The progressions and the adaptations that we seek in our training, need to parallel the progressions and goals we seek outside of our training.
Too often strength coaches and weight room meatheads view “progression” as simply the weight being moved.

Yuka Saso just won the US Women’s Open a few weeks ago. What would happen if she tried to guard Breanna Stewart on the basketball court?

Spring is here.
Finally, that white stuff has disappeared and gave way to the beauty that is green.
I can picture it now, the smell of freshly cut grass and a little dew still on the practice green.
Put yourself there.
It’s time for your first round of the year. Expectations are high and you’re hopeful to pick up right where you left off last fall. The first tee shot is as nerve wracking as they come, no breakfast balls today… you tell yourself.

Is rotation dangerous? Are exercises like the one shown below an injury hazard?
Let me ask you something, do you play golf? Or tennis? Pickleball? Softball? Basketball? Hockey? Baseball? Football? Do you do yard work? Or garden? Carry things? Shovel? If so, your body is going to rotate. It happens. It is one of the 3 primary planes of movement that we must have proficiency in.

Lucky for them, adaptation may be the strongest, most productive quality of complex systems.
