Crow Pose Program Session 8

Prepare
GMB Knee Mobility routine  

Today's GMB Mobility session focusing on Fundamentals
Practice
2 Turkish Getup singles per side with 16kg Kettlebell
3 reps of Windmill with 16kg KB overhead, supersetting the TGU practice
Play
Beginner Core Conditioning Routine from the bonus section of Elements for two circuits

Push
Shrimp Squat Variation #1 (easiest) spread through afternoon
Ponder
Heard and felt some clicks in my lower spine during the Windmill practice again but still no pain.
Shoulders fatigued after two supersets of Turkish Getup + Windmill so I didn't do a third.

Lingering shoulder soreness even during brachial hang which is the last stretch I do for my cooldown.  Will definitely give the shoulders a break for tomorrow's exercise session.

Knee didn't ache during the lying hip circles or sumo frogger exercises from today's Mobility session, which is a nice improvement.  Shrimp Squat is looking like the best choice for strengthening my quads without any knee pain.

Came across these articles about strength and flexibility training for today's young competitive gymnasts - even though they don't apply directly to me, it's interesting to see that gymnastic coaches are still looking to evaluate and innovate training for their students:

On an even less related note, a neat demonstration of dantian usage in Dai Family Xinyi
