Second, off-topic question. I note that “accuracy” is one of the CF fitness factors and query what sort of exercises and workouts assist in the development of accuracy.

thanks and see you all on Friday morning.

In addition to what Mike said, keep in mind that yesterday’s workout had a total of 15 handstand push-ups. Your shoulder joint didn’t take much abuse from just a few reps of HSPU. Also remember that in the push press, the shoulders are assisted by the explosive opening of the hips.

Can’t wait for next week!

Thanks for the commitment. We think you made the right choice also.

Danny Davis is a good guy and just what the fitness industry needs. We need folks inside the GloboGym establishment to be fighting for real fitness and real results. It’s bound to be an uphill battle though. For reasons too numerous to mention here, the GloboGym model of machines and unutilized contracts is not likely to fall until many more individuals like yourself recognize the benefits of joining a community that values fitness and humility over profit and aesthetics.

I wish Danny the best and will do everything I can to support his efforts to reform the GloboGym community. For my part, I am going to do everything in my power to provide the best alternative in the market – a top-notch facility that will house a community of humble individuals who value fitness, respect each other and regularly engage in examination and discussion of fitness principles.

I trained with Danny Davis at PureFitness and he is definitely on board with CF and has been working on certifications and including CF workouts for his clients. Problem is that you have to pay your monthly gym fee PLUS pay for individual training sessions. That adds up to a lot, and further–great trainer and person that he is–he is only one coach (as opposed to the 4 or 5 that might be present at any Invictus session). I like the group training and collaboration.

I think I made the right choice.

As you log your workouts you will sometimes find that in a week’s time you might have done over 250 or 300 pull ups. Just think, would you ever have done that many in a week let along in a months worth of “traditional” lifting workouts. Keep asking as many questions as you have, the staff you have at CFI will always provide you will great answers. The more educated you can become the better you will be, and I am so very impressed with how knowledgeable the members of CFI are.

Cheers for another day!

From a CF perspective, the general philosophy is you cannot anticipate what you will encounter day-to-day. Given that, you may encounter similar movements several days in a row for no reason other than those are the cards you were dealt.

To answer, I would argue as long as you’re receiving proper instruction, it shouldn’t be a problem. As trainers, we look at the programming overall from a macro view to ensure we’re not overusing certain groups of similar movements at any given time so that you guys can recover and live to fight another day.

Hope that answered your question.

Is it safe to work, for example, the shoulder strenuously two days in a row, e.g., yesterday’s HSPU’s followed by today’s PP sets of 3? I feel pretty sore, though not agonizingly so, but I do recall voices from the past warning about working a particular body part back-to-back in training sessions.

Thanks for any comments.
