Found out at Wado class tonight that I’ll be testing for 2nd brown belt on Monday along with my wife and another guy testing for 3rd brown. A little bit of a surprise because the test was scheduled for Saturday while I was in the east. But my wife and the other guy couldn’t make it for one reason or another (something about being sick or working).
Should be fun, I’ll see if I can get somebody to video some of the festivities.[/quote]
I’ll look forward to the video, and congrats on the test.
We have Suzuki coming into town this fall, should be interesting to meet him. Missed a tournament, I was still running a fever and my wife wouldn’t drive me if I couldn’t drive myself down to where everyone was carpooling. I’m still working on stretching, mobility and vocabulary, so many words used differently.
Like the club though, like it a lot.

Feeling more in the groove today and reversed my decision to stick to the reps. Maybe should have stuck to my guns because I couldn’t get the rep PR on the money set…

We’ll see if the video works out…
It’s good to hear from you. You ought to hang out here with the crew a bit more often
100x13? Damn, dog. That sounds like a groove to me.
Feels good to be back in the saddle. Once the iron getting it’s hooks in, one never strays far. Good luck with the 2nd brown belt test. Stay strong Bro!
MPress is really coming along. Try staggering your feet a little to increase your stability.

Hey. At least you haven’t staggered back and bounced off the wall before regaining your stance 
Nice work soldog.
That’s a load of chins. Nice work.
Nice work Dog,
I like your volume!!
kmc
Serious volume on the chins there SD.
Thanks guys - arms and back are feeling Saturday’s session today
Testing was quick and dirty at the end of Wado class last night. I had no chance to get the camera out and ask someone to video - ah well… We’ll find out on Wednesday evening the results but I expect that we all passed.
Doesn’t it feel good to find a workout that works well. The 5/3/1 seems to be that workout for you. Great training.

I like the uncomplicated programing with the built in flexibility and, yes, it feels good…
Thanks eco!
