Did pt stuff and cleaned up weight room,racked a bunch of plates.
Thoracic spine feels great. Having mobility there again esp on left is adding a new dimension back to training.
Later this day did what pt calls windmills for hammie and stability. Similar to yoga Half Moon/Ardha Chandrasana which is typically not stable and not "fun" in the way I like my yoga to be. Obviously need to work on this!!

Tail draggers across weight room w/5 lb plate.
As a class, we take a look at where everyone is with pullups. Discuss various grips and history. Everyone has a story to tell on these. Talk about tension,abs,pulling shoulders in to socket before initiating pull up versus "cartoon cat" hanging from a bar looking stranded.
Walk dogs as usual.

Nice and consistent Katie. What are tail draggers? When is your class trip? Will you be bringing a kb along?

Howie-take a barbell plate,something with a lip, assume the plank position,hooking plate with toes and drag your tail. No need to take a bell-68 th grade students is plenty of strength,endurance and technique practice. Never Gymless.
