Knuckleheader's Workout Journal

[knuckleheader]

This is not an everyday accounting. Just enough to put the fear of guilt,
for not keeping a steady routine.
Done all weight lifting for the week. Completed two boxing classes. Hit the pads on Fri., felt good. Shoulder and knee have no negative effects. Going to hit makiwara after this submission, have been delinquint:( Next boxing class Tues. morn.

[FredInChina]

Hey that's great, welcome to the loggin'club...
Osu!

[Hangtime]

Nice to see Knuckleheader.

The journal will indeed keep you as consistent as you *can* be; it certainly helps me and makes me feel a little ashamed when I see long periods between posts.

OSU!

Osu! Looking forward to following your progress Knuckleheader, and possibly stealing some of your training ideas if the opportunity arises :)

Thank you Sandman. The best idea for training you won't have to steal is this. All of you "youngsters", do the hard work now!
Before father time gets a grip and slows you down....:D

[DharmaDesigns]

Welcome to the madness, knuckleheader! I will be checking on your progress....I'll be looking for a push up count from you soon. ;)OSU-EN2

[meguro]

Cool! Another source of inspiration!

[knuckleheader]

Did another boxing class this morning. Various conditioning drills and bag work
also punching combinations w/shadow boxing.
In the ring. One person holds 25 lb. medicine ball. Other punches ball for 3 min. w/16 oz. gloves. All in all, good lung work. I'm hoping to add road work when I feel my knee will handle it. For now, all body parts are holding up.

Tomorrow, weight training.

[FredInChina]

(...)For now, all body parts are holding up. (...)
ROFL... When did we start worrying about that? :D
Great work knuckleheader!

Punching a med ball? I like it!

I started this boxing unexpectedly. As long as my knee holds, I'll know when
to resume kyokushin training.

[knuckleheader]

Made it through another training session. Gotta admit it, I like hitting the bags and pads. It's the only aerobic work I can do fer now. I need a lung transplant:D

Also knocked off weight lifting this morning. See, unemployment can be beneficial.

[knuckleheader]

Did weight lifting on Sunday. Monday rest. Today, Tuesday completed
another boxing class. Another week, if my knee is still good. Will try a
kyokushin class. Been off an on since August :(

Tomorrow, weights again.

[FredInChina]

(...) I need a lung transplant:D(...)
Great, while I am shopping for Sandman and myself, I'll have a look for you too :D
Easy with the knee :)
Osu!

[knuckleheader]

Skipped weights yesterday, body needed extra day for recovery.
Did boxing class today. Can't wait for the lungs to improve. One of the women will join our group next Tuesday, too do pilates with us. Will add a new element to our training.
Weight lifting tomorrow. I will fess up if I don't.

[knuckleheader]

Fri., did weight training. Rest till Mon. Makiwara snow bound, have to rely on bag work.
Sat. night, Boxing has Club tournament. There are 22 schedualed bouts.
Whole lot a punching going on. Taking my two sons (girlfriend,tentative) to support our fighters and the event.
Will post videos, coach will probably have a few.

[Godai]

Makiwara snow bound, have to rely on bag work.


That must be some pretty high snow!! :eek:

[FredInChina]

Good work on Fri & Sat!
Enjoy the snow and the rest day at the tourney with your sons. :)
How about the knee?
Osu!

[knuckleheader]

That must be some pretty high snow!! :eek:

High Snow and LOW temperature.

You know, I was thinkin bout goin back there with the camera. Let you all Think, I was going "die hard":D

Besides. I have still have all winter to do it once or twice for fun

[Godai]

hey...you're only 45 minutes north of me and I have about an inch in some spots. I know you get more snow up there but how much in total did you get? 6 or 7 inches over two snow falls? Doesn't the postal service require that you clear your mailbox? Mine does. You need less clearing for you to stand in front of the makiwara.....grab a shovel and drop the excuses brother!!! :D

Osu-EN1

[knuckleheader]

After a well rested weekend, weight lifting is done.
Look forward to boxing class tomorrow...:)

[FredInChina]

Hummm doesn't it feel good to have that off the table to enjoy the day! :)
Well done!

Yes Sir. Being unemployed allows me to train now, without the hassel
of being "employed":eek:

Maybe later I'll visit the makiwara. Just to answer Godai's taunts.

Gee, I thought a picture of bare foot in the snow would suffice.....:confused:

[knuckleheader]

Did boxing class today. Kinda informal, I did try to push my lungs on our
mostly bag work.
Left shoulder said to back off. So I did try to limit the amount of power towards the end.

