In the gym the other day...not one of my typical days. I am slogging away at my 5x5 dead lift thingy...feeling, burned out frankly. Been a STRUGGLE to get things done that I like doing for myself. Standing in front of that 375 thinking I have seriously bit off more than I can chew this spring.
I like all the things I have to do...but it is toooooo many.
Anyhoooo Standing in front of that bar when I see a young guy in black and yellow get on a bike. I do a set...look up again and there is a group of three....in black and yellow. I wrap up the lifts head over for some mobility and a group of like 8 guys...yes....black & yellow.....I am working on that IT band...and yes another group...the largest, comes in.
It's New Mexico United day....at the gym.
Since I was right there in the mobility pit, I watched a group of them for a bit. Now keep in mind, the trainers had split this group of black & yellows into 3 groups, so there were like 8 dudes working mobility. I noticed something, the younger guys; well, they were awkward. Yea...I KNOW...they are professional athletes, like how dare I...but seriously. I know these guys move on the field, but with the mobility stuff....the younger guys were struggling.
Of course the coaches were coachin' and working with them...but they reminded me of great dane puppies. Big, strong, but they still don't quite know how to make it all work smooooothly.
Honestly, it was pretty cool to see. The older guys had a different kind of handle on their movement. A more settled way of moving. I know these young guys will get it and it's why they work with more than just their coaches on the field...that's why they have strength and conditioning and mobility coaches. It makes them better players and helps prevent injuries too.
I don't know, I just wanted to share...black & yellow....
I have missed writing...but...sigh....
