to do so I called it there. Right up until that one I felt challenged but strong and that was the turning point so I stopped. Swimming 8x100m every 3mins on the 3mins was my fave sessions lately. Anyway a lot I can't quite express and I fear this could be terribly boring so I will pass it off to you. What is the best session you've done lately? It can be an obvious quantifiable structured session or and enjoyable creative free flow, whatever you left feeling fulfilled and buoyant from...

Having some small by noticeable wins in my training recently so I'd love to pass the question off to you guys... Please comment below and share any recent small (or big) win in your training/body/biomechanics practice!

When u clean in the landmine, do u catch it with ur elbow on your hips or is it ok for the elbow to be away from your body ? Here are 3 of my best reps, but i feel unstable in the transition.. any pointers or tips?

I‘ve met Glenn today. A guy I found via the SOB community and it immediately turned out to be a fantastic idea. We had so many similar interests and approaches in life, thorough we didn’t even know it before we went into the spontaneous meeting. We practiced, had fun togather and enjoyed the good weather. I would like to give everyone little reminder of how similar we probably are in this community, how many friendships might be just a car ride away and want to encourage people to connect. So give others the chance to connect with YOU and share your residential area in the comments below! It would be a pleasure to find someone from Munich/bavaria (Germany)

Hey Students! 👋🏼 I'd like to invite EVERYONE here in the School to film just one piece of your training/movement this week and share it with the group! Whatever it is you're training it doesn't matter. It can be any exercise you really love right now, or a freestyle body flow, or a Landmine Clean!! It can be 'boring' as a plank or a push up or energetic like a Rope Flow pattern, it doesn't matter how it looks. What matters is how you feel about it - the thing thats in your head when your not training that you're thinking about doing, something that you feel passionate about in your training! 🤔 If you can film just one thing (or a small edit of a few or just a pic) and post it as a reply to this thread, write a small caption about why it is your doing it, what you feel about it would be ace 🙏🏼 I'd love to see whats got you fired up 🔥 Best, Tim P.S. if you're too shy to film or can't for any reason post a photo of your dog (or something else meantingful to you) and write about the movement.
