Notes: 2:40 between sets of back work. Clean pulls are becoming more and more natural. Got some solid explosion out of them. Got to test out my Ironmaster add ons, and they're clutch. They also look like a before and after add for some sort of supplement.
TSD was a decent enough workout last night. We did a kicking drill where we'd hit one wavemaster, run to another, hit it, then lunge our way back to the start. Got to officially learn the roundhouse yesterday, which means I can start using it as part of my striking. I liked how they taught power generation for it: very similar to the Thai roundhouse, stepping out with the non-kicking side and pivoting. Not a big fan of striking with the ball of my foot vs my shin, but I'm here to learn.
LUNCHTIME WORKOUT
50 minute walk w/80lb vest
Notes: It was 100 degrees today with the heat index, and those kind of opportunities can't get passed up. Vested up and found some hilly parts to plod along. I was due for something lower intensity: I was hurting today.
"ball of my foot vs my shin" Oh wow that's interesting. Honestly even though I did Muay Thai and favor it, it's so common as the "right" way to strike that techniques from other systems are really cool to me. Also, nice dumbbells!
ReplyDeleteThe dumbbells are sweet, thanks! And yeah, I've learned ball of foot striking in TKD and am familiar with it, it makes sense in a paradigm of not wanting to do shin conditioning/wearing shoes, but it's just too damn precise, haha.
