<strong>Re:</strong> Your answer to improving your speed</p>
<p>Dear Fellow Athletes,</p>
<p><strong>I</strong><strong>magine this.</strong> You&#8217;ve just completed your off-season training&#8230; The first game is about to start&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Now all you need is to do is perform your best!</span></strong></p>
<p>You are prepared because you know that your body will respond in a manner that&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-444" title="stopwatch" src="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/stopwatch.jpg" alt="stopwatch" width="85" height="85" /></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>•Races across the field/court/track effortlessly while leaving everyone else behind!</strong></li>
<li>•Practically forces your competitors to know where you are at all times!</li>
<li><strong>•And then leaves them <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no choice</span> but to find a way to keep you from succeeding!</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Fortunately, you&#8217;ve got a<strong> &#8220;secret weapon&#8221; </strong>that tilts the playing field so far in your direction that it&#8217;s like giving you an &#8220;unfair advantage.&#8221;</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">You prepare yourself with drills of proven, response-boosting, speed-building successful skills&#8230; the only thing left to do is perform&#8230; the game starts&#8230; and <em>you shine like the star you are!</em> <strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Elapsed Time: (Keep reading to find out&#8230;!)</span></strong></strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> </strong><br />
</span>What I&#8217;ve just described is the exact process virtually every &#8220;Top Performing Athlete&#8221; experiences to win.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the <strong>&#8220;unfair advantage&#8221;</strong> they have over everyone else they compete against.</p>
<h1 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ever Wonder Why The Top 3% Of Athletes Succeed</span></h1>
<h1 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #0000ff;">More Than</span></h1>
<h1 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #0000ff;">The Other 97% Combined?</span></h1>
<p>It&#8217;s simple.</p>
<p><strong>They don&#8217;t waste time-or money-doing what the &#8220;Average Joe&#8221; does</strong>.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">They DON&#8217;T&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Just do it</strong>, not preparing their off-season program in a way that will set them up for success. (In this business, speed wins&#8230;and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the sooner they get started with the right program, the sooner they experience the speed and quickness that can blow the competition out of the water!</span>)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">They DON&#8217;T&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Grab some cheap, generic website program online</strong>&#8230;something that looks great, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">but has about as much ability to improve speed as a pig has for higher algebra</span>! (Their visitors would &#8220;ooh&#8221; and &#8220;ahh&#8221;&#8230;but they probably won&#8217;t Develop Speed! And these guru&#8217;s aren&#8217;t out to win games&#8230;they want MONEY! And LOTS of it!)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">They DON&#8217;T&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hire some kid on Elance to do it for them.</strong> (Let&#8217;s be honest here&#8230;you don&#8217;t find &#8220;top shelf&#8221; talent on Elance <em>or any other freelance site! </em>The guys who really know their stuff consistently have more work than they can handle&#8230;<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">they don&#8217;t need to bid for work</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<h1 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Bottom line: The Top Level Athletes don&#8217;t</strong></span></h1>
<h1 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>do any of this amateur stuff. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">So why should you</span>?</strong></span></h1>
<p><strong>Top athletes seem to know &#8216;just what to do&#8217; to create yet ANOTHER LEVEL of speed </strong>every time they prepare for competition, while the rest of us are left behind scratching our heads, trying to figure out what &#8217;secret knowledge&#8217; they have that we don&#8217;t!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it.</p>
<p>If you are like most of my clients, and like hundreds (if not thousands) of other frustrated athletes out there, then <strong>you&#8217;ve probably already tried to build your own program and have been seriously frustrated with your results.</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ve probably bought just about every ebook, course, and video available but you&#8217;re <span style="text-decoration: underline;">still not getting the results you want</span>, and feeling like this all might be a &#8216;bit beyond you&#8217;!</p>
