The Final Count down: Z - Day! FiCT Part 4

No Pain no Gain Right?
With the Fict Finals now literally less than a few hours away. Zuriah Davis finds herself mentally preparing to face off against many other determined individuals.
 
Having spent the last two weeks ensuring that she didn't over train but still improved her performance. Zuriah worked extensively with Thera-bands, assisted resitance training for her pull ups. Which during week one she was unable to perform unassisted. By Tuesday - 7/02/12 she was able to perform 5 consecutively without assistance - making for a total of ten in a set. 

While this may not seem like a big deal to some - 5 pull ups; it is a laudable achievement and I must congratulate her on the hard work she has put in!! 

Another weakness which received considerable attention this last stretch has been Zee's lower abdominal's - the "L" seat being a particular issue.
We discovered that by altering the orientation of her toes - we were able to maintain a much better "L" seat, although the duration was still quite low. 
 

 

These shots are a pretty good indicator of how a simple change of angle could improve Zee's "L" Sit. Simply pointing her toes. Her endurance in the "seat" has improved but will it be enough?


 

 

Flowing!



Zuriah -  has been one of the most committed and determined people I've met recently. Her determination to participate and do well on such a short time frame has been inspiring to say the least! 6 weeks from start to finish.

Saturday the 11 of February 2012 sees Zee step up and face this challenge head on. Whatever the outcome - she has already pushed herself and achieved beyond what she was physically able to perform in the past. Stamina, strength, power and endurance have grown! 

I look forward to seeing her participate tomorrow. I have faith in her because she does crazy things like, enter the next event before she's finished this one. :D it's that will that I have faith in. Its her O.C.D. 
Organised. Committed.Determined
