TRAINING:

10AM-

Here is example of my one mile of movement. Loaded carry counts as 3X the distance. I walked constantly between sets, and according to some fitness app on my phone I actually covered about 2.5 miles total during the hour I spent doing this.

I know a good goal is 10,000 steps per day, and even though during about 90% of my most active part of the day my phone was not with me, I still managed 6,000 steps according to the app.

2000FT…

TRAINING:

31 GETUPS, SUPERSETTED WITH PULLUP LADDERS.

I actually made this a light day, because I knew it would take me right at an hour to get it done, and I knew that will the 90 pullups I would get in it would be a good session regardless of the weight. I only went up to the 32kg for getups, to work at a relatively comfortable pace with no risk of…

TRAINING:

Knees were feeling like crap today, and I hadn't gotten my windmills in for a while. I decided to step them up a little today.

5PM-

Taekwon-Do Hyung practice

10 x 10 2-arm swings with 36kg

6 x 5 windmills with 36kg (an acceptable substitute for getups, in a pinch)

That is a lot of windmills with a fairly significant amount, now that I look at it. I was a little sore later that night after. No…

ATTENTION: "FRIEND REQUESTS" FROM STRANGERS.

Hey everyone,

I apologize that a spammer slipped through the cracks and has bugged a few of you. He is blocked now. 

 

There is not much you can do about them, but I wouldn't accept "friend requests" from anyone you don't know personally. I try my best to keep these guys out, but sometimes they weasel their way in.

 

Thanks for understanding.

-Jim

TRAINING:

5PM-

I was planning a light day with 24kg getups between Taekwon-do hyungs, but when I started getups my IT bands pretty much screamed at me all the way though that it was not going to happen. I did what I would have suggested to someone else and substituted windmills.

So, after my first few getups and the rest of my hyung practice, I did 4 X 5 behind-the-back windmills with 24kg. My back and piriformis was ridiculously tight, so maybe that had…

NUTRITION:

Hardly ate today. Not stressing about it, though. After my initial workout I just wasn't that hungry. I did snack here and there while working on a project. Not even going to try to log it, either.

I do know that I ate a TON the day before, so not being hungry today is not a big deal at all. I know my body…