<p>No matter what you try, your <strong>site SPEED isn&#8217;t improving to your likings</strong>, or it looks like you &#8216;hacked a program together&#8217; from information here and there, and worse yet&#8230; <strong>you STILL aren&#8217;t getting any faster! </strong></p>
<p>Believe me I know what that feels like! (I don&#8217;t just design these programs, I research, studied and do a few myself too!). In fact, if you&#8217;ve tried to &#8216;go it alone&#8217; up until now, I applaud you, it isn&#8217;t easy.</p>
<p><strong>How would you like me to shortcut that learning curve for you? </strong></p>
<p>Well you&#8217;re in luck, because at the risk of my relationship with my top-shelf clients, <strong>I&#8217;m breaking the &#8216;code of silence&#8217;</strong>, and letting you in on what<strong> they </strong>know&#8230; <em>and you don&#8217;t! </em></p>

<h1 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Speed!</span></h1>
<p>I&#8217;m going to let you in on a couple little secrets that make &#8220;Top Performing Athletes&#8221; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">outplay the competition</span>!</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8216;Code Breaker&#8217; Secret #1:</span></h1>
<p>They understand that the real key to speed is made developing and practicing proper form unconsciously,<strong> </strong><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span></strong></em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> running at top speed day in and day out</span></strong><strong>.</strong> In fact, many of the guru&#8217;s you know about don&#8217;t even know <em>how</em> to run properly and efficiently!</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8216;Code Breaker&#8217; Secret #2:</span></h1>
<p>But they do know that the easiest, fastest, safest and most secure way to improve speed is to <strong>use a proven, repeatable, predictable process that get&#8217;s results EVERY time it is used!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you catch that?</strong></p>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Makes sense now you know it, right? (or maybe you already knew it!) Any time top athletes want to get the same killer results, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">they use the same proven system</span>. <strong>The &#8216;template&#8217; is the secret to their success</strong>!</p>
<p>See, the serious top level athletes- the guys you keep hearing about &#8211; <strong>they stopped trying to &#8216;hash it out&#8217; a long time ago, and instead opted to use proven systems that WORK</strong>&#8230; and then tailor those systems to their needs!</p>
<p>That way, <strong>they</strong> can perform with <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lightning-speed</span>&#8230; <strong>anytime</strong>.</p>
<p>But, if you are like the thousands of other self-starter&#8217;s out there trying to make your dreams come true, then<strong> you&#8217;re probably fed-up with having to do things the hard way. </strong></p>

<p>The<strong> Achieve Top Speed Part I Video</strong> is the result of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">over 15 years</span> of studying, building, tweaking, refining, researching, training and performing skills to improve speed for some of the top athletes around today.</p>
<p>The drills I have included in this video are the highest quality, professionally designed speed building skills available today, bar none!</p>
<p>How do I know?</p>
<p>Because I started giving away trial samples <strong>over 2 YEARS ago</strong>, and since then have been listening to the feedback, requests, success stories (yes and a couple of failures) my clients have sent me.</p>
<p>The experience has been incredible, and combined with my professional practice, I have created the ULTIMATE &#8216;Unfair Advantage&#8217; for you.<strong> I want to give you the ULTIMATE Advantage to help you get the speed YOU deserve </strong>so you can compete at the TOP level of sports!</p>
<p>I want this to be<strong> the easiest and most affordable way for you to get started right now </strong>- WITHOUT the huge learning curve OR the massive expense of hiring a human performance specialist or speed coach like me to do it for you!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Here&#8217;s some of the feedback users sent me on my free samples:</span></p>

<p align="center"><strong>When I opened the first video I was amazed!</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Hello Brian,</p>
<p>Your video offer is absolutely wonderful. I have done a lot of searching for reasonably priced training programs.</p>
<p>I have not found anything that I wouldn&#8217;t be <strong>embarrassed</strong> for people to train with.</p>
<p>You will pay from 60 to 300 dollars for a single speed video of any quality at all. Then they still might have restrictions such as limiting you to a single use of that video etc.</p>
<p><strong>I was about to come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as an inexpensive quality speed program</strong></p>
<p>And then I found AchieveOptimalPerformance.com.</p>
<p><strong>When I opened the first video I was amazed.</strong> And as it turned out this particular one was the most plain of the bunch. As I continued to open them things just got better and better.</p>
