Sounds like the workouts my Dad would put me through. Maybe that is why going to the gym seems empty.

Hard to explain last night's workout but it involved a lot of painful joint locks being applied to & by my training partner.
Sort of an exercise in efficiency & not bypassing opportunities rather than attempting to apply a favourite technique.

I have a 2 hour private lesson to look forward to today where my student is half my age but twice as strong & I'm sure he will be keen to repeat last nights' stuff.
I won't lose much weight or get real strong but I will feel like Gumby afterwards.

Oh my goodness Ed, you to to enrol in Carl's School of Beer.

On a serious note, today was a rest day. Two coffees from hand ground beans, an avocado, and two 125 gram cans of sardines in tomato sauce is all I've had as at 19:45. Oh. Plus four German beers and five cigarettes. Tea is chicken patties and a rocket and avocado and chili salad.

Sometimes the contrast between my 'healthy' attitude and my 'vices' astonishes even myself; it's a Ying Yang thing...

Not TWICE! In one day! You'll over train. Remember, "If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down..."
