June 8: Cheating is bad form

Before we started today, we talked about the importance of good form. A gazillion reps of an exercise done incompletely cheats the athlete out of the benefits of the full range of motion. For example, squats should break the plane of the knee, while in pull-ups the arms should be fully extended. Do the exercises correctly in order to get the full benefit -- as well as to be fair to your teammates.

max pullups (no more than 10)

We worked on our touch by passing in an aerobic condition with both instep passes and volleys. We finished with a game of lightning.
