BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com


I'm still not 100% and am busy building that website and don't have much free time. So I've continued to opt for the Krav Maga over the weights.

Today we have a fun exercise. I forget the name (if it even has one), but it's called an Aggression Exercise. One guy loops a strap over your midsection from behind and another stands in from of you with a tombstone. Your goal is to march across the mat (about 50 feet) trying to punch the tombstone while the guy behind you tries to hold you back. And you have to do it for two minutes (back and forth). I like Aggression Exercises. I'm the only person in the class that went twice.

On a side note, I placed my third option trade today. It's an iron condor (62.5, 65, 57.5, 55) on coca-cola (KO). The risk/reward is about 2/1. Which is pretty good. Even more so when you factor in the odds.

Sounds like your sort of exersice DOMS, I bet you picture Mexican's in front of you.......the whole class can't hold you back.

Oh, and an iron condor won't fly. You should not take advice from danny81international-stocks.com , not a good advisor.

Sounds like an interesting class. If you do 3 rounds of the aggression exercise, do they refer you for counseling?

You really do know me. I picture a Mexican every time I need to dig deep.

Dube, danny81international-stocks.com just sent me an email alert telling me to put all my money in Enron. They're the shizznit!

Thanks, Brother Archangel!

At the end of most workouts, the instructor gives us a little Krav Dessert. If there is anytime left over after we've studied the techniques in class, our instructor will do whatever he can to grind us into the ground. That's Krav Dessert.

One example of what we do during that time is putting our feel out wide to the sides, dipping our butts as low as we can go (many arts call this the horse stance), and then having us hold a 15 pound medicine ball out in front. Then we have to take 6 inch steps to the side, all the way down the mat (50 feet or so) two times. And that's never enough to fill the time for Krav Dessert.

I don't think my instructor actually thought that anyone would take him up on the offer. At least the look of surprise on his face made me think so.

A tombstone is a hand-held punching mat that's about 18 inches wide, 36 inches wide, and 6 inches deep.

Krav Maga is the martial art that pretty much everyone in Israel who deals with violence uses. From body guards right on up to Mossad (the Israeli FBI/CIA).

The trading is going okay. If my current position works out (my third trade), I'll be back in the black.

Glad I could help. If you need anymore computer help, just ask.

Solid workout DOMS, right on with those calf raises.

Thanks, StanUk!

When doing Ab Roll-outs I use my adjustable DBs. You get down on your knees, place the DBs on the floor and then roll them out until your stomach is almost to the ground, and then you roll back up. They'll tear the shit out of your midsection.

I've found that I need to carefully integrate my Krav Maga classes and my workouts. I feel that if I do too much that it affects both.

I go to Krav Monday morning, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, Thursday night, and Saturday morning. I simply cannot do weight training before I go to a Krav class.

So I think I'll do the following:

Monday AM: Krav
Monday PM: weights

Tuesday AM: off
Tuesday PM: Krav

Wednesday AM: Krav
Wednesday PM: weights

Thursday AM: off
Thursday PM: Krav

Friday AM: weights
Friday PM: off

Saturday AM: Krav
Saturday PM: off

Sunday AM: off
Sunday PM: weights

I'll start going to Krav Friday Night Fight Night in a couple of months, but I think I'll still do weights in the morning.

Oh, and I was also very bad. I made a home-made chocolate mousse from 7 oz of 62% cocoa, 6 eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

But it tasted oh so good.

Nice program DOMS, that should cut you up quicker than a Thai dockworker.

A lot of cardio with the krav, and weights to boot, back onto the 2 workouts a day (sort of). I knew your routine looked too normal for you....