[FredInChina]

Wassup with the shoulder Knuckleheader?
Hope it is not too bad. :)
osu!

[knuckleheader]

Good work on Fri & Sat!

Nothing serious. Just too much work in one class, lifted weights yesterday.
Just have to build up it's strength, not too quick.
I'll be good for Thursday.

[FredInChina]

(...)not too quick.
I'll be good for Thursday.
Great news...
Patience is one tough "muscle" to exercise!
Osu! :)

[knuckleheader]

Alright. Did boxing today, felt good. Can't wait to really feal the benefits
in a month or so.

[knuckleheader]

Did weights on Sunday, boxing Tuesday.

No boxing till next thursday. Oh well.

__________________________________________________

Fell off the weightlifting routine. Had too many guest in for the Holidays.

Oh well, might just start boxing 3 days a week and add running.

Ous Fred, I too missed "the joint", and youzz guyzz. My Girlfriend finally brought back Her PC from a vacation in Puerto Rico.

I'll be be here more regular.

Oh. For the record. I've been boxing three times a week now. No sparing yet.
Don't know when I'll do some Kyokushin practice.

BTW Fred. Did you ever post up some pictures of You and Your family
in France during the Holiday?

[FredInChina]

BTW Fred. Did you ever post up some pictures of You and Your family

Great to have you back! :)

There are a couple of pics of me doing exercise on the balcony on my facebook account (look up FredInChina).
Unfortunately, I can hardly access facebook from behind the Great FireWall of China, let alone upload any file of significant size, so I don't know when I can post more "family pics".

I might post a few in my workout log though.

Osu!

[knuckleheader]

Boxed on 2/9, Tues. Right shoulder is sore from hitting heavybags too hard the week prior. Didn't train Thursday, waiting for plumber:mad:

So I go Friday morning 10:a.m.. Note on doors says gym open 3 p..m...:(

Shoulder still sore, so I'll rest till Tuesday morning. Rather let shoulder rest, my age it won't make or break me.

[knuckleheader]

Alright. Trained three days last week. Finally!

Boxed today. Hopefully, this will be a full(3 days) week of training.


Fingers are crossed....:D

Fred's in luck! We had a great phone call, and he's coming to visit. I would never take advantage of that... :cool: ;)

No need to insinuate. It's true. :(

Changed up my diet, eating schedule, training regime, and still gained weight for the second month in a row. Starting to get angry about it... :mad:

Osu!

[knuckleheader]

Yes. You don't notice it wearing the gloves.....:o

[Godai]

Wrong thread for this question

[knuckleheader]

Well, due to the weather. Only had two days of training. Can't wait for the Spring like conditions to arrive.

Riding my motorcycle :) to and from training will be the iceing on zee cake..

[knuckleheader]

Well darn it. Will be flying down to Florida 2:30 p.m. today. I'll bring my training pants and sneakers. Hopefully, riding my girlfriends(Alida) brothers's
bike will be good for my arms:D

Hope the snow is melted, we'll be there 1 or 2 weeks.:D
I'll be in touch.

Have fun and be safe big guy!

Have the best time!! Get some beach training in, but wear your sunglasses. That Florida sun creates mirages on the beach that are very distracting.:cool:

[FredInChina]

Osu Knuckleheader, don't miss us too much! :D

[FIXXORO]

Its very hard waking up in the morning before goin to work......what i do i just wake with my pyjamas on go straight to the door and do squats atleast 500, push ups 200, 300 situps and then do some stretching........when i come back late from work, i can start training my karate.........how is that to start a day?

[GJEC]

You'd be better off with a cup of tea.

Gary

[FredInChina]

(...)...how is that to start a day?
Sounds awful! :(
First thing is a cup of tea for myself, then one for Mrs. InChina before she gets up! :)

Osu Fixxoro, do you agree with me there could be better threads to post your remarks & could appear like a random posts than a fellow member workout journal?

Osu!

[Godai]

There has been some recent research showing that heart attacks are more likely to happen upon waking. We should wake easy and slowly.

Not one of the two articles I read (and saw on the news) but here is some info.

http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1825044,00.html

[knuckleheader]

and sound. Had some turbulance. Pilot climbed too 36,000 feet, got us above pretty much everything you could get above:)


Have fun and be safe big guy!

Yes Sir.

Osu!

