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…

Is Body Fat Percentage Important?



I am not a big fan of measuring body fat percentage and never have been. Why?



No one really cares about how low…

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…

NUTRITION:

As some of you know, I recently completed the Primal Blueprint Expert certification. I really learned more than I ever thought I would from it and it has been a great help to me in my business. If anyone has been on the fence about it, you might want to act soon because I understand the price of the course is going to jump. My only word of advice is not to underestimate this course if you decide to take it.…
