I met James Marshall today and learned some Dumbell Complexes

Views: 592 | | Flag | Print |
After reading James Marshall's interview with Istvan Javorek and his subsequent article on weight training complexes, I decided to give him a call to find out if he could help me build some complexes into my weights programme for swimming.

As luck would have it, James (who is based in Devon), was booked to assess a strength and conditioning course at Warwickshire College today, and could fit in an hour to see me.

So I went and he took me through the exercises in a number of complexes that he had chosen for me, based on our telephone conversation. First up, his idea of a warmup, which was challenging in itself. What was I letting myself in for?

Even though it was just a one-off consultancy, James had put some real thought into my needs, and was careful to ensure that I was doing everything with good technique. The complexes themselves were interesting to try and quite challenging - even though we used a light weight today.

We also started to chat about sport, about some of the problems with so many young people coming out of sport science degrees with expectations that they will work in elite sport, and about neworking.

As well as coming out of our session with some new exercises and routines to try, I also met a thoroughly pleasant and professional guy.

Thanks again, James.
