To keep us on our toes after learning some theory, we did some physical training and took breaks. I thought it was brilliant since it made the day move by faster and was more exciting. We proceeded to our dead lifts and their variations in the weights section of the gym. I never knew there were so many different variations of doing squats. We meticulously went over proper technique to prevent injury and learned what we should look out for in others while watching over them. Scott hammered into us that “Perfect form and perfect training makes for perfect results.”

I had seen the sumo squat before but never tried it, and it ended up being my favorite type of squat. It is similar to a regular squat but your stance is not shoulder width apart; it is much wider, making you look like a sumo wrestler when squatting. The second difference is that you have the dumbbell or kettle bell in-between your legs rather than above on your shoulders.

For the shoulders, there was a lot to cover, as they house so many strands of muscles and as their organization makes it a very complex part of the body. We learned that on the bench press and shoulder press, maintaining a narrow grip will help build the cuff and make you stronger in the wrestling “shrimp” defensive maneuver.
