Move Jutsu

Out of the two atheletes below who is the fittest? Who is the most capable?
It’s not an easy or obvious answer. It all depends on what you’re training for. That’s why a one-size-fits-all training programme doesn’t exist.
The guy on the left is a marathn runner and could beat the guy on the right no questions [...]

It’s getting harder and harder to keep this blog updated.  Not only have I started back at work (which is a HUGE time sink) but I’ve also taken up Ashtanga Yoga in a big way and now learning Spanish.  I’ve yet to have any formal training in the yoga but I follow Dave Swensons DVD [...]

Today wasn’t a good day. Bad news happened and it hit me hard. I just couldn’t do anything other than a few pull ups.
No ju jutsu either.

After getting Ross Enamaits books a few weeks back I decided to take up his 50 day workout as a starter to improving my overall strength, conditioning and health (more info on why I did this is on the about page).
Well now to my review of how those 50 days have gone.  What I’ve learned, [...]

I switched my strength and rest days this week as I slowly recovered from a week of poor sleep and new exercises.
But I hit todays strength goals with extreme vigour and my morning routine was upgraded with a mini circuit of pull ups, chin ups and push ups.

I’m going to start putting the plans [...]

B vitamins are about the least understood group of vitamins the body needs.  A lot of people don’t realise there’s 8 B vitamins in total and each one is absolutely crucial to a healthy body and mind.  What’s even scarier is the number of people deficient in many of these.  For example in one study [...]

I’ve decided to start doing these two major exercises every day in an attempt to experiment with greasing the groove.  I want to improve my strength and endurance in my arms, back and shoulders.
My current records:

Chin Ups: 2 + 1/2
Pull Ups: 1
Push Ups: 30

I’m hoping to get those up to 10, 5 and 50 in [...]

I first came across this term a few weeks ago but never really took any notice.  But since getting more involved in the fitness and combat sports community its kept coming up more and more.  So I thought the only choice is to at least educate myself as to what it is.
So what the hell [...]

As I’ve been reading more and more of Ross’ books (there’s 3 – its taking a while!) and learning form experience I feel I can evolve the programme into something more fitting for me.
So after I’ve had the active rest split I’ll be tweaking it to follow this schedule:

Core, Neck, Forearms
Biceps
