I forgto my password for like a year. Hence the duplicate profile. Well I am back. I'm also back in training after my move out to the country. Fall of 09 should see me disgracing myself on the mats again :) It's the POST SEASON. W00t. I'm looking forward to the next couple of weekends, I really thing Wa-Hi is ready to make it's mark in the post season this year. FIRE IT UP! more »

Never did make weight this year. Ugh. I'll keep plugging away for '08/'09. I'm close to weight now and much stronger and in better shape than last year. Clothes are loose and I am heavier. That's OK by me :)

I did note (and I'm kinda slow on this I am sure) that ASU has lost it's wrestling program. And that Kerry McCoy bailed from Stanford for some school in Md. With the added loss of U of Oregon, I suspect this is the beginning of the end for PAC 10 wrestling and for the most part… more »

4AM was early. I got up, I did the workout. I feel good :) more »

Well stacking wood yesterday was no fun. But at least I finished before the rain started.

I hit the bands and the bike for a couple of hours again today. Starting to feel like I know what I am doing again. Tomorrow is the first 4 AM workout. I need the time (afternoons are totally booked) and getting my body moving after I have spent all night burning off free carbohydrates is a good way to burn fat.

Work out when you wake up, eat nothing until your done with the workout (make sure… more »

Well I finally completed one of the "Bands/Bike" workouts. Took about 2 hours and whipped me pretty good. Weight is good, too. So far I am on track to make my goals for this month.

WAHI team inched past Ike (Yakima, WA). Some good results, some not so much. Had a good workout with the big guys yesterday and really started to see some action. I like how the team is shaping up.

We have Wenatchee this Saturday, and I have a 60' pine tree to split into firewood. Chopping wood is… more »

Has a nice example of how the underhook can pay off in high level competition. I like it! more »

Well Sunday (yeaterday) was a mixed day. I completed about 50% of my "bands" workout (bands/bike/calisthenics). With added bike (new since last year) its taking longer and whipping me faster. That's cool. I think when I have mastered the exisiting workout I'll be in great shape to take things to the next level in my training.

Now if I could only find a training partner...

I get lots of anarobic & strengh from the bands, but I needed to add in the "go ape turds for 2 minutes" high output cardio. I'm rebuilding my… more »

Well I'm a computer nerd by trade, and this is my first Blog post ever. I feel so hip. Anyway, I've wanted to blog about my training for some time, so flow seems to be as good a place as any. Someone on this site MIGHT care.

First a bit of background.

It started around my birthday in 2004. I decided I was getting old enough, that an annual physical was not a bad idea. I had self assessed myself as “in pretty good shape” physically, so I figured I had nothing to… more »