<p>In my opinion <strong>your videos can be compared to any of the best speed programs out there.</strong></p>
<p>I am not very well versed in program design. So it&#8217;s hard for me to address such things as technique and form. But as far as results I have found nothing better at any price.</p>
<p>Finally there&#8217;s accuracy. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Every time I validated the skills in the video with other programs the results are virtually the same.</span> Except for skill building which I thought was easy to follow.</p>
<p>I could go on and on but I&#8217;ll save the rest for my next testimonial.</p>
<p>Please keep up the quality workmanship for those of us who are working with very limited budgets.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kindest Regards,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Nutritional Guide for Athletes</strong></p>
<p>In order to maximize your training gains over the summer you need to put the proper nutrition into your body. Below are some general guidelines to help with a healthy energy filled nutrition plan.</p>
<ul>
<li>1. Eat breakfast everyday</li>
</ul>
<p>Breakfast is a very important meal. It jumpstarts your body and gets the metabolism going. This helps get you out of starvation mode which, in this mode, your body conserves body fat. By eating breakfast, your metabolism picks up and energy is given to the body. If eating breakfast is difficult, eat something small. Even a protein drink would work well. Since workouts are so early in the morning, eat something at least ½ hour prior to beginning workouts. Protein shakes work very well.</p>
<ul>
<li>2. Eat 6 to 7 meals during the day</li>
</ul>
<p>Small balanced meals eaten every 3 to 4 hours is the best way for your body to give it the proper nutrients at the proper time during the day. Having protein, carbohydrates and some fat is ideal with every meal, allowing your body to stay high in energy. An ideal balance is 25% protein, 55% carbohydrates and 20% fat. Every time you eat, your metabolism actually increases in order to process the foods, so this aids in fat loss, if this is one of your goals.</p>
<ul>
<li>3. Eat more lean protein</li>
</ul>
<p>Protein is helpful for rebuilding the tissues damaged when you workout and stay active. It has also been found ideal to have a good source of protein prior to a workout.</p>
<ul>
<li>4. Eat something healthy after your workout</li>
</ul>
<p>At approximately ½ hour after your workout, eat a good source of protein and carbohydrates to fuel your body and aid in recovery.</p>
<ul>
<li>5. Eat foods lower in fat and sugar</li>
</ul>
<p>Avoid foods that have a higher percentage of fat and sugar.</p>
<ul>
<li>6. Drink plenty of water</li>
</ul>
<p>Drink a minimum of eight 8 ounce glasses of water each day.</p>
<ul>
<li>7. Get enough sleep every night</li>
</ul>
<p>Eight hours of sleep allows the ideal amount of recovery time after a stressful workout. Your body does all its healing at night when sleeping so give set yourself up to fully recover every night.</p>
<p>Increasing muscle tissue is important in order to compete in today&#8217;s athletic world. The more muscle you have, the stronger and more powerful you will be. Also, with more muscle, your body tends to lose more body fat as it has more fat burning potential.</p>
<p><strong><em>Protein:</em></strong>            fish, chicken, tuna, lean red meat, turkey, low fat dairy products</p>
<p><strong><em>Carbs:              </em></strong>oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, sweet potatoes, beans, fruits, veggies</p>
<p><strong><em>Fat:      </em></strong>            fish, nuts, peanut butter</p>

These are very important to develop the speed you want and need to compete in sports today, but there are other things that often get missed that will give you that extra stability and strength to help you excel even more. I am speaking of the muscles that do internal rotation and external rotation (turn your leg in and out). Many times these muscles are not developed as well as they could be and because of this, I find other muscles working too hard and eventually getting injured (hamstring pulls for example).</p>
<p> Make sure to incorporate a few of the following exercises in your training routine:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Internal rotations: Lying on stomach with knee bent at 90 degrees and cable or tubing on your ankle, turn your leg in so the foot goes out (trust me, this is internal rotation of the hip) This can also be done seated or standing.</li>
<li>External rotations: Lying on stomach with knee bent at 90 degrees and cable or tubing on your ankle, turn your leg out so the foot goes in. This can also be done seated or standing.</li>
<li>Hip flexion with internal rotation: Standing with cable or tubing on your ankle, turn your leg in, lift the leg out to the front of you with foot still pointing in.</li>
<li>Hip abduction with internal rotation: Standing with cable or tubing on your ankle, turn your leg in, lift the leg out to the side with foot still pointing in.</li>
<li>Hip flexion with external rotation: Standing with cable or tubing on your ankle, turn your leg out, lift the leg out to the front of you with foot still pointing out.</li>
