Which is your first pattern? Are they the same as TAGB?

Errrrr dunno

[Kwacky]

If it's the same as TAGB then it's four directional punch. http://www.blackbeltschools.com/syllabu ... attern=953" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Technially it's not a pattern, it's an exercise.

Your first pattern is Chon Ji http://www.blackbeltschools.com/syllabu ... attern=940" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you follow the TAGB patterns and grading at your club then that blackbelt school website needs to go in your favourties, it's invaluable.

Op Massive must be starting to work, I've had a couple of comments this week leading me to think that the copious amounts of chicken and protein I've been consuming as well as the 2 gym sessions per day are paying off.
Or at least starting to.

In the gym on Friday I saw a couple of my students. One of them came over and said
"f****ng hell, look at the guns on you!"

They're nowhere near as big as I want them to be, but it was a nice compliment nonetheless.

I still don't have any definition, but I'm going for mass so I can't expect miracles!

I got another session in today. I did back with some light deadlifts.

To be honest I think he was more shocked because he'd gone from seeing me in a Dustcoat over my uniform, which hides all kinds of "physiques" pretty well, to seeing me in a RAF issue t-shirt at least one size too small!

But I'll still take it as a win!

Squats on Friday
Deadlifts on Saturday
Riding all day on Sunday
Walking like John Wayne on Monday.

its' my inner thighs more than anything, they feel like they're in a vice.

Is this Craig David's new song?

Leg day today.
Squats, followed by trap bar deadlifts.

Which threatened to bring on last night's headache. (I think the rideout took more out of me than I realised)

Then more leg work at lunchtime, which definitely brought the headache on, so had to cut it short.

[Kwacky]

Taekwondo. Which is really hard to do when you've got leg DOMS.

[Perkles]

Did loads of core work tonight ,zillions of sit ups and leg raises etc,I'm starting to feel more toned up which is good.Im still a fat bastard though

[Itchy]

Shoulder is giving me real grief.

Don't know what I've done to it, feels like super DOMS but I haven't done shoulders in 2 weeks.

Not sure if I've pulled something putting a tantrummy child to bed, or if it's something to do with when I dislocated it (I was doing trap bar deadlifts on Monday, may have pulled something but felt nothing at the time.), or what.

But it hurts.

[Kwacky]

Easing back in with a mix of squats, overhead press and deadlifts. I was very weak on the deadlifts.

Kenyan hills last night, 4 x 6 mins at 80% effort on a very demanding hill with only 90 secs recovery. I'm fecking knackered today

A lesson of stretching last night,it made me wish I was younger my old bones and muscles aren't as flexible as they used to be .The kids can stretch to the sky ,but anyhow I'm really enjoying it and starting to feel the benefits both mentally and physically

[Itchy]

Shoulder is better.

Went to bed on Wednesday with it giving me gyp, woke up Thursday morning without even a hint of pain.
I wonder if I trapped a nerve or something.

Anyhoo, I decided to give the weights a miss for the week,no point in pushing it.
But I had half an hour spare this aft so I decided to give my new gloves a try on the bag.

20 minutes later and I'm absolutely knackered!

I really should get round to sorting my cardio out!

[Itchy]

Because about half of it was spent teaching my 6 year old how to punch!

[Kwacky]

Back to strength training following my lay off from the gym, so back on the 5x5