Safe travels, Knuckleheader! (Some good Dojo in Florida. Will you be training?)

Osu!

500

Yes there are. I didn't bring my gi, haven't tested my knee with a karate training session still. When sitting and cross my legs, my knee still lets me know there is some soreness. I probably will "test" it in a March session with Godai. Of course, I'll maintain some limits as it will be a test session.

Have the best time!! Get some beach training in, but wear your sunglasses. That Florida sun creates mirages on the beach that are very distracting.:cool:

Sun glasses will also disguise my oggleing those distractions.....

Osu Knuckleheader, don't miss us too much! :D

No sir, here I am at your service.

Haven't been to the beech to make pleasant judgings..:D Went to the Daytona speedway. Picked up a few T-shirts for my sons. Got an autograph
message from Eddie Trotta of Thunder Cycles. He's ben featured on the Biker Buildoff series that ran coupla years back.

Been riding my Girlfriend(Alida)/brother's bike. He's very gracious, letting us drive or ride any and all his vehicles.

I'll probably be coming home a lil before Alida this week. Haven't done any training. My weight is now 205,:eek:
Gotta get back to sweating this oldies arce off:D

[knuckleheader]

went to Boxing class this morning. Got my hours worth of training.
Might go tommorrow, we'll see. At my age, have to not over do it.
Felt good hitting the bags and gettin the lungs to expand.....:)

Sorry bout that Fred...Miami??? Don't know anythin bout Miami, I were In Orlando..

We actually avoided going to Miami.
Anyhoo, Had fun for the 14 days we were there. Just being in warm weather of Florida was terrific! Went to Daytona in a Jeep..:eek:
I've been to Sturgis(oldest biker gathering) and Daytona. Both Bike events
without a Motorcycle:( One of these days, going to show up dressed proper. Picked up a few T-shirt sovenirs for my sons.
We went to her sisters house last weekend for a nice lunch. Rode the brother inlaws bikes round the block a few times. This past Sunday, we celebrated her sister inlaws birthday. We all enjoyed an all you can eat Chinese buffet...:D
Man, am I gettin a gut.
I finished the book purchased on Sunday, flying home yesterday.
Not very eventful, soaking up the warm climate was the goal. When we got home yesterday, it was 62 degrees. The snow is almost all gone. Was able to ride my own scooter first time in months.

[knuckleheader]

This my 2nd practice since returning from a two week "vaction". Worked conditioning and bags for an hour and a half. A half hour longer than the usual.
My lungs were feeling the missed training. I sure hope to shed some of my 205
(+/-) lbs. Hopefully carrying less weight will allow me to have better stamina,
power etc. Gotta admit it. I really enjoy this boxing. My knee still has some slight discomfort. I wonder when my first kyokushin practice will occur.
I think continued traing in karate or boxing, will define me.:D
Osu-EN1

[knuckleheader]

Had almost a full hour of training today. Tried pushing myself, forcing the lungs too work harder. Felt good. Snow has melted on back deck. Will be adding the makiwara to my modest efforts.

[knuckleheader]

Trained again Thurs. and Sat.
Sat, warm-up/ shadow boxed with heavier hand weights.
Went thru 6 drill (burpees,plank, squats,step etc.) stations, taxing my stamina a lil more.
Then worked the bags, with mustard on the punching. This had to be about the hardest I've pushed myself. Lasted an hour and a half. Just have to keep this pace, steadly increaseing the intensity. Desired results should occur:)

P.S. Sparred lightly, a few minutes with two of my sons today. Had fun...:D

[MilkManX]

Nice. Sounds like a good time.

Thank you. I actually have had to back off my jumping movements.
After making good progress in pushing myself, my right outside thigh has balked w/pain. Took it easy yesterday(Sat, skipped stations) also. I'll see how my leg responds Tue. training.

Going to pick up my youngest son Michael. This will be the 2nd weekend
of training together. He has a good work ethic and takes advantage of the
time in the gym.

Will be doing pretty much the same as mentioned in post#96.

I'm too old to waist my time, so the sweat will be on the floor. Been putting out 3 days a week without interuption since March. I can't recall missing any. If I had, I would mention my dissappointment.

Got to go, have a nice day you all.Osu-EN1

Hope you have a great session with your son, Knuckleheader.

Been keeping my 3 day a week schedual. Thursday's training was just over an hour. It was a hot humid day and I showed up feeling unenthusiastic.

