5/18 Jumping jacks through the Contra soundtrack

Clinch work through the Castlevania soundtrack

Weights and abs through the final boss music from Final Fantasy 3 (Kefka was a great villain.)

Stretching

Armbar reps and armbar defense through Rappers Delight

15 minutes guard sweep or armbar vs pass or stand

4 rounds kickboxing

Same thing, but with a 30 min freeroll added.

Even with the same soundtrack, GroinStrike?

MasterPain: how did you get those soundtracks, praytell? I love the old Nintendo stuff...

TKD class: 6:00 - 6:45...smaller class today, really buzzed through basics, then light stretch, forms, one-steps, then two crappy rounds of sparring. I was so dead tired when it came time to spar, and I really just couldn't do much. I have to get something going in that department.

Then lifted after class...

SL 5x5A

Squats: warmup weight: 45x5x2, 70x3, 90x2; work weight: 165x5x5

Bench press: warmup weight: 45x5x2, 95x3, 115x2; work weight: 140x5x5

Barbell rows: warmup weight: 65x4, 2; work weight: 80x5x5

Squats are getting tougher, but I can still finish the sets. Hip flexors are sore, too. I like the new bench press technique, and I love the barbell rows, too. Really enjoying this StrongLifts system so far.

Evening stretch: squat to stands, seated straddle stretch reaching middle, left and right, butterfly and glutes, hip flexors. My left side is noticibly tighter than my right side.

Youtube mp3 converter. Brother in law is smarter than me.

Check out a band called Vomitron.

Here you go. Also on youtube is a band called Powerglove who do great game music covers. If you're into Final Fantasy, check out the Black Mages. They do orchestrated covers of the old Uematsu stuff.

I don't know where the extra time is, maybe I missed some of mine.
