I’m currently beavering away preparing Informed Performance for the grand opening, which we project will be done 100% by the end of July. So my days are mostly spent painting, waiting on deliveries, organising work and answering the many enquiries we’ve had so far. Also, while this has been going on, I’ve been teaching classes … Continue reading
If you’re reading this, you’re probably interested in some way in your fitness, a massive part of which is your diet. Now the pendulum has swung, correctly in my opinion, towards high protein, low carb diets of the type advocated by Atkins et al. Pretty much every nutritionist of note advocates either a zero carb … Continue reading
It seems like we’ve been talking about it for so long that it would never actually happen, but I got some keys last week and we packed up KO Martial Arts, put the name in the attic and moved everything to Informed Performance Gym. For those of you interested we’re now atUnit 5, Tolka Business … Continue reading
I know this blog is usually about my opinion on training, the weather, the latest fashions in footwear and so forth, but I thought a bit of straight reportage was in order for our fights last night. The show was the first in Rush, Paul Cowzer the coach out there was decent to us in … Continue reading
That being said, I just want to say good luck to Grant, Glen and Amanda this coming Saturday night. Amanda weighed in this morning at 56.1kgs and is in great shape absolutely ripped. You don’t see many women walking around with visible abs so it’s a testament to her hard work, dedication and iron will. … Continue reading
. There’s something pathetic about being immensely proud of a very average lift, but there’s some context to go along with this: http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAJRKzAPfu3a7ks9WIkYJqTFpibuOxRFpxdEwhGen46bhM_QbBQkzAh28mCvpcQ-nLX7h1jtZwgf3UpY5vpzgtW_Vb7r3ASlG3ANA5IJJeq1ygNWw-hIjb5j0e7hfnBW6zkSpeaRnSf5oVnEjPAw-Z765bo8-WQkK9sj3z_Gp9gLGfzMzbyvC-muQetxEb_XK1u18IHxpVE0yBVCEqUVf1ZfmmzpWTEJggpkzOWvPqsVP%26sigh%3DNa37zvBo3nGWDa8YXWZXZrhsksA%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D156e9cbae71eee85%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DoaYpCoL3fPkweLts2SeCgDiHR5A&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den So that’s me benching a whole 90kgs. Check out my feet at the lockout, very funny. Basically this time about 9 months ago I was all blown out, feeling like maybe the … Continue reading
Not that I’ll be crying into my cornflakes, but this week is the last week of classes in KO Martial Arts. It’s been two years since we moved into these premises and at the time they represented such a huge change from the old hall we were renting. In a few weeks time we’ll probably … Continue reading
It’s a long time since I’ve thought about this, but a few things have been put to me over the past few weeks that have made me consider the phenomenon of belts and such in martial arts, and indeed the whole concept of external validation in coaching. This whole concept is a silly mess, and … Continue reading
More on Operation Abs at the end of this post. There’s a good discussion on weightlifting technique going on here. Some really good coaches read Will’s blog so there’s always some nuggets of info in the comments. I haven’t even attempted an Olympic lift for about 8 months except for some technical work at a … Continue reading
… because in two weeks time I won’t have a second to spare. There’s a saying that goes something along the lines of if you want something done now, give it to a busy person. Well, if you know me personally, don’t follow that advice by giving me anything extra to do in the coming … Continue reading
