Olympic Watching & Busy Days

Olympics

I love watching the games every four years. It's amazing to me every time a world record gets broken. I always end up asking: Just how much better can you possible become?!

As far as TKD: The games this year had me question how I feel about the art as a sport. I saw a lot of calls I thought were way off. Many no points, and a lot of kicks to the back that ended up being scored. I was dissapointed to see Peru not medal.

I'll go ahead and say I'm not the biggest fan o... Read More



Tonight's Training
Posted On 07/29/2008 21:54:50 by skyline81
I've got about two weeks until my next stripe test. Last time I tested, I passed despite feeling a bit ill. This time I'm feeling at the top of my game and would like to blow this test out of the water.  My instructor had to take off early and let me teach one of the adult classes. I left the last 15 minutes as an open mat. Beforehand we did a lot of jumping rope, as well as push ups and crunches...

What we did:

100 Jump Rope; 10 Push-Ups
100 Jump Rope; 9 Push-Ups
100 Ju... Read More

General

Well, today is the Independence Day of The United States. It's a rainy day here, but I still consider it a great day. Yesterday, I had an awesome workout on my own, after working the whole day. I hosted an open mat for the adult TKD students, which they seemed to appreciate. I'm thinking it might be something to consider regularly. Since I was being so good with my workouts, I refrained from any alcohol later that night when I saw my friends. The night didn't end real well, due to... Read More

Health and fitness -- Strength Training (4 sets for each exercise)

My last week of power training. The next couple of weeks will most likely be improvised, until I can think of a new way I'd like to train. I did Seated Russian Twists (Rotational -- 8 reps) and Power Snatches (Explosive) on all four days. All exercises: 4 Sets, 4 Reps. Monday
Knee Dominant (bilateral): Barbell Overhead Squat
Hor. Push (unilateral): Alt DB Chest Press
