Bohemian modernist flat downtown

Zografou, Greece
Laid-back, colorful, modernist 60 sq.m. flat downtown. Feels as if you're staying at an absent friend's place. A variety of day- and night-life options accessible even on foot. Easy to commute, dir...

Dynamo Concepts Training Videos, Part 2: Five Principles of Maximizing Power

Here's the second from the series of videos I have promised to post on this blog, this time with the Dynamo Concepts system's five principles of maximizing power. This is plain sport science here, people, stuff that good boxing coaches (track and field coaches too) have known for years.

In a nutshell, these principles are:
1. Ballistic movement: 'casting' the limbs
2. Kinetic linking: recruiting my joints consecutively, from proximal to distal, timing recruitment in such a way that the movement at a distal joint is created at the exact moment that maximum speed of movement has been developed at the nearest proximal joint.
3. Continuous movement: preserving momentum of the moving limbs, flowing from one direction to another.
4. Stored elastic energy: using connective tissues (both parallel and serial elastic compnents of the muscle-tendon complex) as rubber bands that stretch and spring back into their resting length, adding an additional force component to that of muscular contraction.
5. Rotational movement imparts additional kinetic energy to the moving limbs and involves more muscle groups in each movement.

I hope you find this video of help. Make sure you send me a message in case there is something I can explain in more depth.

Train smart, train safe, be your own instructor,
