6 of us were there on Wednesday night for Kai’s strength session: Ant, Ken, Matt, Brett, Pottsy and myself. We warmed up with a medium pace jog along the bay, with a steep uphill in the middle. After the main lights on the oval went out just as we were about to start, we settled by a streetlight for the workout.
We got straight into pull ups on a metal bar, focusing on a wide grip and holding for longer than normal. Then into a T-Stance Fly, taking our rubber bands like a skipping rope, in each hand, treading on the middle, then raising our arms out and up from our sides. Throw in a few hamstring curls with rubber ankle bands, ab crunches with leg extends, wall sits with more rubber band work, and a few sets of star fish arm extensions with optional dumbbell, and you’ve got the first week of a world’s conquering strength and conditioning regime.
We’re going to go over the specifics of each exercise on the weekend, so come prepared with a towel, since a lot of them involve lying on the ground.
Highlights were Brett keeping us honest with his brutally slow push-up speed (slower than even Kai wanted to count), and ‘buns of steel’ Ken making the invisible chair look easy. Top work guys.
This session really made me realize the importance of full body conditioning. I didn’t have so much trouble with pull ups, but the invisible chair did me over in a big way.
Anyway, get into this strength work, so we’re all absolute units once we’re playing at the big show. Get strong so you can take hits, and not get hurt. Just like Malibu.
