Constant Training

   So when I started training, I knew nothing about fitness regimes or rep schemes. I just went out every day and hammered it. The skills I learned were based on whatever occurred to me at the time. As I got better, I started reading all the fitness advice for this and that. I incorporated a lot of different ideas, threw some ideas away, and certainly failed quite alot. One practical concept that seems to have stuck through all of that is the grease the groove method which I first heard from Pavel. Handstands and bent arm handstand presses benefited quite a lot from this method.The idea is simply to do whatever skill/strength movement you're working on throughout the day at a low enough intensity so that you don't get burned out. Training throughout the day gives you a high volume without fatigue so you're 'greasing the neurological groove', treading the neurological pathway over and over again. I was able to go for longer a lot quicker I think than I would if had a very strict program where I did 3 sets of whatever at a very specific time of day.
     So it works great for performance and building strength but the real brilliance with this way of training is that it prevents you from compartmentalizing your movement into that special time block 3 times a week. I've been stuck there myself where I felt good enough to do something but was waiting so that I could stick to my structured game plan. One can still make progress this way but, personally, it made me a bit psychologically weird about training. Anytime that you feel like you can't do something when you want to movement-wise, barring injury, there's something wrong with your way of thinking. We're not competitive athletes, we don't have to get bogged down with advanced russian periodization protocols, we're not robots. We change our training with the seasons and the environment we place ourselves in.
    Even though I don't believe in super structured training at the moment sometimes we might prepare for certain trips in locations that we can't be in all the time which is why it's important to understand all the exercise science stuff. The point is not to let it rule you or prevent you from moving more than you should.
