I don't remember if I've already stated this in public or not, but now is as good a time and place as any to say that Greg and Aimee's seminar was awesome. Unless you just came back from Beijing, you NEED to attend one of these.
Just think: after two days of intense drilling and instruction, you too will become proficient at making weird faces while lifting moderate-to-low weights!
Thanks again for a great week-end. |

Hey the rower intervals....the 150 M rest? Is that an active rest, ie row 150 at a slow pace and then 250M all out for the 7 mins? Thanks |

Squib -
Yes, keep rowing, just at a nice cruising pace. |

Hey Gregg
Just wanted your thoughts on the ab roll out. Barbell? Ab wheel? Either one? Also, I have read on a couple instructional websites that you shouldn't roll out to the point where the arms are parallel with ground. While doing the exercise your should keep your elbows locked out, keeping the hands in line the arms vertically. Rolling out all the way puts too much stress on the shoulders and lower back. |

Rick -
The point of ab rollouts is to stabilize the spine in its neutral position - if it's placing strain on the lower back it's because the athlete is unable to do that and needs to work easier exercises such as planks first. If they're done correctly, they don't place undue strain anywhere. Limit you depth to that which you can make with a neutral spine - stop before you feel any pressure in your lower back. Over time, get lower and lower. |

I've also found that making sure to squeeze everything tight through the whole movement (especially the glutes) will help avoid the back hyperextension. I spend most of our ab-wheel workouts in the gym screeming "SQUEEZE YOUR BUTT TIGHT!" and it seems to work well, even with relatively inexperienced trainees. |
