Incorporating diversity in this thing!


You have to have a good sense of humor about your training. I love the focus and intensity of my drills- especially the hardcore singularity of purpose that I feel when I'm training. No distractions or pressure from career or anything else.

But I also love to have fun with the whole thing.

My buddy Tom came over today and we went through some fundamental Hop Gar drills before getting serious about conditioning. After 100 reps with a 16KG KB, it was time for some round robin drills involving clean and presses, roman chair straight-up KB presses and olympic bar pickups. This transitioned into medicine ball/roman chair throw & sit-up reps. Then we just threw the damn thing at each other as hard as we could. Overhand, right and left handed until I was just done. Fun, useful and a good reminder to get creative with the the work that's flexible.