Yesterday, took my son along for his Saturday class. We trained for almost an hour and a half. I pushed myself with good intensity on stations
that included burpees, squats, planks etc.
We did four rounds on the heavybags. I had great effort on these drillls
of 4 min. 4 rounds w/one min. rest with the assorted punching combinations.

Just for fun. Since my shoulders have been feeling stronger, I approached
the weight bench. Using an Olympic bar w/2 ten pound plates. I just did
a few half reps. As long as my shoulders continue to feel O K, I'll try and resume a simple weight program in addition to boxing.

All in all, I'm satisfied with my conditioning.

[knuckleheader]

I haven't posted here much lately, this is an update. My boxing gym closed sept.19th. We were suppose to have "a new" place. The coach said the deal fell thru and I'm waiting to hear of our "new location".

Other than that, I've been doing a weight lifting routine at home. Everyday I feel the stamina and conditioning gained over the last year leaving me.

Hopefully, there will actually be a new gym in the future.

That will keep your conditioning up.

Sorry to hear about your training.

Thats a great idea! Sometimes I have to remind myself to do crunches:eek:

[MilkManX]

I would also say if you don't have one already to get a heavy bag at home.

Nothing more fun for conditioning than that.

Back Off!
#@*&%$#*&%#@

LOL!!

Sorry to hear about your gym knuckleheader - hope something gets resolved soon!

Osu!

You're welcome to come out here, Knuckleheader. Bit of a commute, but it beats not training!

Osu!

[knuckleheader]

Just want to report my resumption of kyokushin training these last few weeks. Getting the legs stretched out and the body(shoulders) use to the rigors of practice.

End of class light sparring; Sensei Robert's lead leg side kick, knocked me down sliding towards the piano. Fortunately, my head failed to make contact with
said piano:eek:

Feels good......

:D Great visual there Knuckleheader - good to hear about the training :)

[knuckleheader]

:eek:

Osu!

Actually, it's a pretty large 20 wide by 30 some odd feet long dance room.

Mirrors on the side of a long wall, with a decent linoleum floor. Easily cleaned, if you know what I mean;)

The piano sits in a corner, they do acting, dance and other exercise classes.

We aren't able to hang a heavy bag or other various equipment:(

[FredInChina]

Thank you KnuckleHeader, this sounds like a nice set up.
What happened with your boxing Gym in the end? :)

Osu!

[Dent]

Osu!

Good to hear that you've found another spot, Knuckleheader. I'm with Fred. Did the Boxing fella skip town?

He might as well have skipped for all it matters. I was very happy with my improved conditioning.

I spoke to Brian(coach) the other day. He's going to build or acquire a building. As he put it, going big. This way, he'll also own some real-estate.
This is suppose to happen bout two months or maybe lil bit longer.

There is another boxing gym nearby. If I can afford it, might add it to
the kyokushin training. The catch is money. New place is 15$'s more per month. I'll be losing $100 per month extra stimulus money. Would have been no problem if the stimulus money didn't end. Oh well, ain't going to cry.
Just having fun getting my gi sweaty again.

Well, I've just had my first day of training @ the boxing gym. Will only be able to train Saturdays.

Had a lot mof fun doing the drills an breaking a sweat.

I'll let you know how sore I'll be in a couple of days. At my age, I know the body will revolt from the surprise of effort:)

Hey, I actually backed off during the workout. BUT, still gonna be pleasantly sore.

Now I'll just have to incorporate a kyokushin practice twice a month.

[knuckleheader]

Hey You all, been off the forum. No PC. So I bought my girlfriend a new Samsung last Saturday. Will be checking in on the weekends.

Tomorrrow will be my 3rd practice boxing. Gotta get back too it....:D

Hope all is well with everybody. Hope to do some catching up.

Hey, welcome back buddy! Don't be such a stranger.

Osu Meguro, haven't had regular access to a PC. I have been training boxing and weights on Saturdays. Just a lil dumbell work or physical labor with my job.

I miss this forum and all of you nice people. Hope to be in NYC June 18th. for the tourney as a spectator:D

[knuckleheader]

Been training every Saturday. Added some weight training too. Today we(coach), didn't push us hard enough for my likeing. Next week I will mention this before we start.

I like my progress. Man, I wish I could train 3 days a week. Those of you who could but don't, ought to train if you have the time. DON'T BE LAZY! Osu!

[FredInChina]

Osu,


Good to see you are making the best out of the time you have available KH, and thank you for the nudge and encouragement to others. :)
