Speaking of Neck Exercises

feeds@yuku.com (Combat Student) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:27:10 GMT

What neck exercises are beneficial & which are not? Which are downright too dangerous ie: the risk is much higher than the potential benefits.
My picks for beneficial Neck stuff are:
Neck Lift (loop a wide strap over crown of head towards back attach to weight & squat up & down while holding head stationary.)
Neck...

I'm sure most martial arts teachers can appreciate this & I know that street defense instructors can.

Jump Rope

feeds@yuku.com (Combat Student) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:26:14 GMT

This morning pre-workout I counted every rep of my 7 year old son doing jump rope. He stopped (not missed) @ 500 reps. These were two feet single bounce jumps done non-stop. The most I've ever done is a solid 3 minutes in which I only got 416 reps. Of course my 10 yr old says he did 420 reps

Goals, Standards & Maintenance

feeds@yuku.com (Combat Student) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:14:01 GMT

I've been thinking of certain goals & standards I have. Last year I met the goal of performing a Ring Muscle-Up & have since been able to do 13 reps in a row & a fairly easy 5 reps with an extra 10lbs. A few years ago I wanted to be able to perform a TRUE 1-arm chin/pull-up & never put in the required time or effort. I have achieved the goal of being able to hold a straddle lever & perform pull-ups while in it & am still striving to AT LEAST be able to hold a...

I watch this video before I work out to get pumped up.

The best ab exercise?

feeds@yuku.com (thegreatmcgonigal) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:06:46 GMT

The good old fashioned situp with one slight modification.

Lie on back, legs straight, feet not held down. Place hands anyplace you want except clasped behind head as this position might hurt the neck by forcing the head forward. The higher up the hands are the harder. Forget about reps. just sit up as slowly as possible.

What did that guy do, go down from ~ 460 to 160? Let's see, at "5-7 pounds a week", say 6, 300 divided by 6 = 50 weeks = one year.

Here's a challenge for you, Jim!

I'm messing about with this device again. I'll probabably hurt my back again too. What's the secret of not hurting your back with the power wheel/toning wheel? Not arching the back?

Latest Workout Plan

feeds@yuku.com (Combat Student) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:25:06 GMT

Here is my latest workout, though I only tend to stay on a new routine that alternates workouts until I've only done three of each who knows with this one? Some things like my lever & planche work I am forcing myself to keep.

Straddle Lever Pull-Up x 10

Lateral Movement x 50yards each direction

Opinion needed

feeds@yuku.com (Combat Student) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:52:06 GMT

On my next routine starting in about a week I am going to do Rope Pull-Ups after my Olympic combo. I was wondering which would be better for grip (especially grabbing a gi in jiujitsu) using my 3/4" rope or my 1 1/2" rope? Or I could even dig out my 2" rope. Maybe I could alternate each set? I'll be starting with 5 rounds of combo then rope pull-up.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