<li>Hip abduction with external rotation: Standing with cable or tubing on your ankle, turn your leg out, lift the leg out to the side with foot still pointing out.</li>
<li>Wall hip flexion with internal rotation: Lying on your back with hip against wall, leg against wall is turned in so toe is pointed in, lift straight leg up.</li>
<li>Wall hip abduction with internal rotation: Lying on your side with back against wall, top leg is turned in so toe is pointed down, lift straight leg up.</li>
</ul>
<p> There are several ways you can incorporate rotation in your routine. These are just a few things that can assist in the overall hip development. Add these in so that you can better develop hip strength which will equate to speed.</p>

<p>Now that you are improving your ability to stay centered and have a better awareness of your body, let&#8217;s try to focus your energy in a specific manner. You will need a partner to help you out with this. First, make a circle with your thumb and index finger. The fingers should be fingertip to fingertip, not pad to pad. Squeeze your fingers together as tight as you can and have your partner try to pull them apart. Most likely this can be done quite easily. No matter how hard you squeeze, it is highly likely that your partner can pull them apart.</p>
<p> So now, lie down on your back. Begin to circle breathe and center your qi. Once centered, you will try to do the same thing again but with a little different focus. When making the circle, imagine that the circle is a never ending piece of steel. It has no openings, no beginnings and no ends. It is a solid circle that can not be pulled apart. It is impossible. When you have this focus down and you still have your body centered, have your partner try to pull your fingers apart again. As long as you maintain your focus and centering of your body, your fingers will not be pulled apart. As soon as you lose your focus or your center, it will be pulled quite easily. Many times while doing this, people will state that they feel they don&#8217;t squeeze as hard and they don&#8217;t feel their fingertips. It is as though it became one finger looped together.</p>
<p> Exercises such as this will help with focus during athletic events.</p>

<p> The depth of a squat is a frequently discussed topic. Many professionals, coaches, and athletes will debate this question until they are blue in the face. So why do I bring it up here? It is a good question, but one that should be understood before answering. When I am asked this question, my first response will be, &#8220;It depends.&#8221; Let&#8217;s look at factors that may alter the answer.</p>
<p> When looking at any exercise, the first question you should ask is &#8220;What is the goal of performing the exercise?&#8221; &#8220;What are the benefits from performing the squat?&#8221; In the terms of an athlete, the squat, in general, is a good overall exercise, if applied properly, for increasing strength, power, and explosiveness. It is intended to enhance your ability to run, jump, and move during your sport of choice.</p>
<p> <a href="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/squat2.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-578" title="squat2" src="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/squat2-177x300.gif" alt="squat2" width="177" height="300" /></a>Another factor may be the sport you play. Some sports require more strength and power in different knee angles and may be beneficial to go lower. Examples may be football and volleyball. Several sports do not require the athlete to go very low in their stance and may never even approach a position of knee flexion greater than 60 degrees while applying a load through the joint, such as swimming or possibly soccer.</p>
<p> Another factor is what is the structure of the individual&#8217;s body? How are you built? Do you have existing ankle/knee/hip/back issues? Do you get appropriate range of motion in all the joints involved? Can you control these joints appropriately through the range of motion you want to go through? What are the proportions of your body? Is the relationship of your tibia/fibula (lower leg) to your femur (thigh) to your torso appropriate in order to go to the desired depth you choose?<a href="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/squat-diagram.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-579" title="squat-diagram" src="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/squat-diagram-172x300.jpg" alt="squat-diagram" width="172" height="300" /></a></p>
<p> Another factor is how much weight are you using? If you are using just body weight, the depth chosen may be lower than when adding on external resistance. In actuality, as the resistance increases, the range of motion will likely decrease appropriately according to the control you can provide.</p>
<p> Another factor is the speed at which you perform the lift. Are you able to control all aspects of the lift? During every rep, there are several different parts to it, such as an isometric, lowering of the weight, another isometric during change of direction, and lifting of the weight. During each phase mentioned, there are actually even more phases, such as acceleration and deceleration. If these phases are not controlled appropriately, forces that transfer through the joints and soft tissues may increase exponentially, namely when going from lowering the weight to raising the weight.</p>
