As it gets boring to be writing on matters of strength training (this is a martial arts blog, after all), I'll dedicate this post to a more specific topic: today's Shinergy[master class].You see, I invited Tom Knöbl, Shinergy[master instructor] to my dojo to share his thoughts on fistfighting. I'm using the term "fistfighting" rather than … Shinergy[master class] weiterlesen
Week 4, Day 1
There's been so much going on last week I didn't really have a chance to post.So today I'm beginning week four of my nine-week program. Sadly, I have to admit I missed quite a few sessions so far.To every bad thing there's a good thing, though. In my case, that's massive strength gains. Chris and … Week 4, Day 1 weiterlesen
No Swimming today
I'll have to skip swimming today. Yesterdays strength training left me sore and tired. Getting up at 6 to begin the day by teaching two classes didn't exactly help that fact. Now if there was nothing more to do for me today, I'd force myself to swim. Still having three classes and a nightly meeting … No Swimming today weiterlesen
Week2, Day 2
Today was strength day. To be precise, we had our "max-squat day". Now that's a good one.Interrestingly, there was no problem with the grip-strength today. On a negative note I missed some reps on the barbell rows as we upped the weight quite drastically.Today's stats:Squat, 1RM: 130KgBench Press, 4x8, 60KgDeadlift, 4x8, 90KgBent-over barbell rows, 4x8, … Week2, Day 2 weiterlesen
Week2, Day 1, It’s worse again
So today I started the 2nd week of my 9-week program.Unfortunately, things have deteriorated for me again.You see, me girl and I, we was at Venice on Saturday, to enjoy Carnival there. The implication, of course, was an 8-hour march through the city. As you can imagine, my ankle didn't like that very much.For me, … Week2, Day 1, It’s worse again weiterlesen
Day 6, Take 2
Just returned from the pool. I feel great.In fact, I feel much better than I did tuesday afternoon.When I'd have to decide for or against swimming after working out in the gym, I'd rather choose to do it. Of course there's downsides to it, but for me the positive aspects far outweight the negative ones.You … Day 6, Take 2 weiterlesen
Day 6
Just returned from my strength training session.There's a good thing and a bad thing:Good thing: I'm currently free of pain.Bad thing: As soon as feeling returns to my body, it'll be agonizing.The routine was the same as last time, only today we upped the weights a bit. Also, today was "bench" day, so we re-estimated … Day 6 weiterlesen
Day 5
Today, I had two training sessions.First, there was rope-skipping. Seven rounds á two minutes with one minute of active rest in between every two of them. Those rest periods were filled by "movement prep" and "prehab" exercises from Mark Verstegens "Core Performance" program. As warmup, I did 10 minutes of joint mobilisation and posture-correcting drills.Second, … Day 5 weiterlesen
No Way
There it was again. The familiar bag on my door that brought me the newest issue of the "district news". Out of pure boredom while riding the bus, I took a lot at the magazine. I'd rather I didn't. I don't usually fret about other people in the fitness industry, but today's experience was too … No Way weiterlesen
Day 4
I just started my day with swimming.It's been both a pain and a pleasure.The routine:I tend to keep my cardio workouts short and intense. Although what I do can't exactly be called an "HIIT" workout, I do employ a form of interval training. As a matter of fact, it's all pretty simple (I said simple, … Day 4 weiterlesen
