A noble quest, to be sure. I have been jonesing for judo so bad I went to the libraray and got some books on nage no kata and randori no kata just so I can look at pitchers of throws.

Harry, as always, I await your throwing wisdom. I have been going for the arc, and that just means it hits the close ground harder, but not farther.[/quote]

If you want my advice on throwing, go to Responsive Throwing Seminar

Stand left, grip right, throw reverse throws, my old philosophy :wink:

Seriously, that link is the way I taught what I used to do.

Probably get 2 more lifting sessions and 3 throwing before the games Saturday. Workouts are feeling great. Really looking forward to them everyday. Very little DOMS but some tightness. Energy level is real high, attribute this to paying attention to my food intake for once, or could just bethe 2 pots of coffee I drink daily.

206

Looking good Harry!

The walking Lunges/split squats are always fun.

Whats your brand, I need to be brewing some of that stuff! Damn DAMN good training Harry

208

You are strong as hell Harry, that is all.

209

Think I’ll enjoy them more once I get use to them, Schmidt. Just put 1 scoop of grounds per cup to be brewed, Wilson. Least that’s what the wife claims I do. She pours half a cup and adds hot water to it. Thanks Joe, it’s your vids inspire me.

Hg split 2 later this evening I hope. Lots of rain today.

Had me one of those moments this morning at the gym.
I’m getting a couple of dbs for the flyes when,
“Hey, move out the way!”
I look around. About 20’ back from the db racks a guy’s doing dip flexs. Don’t know what else to call them. He’s on the dip bars, goin down about 1", back up, elbows barely bend. He’s pretty, too. Nice sleeveless tshirt showin off his massive 13" gunz, matching workout pants with a logo on them, cute lifting gloves with the wrist wraps, mousse in his hair.
I do my best DeNiro, “You talkin to me?”
“Yeah, you’re blockin the mirror.”
“You’re shittin me”.
“No, helps me do my dips if I watch myself.”
“It ain’t helpin.”
He dismounts, shakes his arms. Walks around fellin the pump he’d worked up. I do my set. He goes for another set, I go for some more dbs.
“Are you trying to piss me off?”
“Yup,workin?”
He left the weight area, but with dignity.
Never said I couldn’t be an asshole on occasion.

You’ve been hitting it hard lately. The 275 clean and press is darned impressive. Hope the throws this weekend follow suit.

214

Funny story. Men are so funny in the gym. I get my fill of laughs every time I go.

Now. That’s not to say that women aren’t equally funny in their own arenas.

215

Holy volume Batman! Only thing that would made that gym exchange only slightly better would be if you threw the DB into the mirror after the second exchange with the fucktard…

216

Thats another thing we have in common, one day I’m going to get kicked out of my gym for some of the things I say to people.

Thats some bad ass pressing Harry.

217

What’s the use of gettin old if you can’t get a little onery?
Don’t get me started on the women in the gym, Ms Snap, “but I was using that bench for my bag!”
Colin, I may be crazy but I’m cheap, too. Ain’t payin for no mirror.
Joe, Most the people at the gym are pretty cool. Just run into one every now and then.

We’re not all like that.

The funniest thing is to visit my gym between 5-8 pm on a Friday night. It’s such a meat market. Both the men and women (all pretty much 20-somethings) primping and preening and flexing and doing nothing of any consequence training-wise.

They would ruin their makeup if they perspired. That goes for the women too.

How the squats feeling these days. I remember you couldn’t do them because of the shoulders, right?
