I've been using biofeedback this week to guide my training. Here's my feedback from today's biofeedback training. :)
Double KB Deadlifts tested well. I had no hip issues during the deadlift portion of my training. It was amazing. I pulled with ease.
For pressing, I first tested push presses. No good. I then tested double military presses. Good.
Circuit 1 - 6 Rounds
Double KB DLs - two 24 kgs - 6 reps
Double KB MP - two 12 kgs - 6 reps
RPE - 7
I finished my session with a snatch and swing circuit. My training plan had me resting 30 seconds between snatches and swings, but that didn't seem challenging enough, so I adjusted the rest time to increase intensity. I gotta get my 20 calories/minute burn!!!
(See the ACE study regarding VO2 Max snatches if you don't know what I'm talking about.) Here's the link: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/01/prweb3486484.htm
Circuit 2 - 5 rounds
Snatches - 16 kg - 8 L, R
rest 10 seconds
Double Swings - two 12 kgs - 10 reps
rest 25 seconds
RPE - 7
I am blown away by how good my hips have felt this week, especially today. Usually, they get pretty jacked during training. Between my Zscription and the biofeedback training, I think I'm making some progress.
PS - 2 weeks to Grip-n-Rip!!!!

Hi Amy,
Nice progress. I have been skimming through some of the biofeedback videos on Adam Glass' site and was wondering if you are using the toe touch as a benchmark. If so, do you judge the depth or comfort levels, etc, or is it Top Secret and have to wait for the DVD? :)
BTW, good article on the MV02 and two weeks will be here before you know it. Have fun!
John,
I do use the toe touch for most drills since I am most focused on my hip mobility and strength. I do use the overhead arm test sometimes for presses.
I use depth and intuitive feel. Does it seem effortless to lay my palms flat on the ground, or did it feel like I was pushing past my comfort level? If a drill tests poorly, I usually can't even get my knuckles on the ground.
Since you practice Z Health, you'd easily be able to tune into your body to know if a drill tests well. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
Cool stuff Amy. I'm going to wait for the DVD and watch your progress along the way. Thanks for the insights!
