29 SEP: Weights and heavy bag

We did a really nice 3-movement circuit, repeated 3 times. I only went through the circuit twice, as my main workout is planned for 9/30.

Circuit:
a) 25lb medicine ball squat + overhead throw(AKA wallball): 15 reps
b) 20 lb dumbbell plank row: 10 reps
c) 95 lb jump shrug: 10 reps

After this we did heavy bag work, with emphasis on rotational movements, such as hooks, Thai round kick, and knee to liver

3 rounds: 2 min work, 5 minute rest*
*Normally there wouldn't be so much rest, but we had 3 people working on one heavy bag.

Does "knee to liver" mean you only used your left knee? Or did you run around the back side of the bag to knee it in the liver with your other knee? Maybe a bag has 2 livers. This sounds like a pretty good one, though.

You are such a spaz. How about calling it a "rotationally delivered knee to the side of your opponent or heavy bag using either knee"?

My current plan is paying off in the form of major leaps in endurance, tighter physique, and fat loss.  The schedule is: Mon - whole body Tue - arms Wed - whole body Thu - off Fri - whole body Sat - arms Sun - off My torso has always grown faster than my arms and I need to build proportion, so they get 2 dedicated sessions a week.  A typical whole body session runs like this: 1. Single leg calf raise: 3-100 method* 2. 10 min EMOM: Big power movement like deadline, or snatch grip high pull, or clean&press.  Start at 10x3 and stick with the same weight till you can perform 10x6.  Rotate between 5-6 movements every session. 3. Conditioning circuit 1: 5 rounds of   A. Pushup progression   B. Pick a single leg squat patte...

The Warrior's Path

This year has been a real test of character, and I have to say, I  passed with probably a B+, or maybe A-.   What makes a warrior different from the ordinary man is not whether he faces obstacles or not. We all face obstacles.  No; what makes a warrior different is how he faces the obstacles. An ordinary man and a warrior will both map out a course to  their objective. The ordinary man will get distracted along the way.  He might see the trail up the mountain and convince himself he never really wanted to reach his objective. When his arms go numb from shouldering the load, he discards item from his pack he suddenly sees as unnecessary.  He might sprain an ankle, call 911 and decide the course is too dangerous for any sane person to attempt.  So much the better, because now he has plenty of time for other more important things.  Isn't it football season anyway? The ordinary man makes excuses to stay ordinary. The warrior notices and ...
