Focus, Focus, Focus Unique!

Guess you can say this is a response to my last post where I talked about my improvements and current training schedule. What I want to talk about is "what" I do when I train. Lately I've been observing and writting notes about my past training habits. I've noticed a lot of my training has been very physical and hands on. Usually there is no specific training habits such as drilling a certain movement, or just a certain conditioning schedule. I kinda just go with the flow when I can train. Whatever I feel like doing that day or whatever excersice I feel like sweating over. My point is this I noticed I'm a very hands on physical type a person, but I really wanted to know how my mind was doing. I found trouble in my mental state when I train. I couldn't right off tell you what I do to get over fears, or how keep my dedication up. I discovered I could be so much further in my parkour if I could just keep a 100% focus on my training energy. I would then make my training both longer and more productive. After some thought I came up with a crazy idea I think would help me greatly. This idea is to do 500 of a movement of my choice and complete it within 2 weeks. This would both help me with the muscle memory of the technique and the mental focus it would take to complete it. So I have contructed a scheldule to complete 3 movements within 6 weeks 500 times. Heres the list I guess.

-Monkey Precisions
-Running Precisions
-Catleaps

Besides picking the one movements that would prob mess up my shoes baddly I feel they are also areas I need the most help on. Once a week I will post my progress so expect my next post to be on sunday.

OMG, OMG, OMG Unique!

Hey just a blog update since my last post a lot has changed in my life. I've been released of a lot of obligations and burdens both in pk world and my outside life. Now that I have found some free time, training has been brutal. I host weekly training every Tuesday and Thursday and I'm finally starting to see regular members. I've found through teaching I finally realized how much I've progressed even within the last few months. Watching them dripping with sweat through the warm up while I'm going through it like cake amazes me. Think back over how weak I was a few months ago and how strong I've become now both mentally and physically is so awesome for lack of words.

So far I've been rotating around a schedule and this is what I got:
Sunday:
This day is basically a free day to do what I want. Rest,train, or just teach, I go according to how I feel this day. Sometimes I hit training with the Tapp's at there weekly training.
Monday:
I try to keep this day for conditioning and training alone. My conditioning consist of normal calisthenics with my weighted vest A.K.A. BETTY.
Tuesday:
Weekly Training: Just focus on teaching that day. Condition calisthenics without vest for a muscular endurance workout at night.
Wednesday:
Condition with vest along with parkour circuits for endurance.
Thursday:
Weekly Training: Just focus on teaching that day. Condition calisthenics without vest for a muscular endurance workout at night.
Friday:
Training at night alone. May go to open gym.
Saturday:
Condition without vest and train with friends.

Well this is it. I LOVE EVERYONE. Stay EZ.

Training, Injuries, and Conditioning.

Well I have been doing what I've said been working a lot more on conditioning my body than training. I have to say I like how this is going the schedule of which I am using is working out nicely.

The only really problems have been that fact that sometimes when I have a training day I still feel sore in my shoulders. So I am going to have to move my conditioning of my upper arms to the day I work my core and flexibility. (Post my schedule when I have more time.)

Now for injuries I have a major problem in my left knee when I land from a jump I feel pain in my knee from 1-10 I would say 5-6 in pain (10 being highest.) I believe this is a symptom of jumpers knee. Though I am not completely sure.

So as a result my training will come to a halt thought my conditioning will not I will take it easy on my left knee.

Unique Mothaf#@ka!

Can't believe I forgot!

I've just noticed that since Aug 2, 2008 I've being training for 3 years now. Usually I look back and figure out where I should go next, what moves I want to go for, my current state of mind and body, etc. For this year I really want to pursue a more conditioned body. I used to just incorporate more parkour than conditioning but I really want to change that to more like parkour maybe 1-2 times a week and conditioning 4-5 times a week. I also want to start trying more new move and technique as opposed to last year where I focus on the little mistakes in my basics and some flips. This may be pretty hard to do considering that I progress much slower than many people I know, not to say I'm trying to catch up but I feel I could be doing more as far training wise.

Trip to Nebraska

Recent Training

Been a while since my last post have a few things to say.

Recently I been in Nebraska feels good to training in a new place... Just to mix things up. Anyway I get back Thursday and I'm currently editing the video from my adventures. I'll post that up when I'm done. Rather than that I've just been conditioning like crazy. Currently stopped using the gym and have switch to a weighted vest I purchased. I feel it allows me to workout the muscles I use in my trainings better than a workout gym. I'm just starting to see big changes in my strength and endurance if you guys disagree in my conditioning approach. shot a comment at me. The only new move I've been working on is standing gainers still working the confidence to try outdoors.

That's it for now.

Back in action.

Finally started training again after badly bruising my collarbone. I discovered that I have lost a lot of strength and currently putting my training on hold till I reach the level of conditioning that I once had.

-So still taking my conditioning slow until I reach where I left off.


Next:
I'm planning my trip to Nebraska for July 1st. The parkour community there is growing slow but still growing. Hopefully I can show them some things and they can do the same.

It for now.
PEACE LOVE
