If you put more pressure through a small sink, you still get a flood. A big sink with no pressure is pond — it sucks at movement and stagnates. If you need a place to start, it’s hard to argue with hips and grips.
Summary:
This week started and ended with a focus on mobility. With one lung-ripping session early in the week. That combination felt more productive than several moderately un/comfortable (Level 2) sessions in a row.
Grappling continued to focus on inside heel hook breaking mechanics and isolation. The specific emphasis for me was pinching the toes, hard, with my bicep and armpit with a heavy side-arch.
Getting to work some power (Olympic lifts) near the end of the week was also fun and productive. Time-limiting the session was also a good way to make sure loads and volume stayed moderate (though I did set a PR) and true to the session’s intention.
