So where we at

well well well, I have just been so mega mega busy that I haven't blogged here for ages. I do have minor reasons for not being so active on the MSC blog and that is this www.buyXsocks.com which is my new online shop which just sells socks, one brand of socks to be precise and that brand is X-Socks.

So where am I at with training and stretching?

Well, I will admit to not doing too much stretching recently there have been no excuses. I mean I have been stretching but just not sticking to a set plan and as a consequence I haven't seen the results I was seeing earlier.

However I have still been training my body and still going to TKD. So for physical condition I am doing the Gravity Advantage programme by Paul Zaichik at the moment, and will continue to do that for a few months. It's not really a programme in the sense that he tells you exactly what do in terms of reps and sets and on which days, you have to decide that for yourself and it was only after doing some research and asking PZ for help on his forums that I have settled on a plan. I upgraded myself from The Fundamentals on GA to Level 1 on GA - so last nights workout consisted of this (and it was really really hard):

• 8 x Wide Grip Horizontal Rows straight in to 8 x Narrow Grips - rest then repeat once more
  
• 8 x Weaving Pushups (oh man, how hard are these!) straight in to 8 x Dive Bomber Pushups (mental hard) - rest then repeat once more
  
• 8 x Bridge and Curls straight in to 8 x Hammer Presses - rest then repeat once more
  
• Side Planks then one leg dead lifts then knee ups on pull up bar
  

Hard as hell for me was the pushups and I am really quite strong on pushups, but various forms of the standard one. These new ones are totally hard and 8 reps was a real struggle, in fact in my second set for the dive bombers I went on to my knees at rep 6

So, 'its all good', and tonight I'll probably have a good light stretch.
