Injuries...

...they suck! I broke my middle toe on my left foot, while training Judo last Sat. I can still do certian bodyweight & kettlebell exercies, which is a plus. I just can't put any weight on the front of my foot. I'll just be hobbling around for the next month.
Oh well...

*Rest was mostly :20 to :30, but some were :30 to :60. This was my first day back home, and I didn't get to workout at work, so I didn't feel like going for time; I just wanted to get some volume done, without it being too brutal.

*Great workout! Everything felt real good, physically & mentally.


Will do some wrestling tonight.

Product Recomendation


At the recent Maxbells Bodyweight Trainers Cert., we were introduced to some neat products that Steve & John use in their workouts. One is a push-up board http://www.pushupboard.com/. If your wrists get irritated from doing push ups on the floor, you'll love this board. Also, the quality is truely 'professional grade'. They are very versitle, and a worthy addition to anyones gym.

The other was the new PS Straps, designed by Steve Maxwell ( http://1gsystems.com/ ) (Same idea as the TRX, Jungle Gym etc.). Although, I have never personally used the TRX, I can't imagine it being worth the $180 price, just my opinion. A few months prior, I had purchased a set of Jungle Gym straps from Lifeline, and was very pleased with them, both in terms of price, being user friendly, and high quality. Having used the Jungle Gym, I would not hesitate to recommend the PS Straps to anyone. They are high quality, and when you consider the price, you really can't beat them!

Check them out, I'm sure you will be impressed.
