Congrats again.

Cheers

For the next level I'll be learning 2 open hand mantis sets, a spear set and my instructor is thinking about adding a fatal flute set. COOL!

Zhang San Feng is the legendary founder of taiji. We throw a demo and a party every year for his birthday. Usually in early April.

JM - I don't know much about the fatal flute form. My instructor was just talking about how he may include it for this next level. I've never even seen before. The only thing I can find on it on the web is this book: LINK

red - This one time at band camp, I took my fatal flute and I .....

np - The fetival sounds pretty cool. You'll have to send me the details.

Monday 03/14/2005
Today I went through all my forms and tried to focus on very deliberate movements. I then did squats. 6x135 - 6x185 - 6x185. I then did a series of static stretches for my quads and hamstrings. I'm very close to full front squats. (edit: this should say splits)

Friday was my anniversary my wife and I went out of town so I didn't workout. Saturday was an awesome day. I did some staff work in the back yard and then did a clubbell workout. Sunday, I did a puch up pyramid from 1 to 10 to 1 and then some stretching.

Tomorrow I'll probably run and then go to kung fu class.

I ordered Thomas Kurz's "Secrets of Stretching" DVD this weekend and will start doing his workout a few days a week. The goal is full side splits on chairs.

Ran 3.85 miles at lunch on a new running route. Next time I'll stretch it to an even 4 miles. I am very sore from doing squats yesterday and still sore from my push up pyramid on the weekend. I've been focusing a lot on forms lately and not lifting as much and I can tell. Anyway, just took it easy on the run and stretched a bit after.

Tonight I have kung fu class if I'm not too sore.

40's? lucky ******* ... it's still in the low 30's and forecasted to stay that way here. What's worse is that the local sports store wouldn't accept my check so I wasn't able to get the treadmill that was on sale...

**red5angel** · 03-15-2005, 03:50 PM

well that's because you're way up north!

We're looking at 40's towards the end ofthe week which usually means it should hit you guys by the weekend.
I'm sick of using my nordic track, all that work and I don't get to go anywhere! LOL

**Reggie1** · 03-15-2005, 04:07 PM

And I thought the weather was bad here because it's 65 and rainy.

I love Texas.

**red5angel** · 03-15-2005, 04:13 PM

fukk off

**Reggie1** · 03-15-2005, 04:14 PM

I won't tell you what the weather was like last weekend. Or the forecast for this weekend.
