bw = 174
soreness = legs, calfs, hips, back, quads, forearms.. HEH!
aches/injuries = none, hand was good today!

i've been doing LOTS of stretching.. havn't been journaling it, but, i think now i will... i'll just put a headline of "stretching" to indicate that I stretched. It's really helping with tennis.. feeling REALLY loose, getting lots of pop on my shots without muscling anything.

Session:

tennis:
- 2 hours
- best hitting yet
- finally able to generate top spin on demand
- shots are becoming less flat, obviously with my new focus on top spin
- moving around was a bit uncomfortable but you wouldn't be able to notice it, if you were looking at me.. typical body wrecked but able to move fine.

there were several backhands I had to chase down and "dink back" because I had no leverage.. but, this is a reason I want to develop my left. I'm a natural lefty, so, I should be able to hit those shots with my left, if I need/want to. It's been a slight focus of mine to develop my left, but, I really need to focus MORE on it. It would be a significant weapon if I could turn a weak retreating/reaching backhand into a powerful forehand. I might run tonight, then go work on my left-only.

I should work on my left every night HEH!

will fill in more later.


Session:

lefty tennis
- 1 hour


Session: Stretching

Quit my gym today. I train during working hours which in the past has been great. No early mornings, no late nights. Perfect. Only thing now is I'm busier which is great for business but bad for gym life. So, getting new membership at a gym much closer to home. Good thing is they also allow oly lifting which my gym frowns upon and they have a pool/steam room as well. I'll be training at 5.30 in the am which will be great to get everything out of the way so early then I can concentrate on the rest of the day.

Also, looking at a new program too. I've figured out I simply cannot write my own programs as I tend to not follow them anyway. Looking at one that is a mix of oly lifting, normal lifts and upper body gymnastics stuff. Kind of like crossfit but more structured and without the crazy high rep metabolic stuff. If I look at all my goals and training I basically want to be strong, explosive and look like I'm strong and explosive whilst having some endurance to back it up. If a training system can get me here it's pretty much going to satisfy all my requirements for playing basketball, training hapkido or whatever else I want to do. Let's hope this is the way to go.

you find any program candidates?

Just signed up for a ride along next week so I can experience police work before i get too involved with the hiring process.  Even though an injury took me out of Corrections, the more I saw current CO's looking fat n gross and just sitting there twirling their thumbs all day the less I wanted to finish.  I have a feeling that if I get into police work, mentally I will keep telling myself I have to be in the best shape that I possibly can.

pretty cool.. just from the thought of it, police work sounds more fun than CO.
