Nerdy combat was very interesting, very good for the inexperienced guys to learn how to get hit.

As far as drawing styles, that was a great activity to break up the occasional boredom that comes with training.

Tallgeese, enjoy the fishing trip, sounds like a blast.

7/11/2011 evening

TKD class: Basics, stretch, form, one-steps, sparring. The form came together a bit better this night, and I didn't lose my balance too much. The instructor told me I tend to "hang" after rechambering a kick, not getting the leg back to the ground very quickly. Will have to work on that. Sparring went ok, and I did kick a guy around 6' tall in the head three times.

I've also worked with my 5 year old intermittenly on some TKD stuff, but not so much on things like stances, forms, and techniques, but more along the lines of getting off-line from an attack, working an angle to get to the back, attacking, and then moving away. When his attention span permits...

7/13/2011

SL 5x5A

Squats: warmup: 45x5x2, 135x5, 205x3, 225x2; work: 270x5,5,5,5,4 (almost got it)

Bench press: warmup: 45x5x2, 135x5, 155x3, 175x2; work: 200x5x5

Barbell rows: warmup: 75x5x2, 95x3, 105x2; work: 140x5x5

Power clean: 115x5

Since I have stalled 3 times on the squat weight, its time to deload 10%, and then work my way back up from there. I felt stronger with the squats today, but the spotter I had seemed to be assisting just a bit, so I'm going with the deload.