<p> Many will just conform to the rules of a squat and several times this is applied to the sport of powerlifting. Here, the thighs are to reach parallel to the floor. Which part of the thighs? The anterior aspect, middle, or posterior part? How wide are the feet going to be? As the feet get wider, the less distance you will likely travel to reach a lower depth.</p>
<p> The squat is an interesting topic of discussion and as you can see, has several different aspects that need to be considered when deciding to perform the exercise. Some of the factors I introduced are just that, some of the factors. There are many others that should be considered on top of these mentioned here. If applied appropriately, the squat has been shown to be a powerful tool in reaching the goal of enhancing an athlete&#8217;s ability to perform during a sport. The depth to go to during the squat is often a debatable topic and one that should consider all factors for that specific individual when choosing to go to that level.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bench-press-big.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-475" title="bench-press-big" src="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bench-press-big-300x122.jpg" alt="bench-press-big" width="300" height="122" /></a>The bench press is a traditional lift that many have used to increase strength and power in the upper body. It is an exercise that is traditionally targeting the pectoralis major, deltoids, and triceps. We are all familiar with the movement: lie on your back on a bench, lift the bar off the rack, bring it down to your chest, and then press back up. Your grip may vary from being close to wide. Ideally, you control it and avoid &#8220;bouncing&#8221; it off your chest. Also, avoid arching your back so much that your hips come off the bench. This is traditionally what is done.</p>
<p> Since we all know this, why do we perform this lift? I guess I already said that it enhances strength and power in the upper body, but at what risk? What are the forces involved in the involved joints and is this helping or hurting? Well, this brings us to a quick anatomy lesson.</p>
<p> The pectoralis major (chest muscle) attaches along the clavicle (collar bone), sternum (middle of the chest), and ribs and goes out to the humerus (upper arm bone) about 1/4<sup>th</sup> the way down. The action this muscle performs at the shoulder during this lift is to bring the arm up and in to midline of the body. The deltoid (shoulder muscle) attaches to the clavicle and scapula (shoulder blade) and goes on the humerus about ½ way down. This muscle also helps perform the same actions as the pectoralis major in this lift. The shoulder joint, or the glenohumeral joint, has the shapes of a ball and socket, or better yet, a ball and saucer. The glenoid, which is a part of the scapula, can be visualized by taking a regular paper plate and cutting two straight lines off the sides opposite each other so the top and bottom have a little lip and the front and back do not. Take the end of the humerus, which has a shape of a ball for the end, and roll it around on this plate. As you can see, the joint itself does not have much stability in the design. It is good for a lot of movement.</p>
<p> Now, in order to perform the bench press properly, you have to have forces that keep the joint surfaces in contact with each other, in the right place, while moving the arm up and in towards midline of the body to get the bar off your chest. There are several joint forces involved, but the one I am going to bring up is the one that brings the humerus up. There is a force that your body will produce that will try to rip the ball off the glenoid by pulling it up. This is a normal force that we produce all the time, so what is the big deal?</p>
<p> Well, let&#8217;s look at what happens when the elbow goes lower than your shoulder joint or body while on your back. The muscles on the front of the shoulder now are in position to pull the humerus up more. The angle the humerus makes is in great position to slide off the joint with the anterior shoulder muscles pull. Now let&#8217;s add on a lot of weight and add a little speed. This will increase the forces involved and bring up the stress on your joint. This is more of a shear stress (across the joint) which can cause trauma to this area. Have you ever had soreness after benching in the front of your shoulder? Are you sure it was a &#8220;good&#8221; soreness?</p>
<p> Now, I will bring up the point that much of this is dependant upon the person&#8217;s anatomical build. Traditionally, if you look at the best bench pressers, they all have big barrel chests and short arms and forearms. When the bar touches their chest, their elbows are still in front of the shoulder joint and they have less of an upward pull on the glenohumeral joint. Those individuals that have more of a narrow thickness (front to back) to the chest and longer arms and forearms will have more of the shearing stresses I am speaking of. Now, someone with this build can help this by widening their grip on the bar. They may also tend to arch their back more. They may also choose to put a towel or something on their chest so they don&#8217;t go down as far. All of these things will help in decreasing the elbow&#8217;s chances of going lower than the shoulder joint itself.</p>
