PLYOMETRICS- Upper Body Emphasis
In my last installments I discussed what plyometrics are and why that are so important in terms of training for athletes, physique athletes included. Under that umbrella of plyometrics there are really two areas with which to focus on: upper body plyometrics, and lower body plyometrics. I’m sure when you think about plyometrics, exercises like box jumps and squat jumps come to mind- but what about exercises that are integral in the development of the upper body and the core such as overhead medicine ball slams, Squat throws, and plyometric push ups?
Remember, plyometrics (also known as plyos for short) is the term used to refer to the type of exercise designed to produce fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system.
PROMOTING YOURSELF POWERFULLY!
Many athletes ask me "How can I better promote myself in the industry?" Many don't have the money to hire an agency or a promotional agent to do this for them, but want to stand out in the minds of their fellow competitors and judges. I hope this article gives you some ideas or motivates and inspires you. This is not only what YOU can do to PROMOTE YOURSELF but also what RX GIRL can do to help promote you!!!
As a young teenager living in Kaliningrad, Russia, Oksana Grishina was a serious student of rhythmic gymnastics. She was so accomplished, in fact, she was awarded the honor 'Master of Sport' – a highly prestigious accomplishment in her homeland. Years later she would drift into the sport of fitness and her striking qualities became widely acknowledged internationally.
As an amateur Grishina was a Russian champion, a two-time Baltic champion, a European champion, and in 2006 she won the IFBB World Amateur Fitness Championships overall crown. With that level of success, she was welcomed into the IFBB pro fitness ranks.
