Feed Forward Mechanism and Awareness

So on the first moves here, the single leg BB loaded wall sits, when i went into the first set, left leg was not feeling it

I’ve had some pain in that side in the past, and its generally weaker

Like when i do the single leg depth drops, the left side will normally be lower than the right, by 6-12 inches once up to max height

But today was interesting cause i was able to tap into something and actually get the full 30 sec on em, even tho at the start felt like i was gonna fail in the first 5 sec

Made me think of the feed forward control mechanism I’ve talked about a bit in the past, cause that’s what it felt like

Being able to predict what failures are going to happen in the future

And being able to adjust in real time right now so those don’t happen

So it was literally like feels like knee is going to give out here in 5 sec

My response to that, predicting that’s what was going to happen, was dig into the ground in a different way, literally like go deeper into the feeling i had in my chest, and take some attention that was elsewhere and put it fully into that move because to not do so would mean a fail

And in doing that, was able to get the full 30 sec

Makes me think of a different convo i was having a couple weeks back

Where we were talking about how to know whether something is good or bad for you (too much or too little)

And my response was basically

Just make sure it’s good for you

Like be so fully present and aware and on purpose, that you know what you’re doing

And that’s it

I think it’s something we’ve all had at some time

But over a period of losses and failures may lose to some degree

Doesn’t mean we can’t get it back

It’s basically just about making it go right

Just make sure it goes right

And yeah it might take more effort and energy and attention

But that’s what we’re after

Like actually try - actually pay attention - actually be willing to go into it

Been the most important part of training for me

If you’re worried about your knee breaking…

Just make sure it doesn’t.