<p> So another question to ask is why perform the lift? Your coach tells you to. It is what always has been done. If you lift weights, or know someone who lifts weights, the question everyone asks is, &#8220;What do you bench?&#8221; Or better yet, &#8220;What ya bench?&#8221; If you didn&#8217;t bench, you can&#8217;t answer this question. And you don&#8217;t want to go through a whole explanation as to why you don&#8217;t, so you just do it. Well, how many sports do you play that need you to be on your back, pressing something off your chest with both arms and the thing you are pushing is solid and not moving? I am not suggesting that you only perform lifts that simulate the actual sporting movements and I have another article discussing this, but look at application of the lift and carryover to the sport. I don&#8217;t know of any sport that fits all categories I asked except one, power lifting event, the bench press. Any time I have seen someone pushing another off their chest; it is after they have already been beat. So, is there something else that might be a better or comparable alternative?</p>
<p> <a href="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dumbell-bench-press.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-476" title="dumbell-bench-press" src="http://achieveoptimalperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dumbell-bench-press.jpg" alt="dumbell-bench-press" width="255" height="268" /></a>How about the dumbbell chest press? This movement will work similar muscles. Each arm has to work independently of another. There is a lot of stability work involved. There is not a bar that will dictate the range of motion you go through. You can also focus on the movement of the limbs involved rather than &#8220;pushing up&#8221;. Now, your weight will most likely drop quite a bit. But that is not always a bad thing. You will gain more control of the movement and place less stress on the joints itself, if performed properly. This movement may actually apply to more sports as well. When you engage with someone or something, it traditionally will be one arm at a time or if both arms engage, it probably is still not very controlled or evenly distributed between both arms.</p>
<p> Now, the bench press does have many positives and is not a bad lift. The thing that may make it bad is the application of the lift and the user involved. If you follow the rules of the body rather than the rules of a lift, you will always win.</p>

We will now expand upon this. While lying down, center yourself again. Start with the ball at your forehead. Begin circle breathing and bring your qi down to your belly. Once it is there and you can keep it there, let&#8217;s begin the next part, becoming aware of your body.</p>
<p> While lying there and your eyes are closed, let&#8217;s find out how the body is functioning. We will start with your feet. I want you to contract your feet and toes. Squeeze them as well as you can and hold it for about 2 seconds. Now, let them relax and feel the energy exit out the tips of your toes. Move up to your calves. Contract your calves and feet. Feel how they are. Then relax and let the energy flow down your calves, through your ankles, feet and exit out your toes. Now your thighs are next. Contract your quads and hamstrings along with your calves and feet. Feel how they are and hold it. Then relax. Let the energy exit your thighs through your knees, calves, ankles, feet and toes. Next is your glutes. Tighten your glutes and legs down to your toes. Hold for 2 seconds then relax. Let the energy travel down your legs to exit your toes. Moving up to your abdominals and low back, contract your abs, low back, and glutes down to your toes. Hold, then relax, exiting through your toes. Now contract your upper torso. This is your chest and upper back. Do this along with your abs, low back, and down your legs. Relax letting the energy exit your toes. We will move to your fingers and hands. Contract and squeeze your fingers and hands. Hold it for about 2 seconds and let the energy exit out your fingers. Next contract your forearms and hands. Hold and then feel the energy exit your fingers. Now your upper arm (biceps and triceps) will be contracted with the rest of your arms and hands. Let the energy exit your fingers again. We will move up to your shoulders next. Contract and squeeze the shoulders all the way to your fingers. Next relax and let the energy go down your arms and out your fingers. Move up to your next and face at this time. Squeeze your neck, face, shoulders, and arms to fingers. Let them relax while the energy exits your fingers. Lastly, we will contract your whole body. Hold and feel everything in your body and then relax and let the energy exit your fingers and your toes.</p>
<p> While doing this, make sure you keep your qi centered. Keep circle breathing and be aware of your body at all times. Practice this and gain better awareness of your body. This increased awareness will increase your ability to move and react when performing your sport.</p>
