NOVA TTM - Wall Techniques at Robinson

A themed training meet today at Robinson High School. PRetty good turn-out. Leon warmed us up and I started the conditioning with a duck walk circuit (probably total of 50m) that totally KILLED everyone's legs... and then the same circuit as QM. Next, Leon had us do inclined press-ups, side QM, inclined press-ups, etc. across a ledge. We proceeded to a grip shimmy along a wall (about 20m) and then a dip shimmy on the return. Everyone was pretty sufficiently exhausted at this point, but everyone was also a good sport about continuing. Next came pistol-walks (do a pistol/one-legged squat, take a step, do another) along a length (about 10m), and pistol-walks backwards... Lastly, we did a plank shimmy across 20m.

After the conditioning, we began the themed training, focusing on wall techniques. First came pop-vaults and turn-vaults on a ledge. After this, we spent the rest of the time with wall-runs, climb-ups, and tic-tacs. After becoming ridiculously exhausted from the conditioning session, i twas interesting to see how people had to adjust to train technique. You could visibly see that most people had not done anything of the sort before! Great session, overall, and I'll likely be feelng this tomorrow.
