My ramblings, the endless journey

Wow! What a night..err morning you had. To bad for your sound guys car. Funny the girl thinks she's fired. This singer will be one of those " do you remember **** I wonder what are they doing now" people. I looked at your Job website. They have a ton of stuff going on there. To cool. Get some rest, you don't work the weekends do you?

@ wetdawg, had a 10 hour Saturday... I work when ever... I unfortunately have one of those jobs where I am the only one on staff who can do x (actually it's more like x¹⁰), and in reality the online calender you saw only has about 1/4 of the things actually happening here.

Sunday pull 60 sec rest
Chin ups 4, 2, 2,these have to go I will sub in something else, 
Deadlift 177lbs 2 X 10, 1 x 9 (what the ****!)

Monday

Weapons and forms...

Worked on the stick.

HAd a great form spar partner, Carlos, He is a really weird guy.. I have to get passed his personality, which is off putting, because he is a great teacher. We ddi a lot of Dragon applications, and I did well with them... Phan said my kicking is getting better... I suck at switching feet though...

Carlos to me I hit too hard... I am working on it... with him it's fine, and he hits me back hard as well, but I sohould be careful with others... I really need to understand how hard i hit... He bruised me up good though... He showed me how to be forceful and controlled with out hittting "hard"... this is all such trickey business.

Yesterday Legs

Front squats 77 lbs 3 x 10
Split squats 25 lb db 3 x 10 (each leg)
SLDL 112 lbs 3 x 10
lunges alternating 25 lbs db 3 x 10 (each leg)
side planks 30 sec each side, 3

At least I increased everything yesterday, step-ups involve way to much space prep, so split squats instead, worked hard on full extension of my lunges, my butt hurst today, so I did something right.

 

OK, stick work.... It's coming along, dare I say nicely. I had a really, really good and solid practice with staff yesterday... even had a second of staff spar, and I responded appropriately... hey, who would have thunk it... no staff to the skull or anything. : )
Actually could concentrate on foot work, real precision and strike placement, tempo, and body movement.

Forms, general warm ups, and forms was just fine and dandy, although I was already a little sore from Staff work...  Got a couple snake-tigers in before we started as well, that is also moving along nicely...

Form spar.... OH DEAR GOD... I sparred with Big Mark... he is maybe 220, but 5'8"-5'10". I like sparring with him he is aggressive, and has very good control, but trying to apply a form on him, is like trying to apply a form on a mature tree... he just doesn't budge. When I can budge him or take him down, and I did... It is just as strenuous as if he is doing it too you...

So it was kick sequences, including the double jump kick (think Karate kid), and then ughhh ground fighting... but not wrestling or grappling, but punching and kicking on the ground, with them on the ground in snake stance, which is a lateral lunge (all the way down) , we did 6 punches, and shoulder blade take down revised.  The shoulder blade take down is something we do a lot of, but we are ending it differently right now. We did it both standing and then from snake stance (you just have no idea, I don't have that kind of agility or flexibility, YET). But, you break one arm, cross it in front grab the other punching arm, Twist, sweep a leg out drop them flat to the floor, switch your locking arm (for another break, or shoulder seperation), roll on top of them and elbow into the spine... Yeah, have Big Mark do that to you a couple times see how you feel the next day.... try doing that to Big MArk and see how you feel the next day...

I am sooooooooo sore.

So I don't know, I should go to class tonight it's free spar, but i honestly don't know if I am going to be up for it... and if I go to class tomorrow, I can hang with my dead buddy... (I don't have enough room to dead buddy, in my house, he wants me to roll on the ground, and I keep rolling into furniture, although in class he just plays with my arms.. ... yup-pers nut noodle). But Friday class will set me up with the proper lift class schedule that I ultimately would like to keep.  Maybe I go to free spar, and skip forms tonight and lift... it's upper push day, the only lift day I feel I could accomplish after getting beat up fpor 45 minutes... although it would still be a stretch...

Way too sore to spar (most from all the low stances..., best to get my schedule back the way I prefer anyway.

Another crap night of lifting
DB bench 2 x 10, 1x 7 @ 40 lb each (eveytime I do "chest" I lose reps off of somewhere. My pec were just not involved in the flat bench I have soem real form problems... ****ed up, I have been doing this a long time, to stilll have a form issue on a very basic exercise, and I am gtting weaker)
 DB incline DB bench 3x10 @ 30 each DB (got em all this time, pecs really involved)
 DB bench palms in 3 x 12, @ 25
OH press DB 3 x 10 @ 20 (barely), my shoulder is not happy with me... I have not been treating it right, and after all it's done form me.... for shame
 arnolds 3x10 @ 20
Tricep kickbacks 3 x 10 @ 20
 bicycles 3 x 30 each leg

I'm having a bad time....

I just made it to class on Friday... had to come back to work after, again til like 11, no dead buddy, and a really really ****ty class... I was 3rd most senior... ahh the curse of nice Friday afternoons. I had to call a lot, I should have called a ton more than I did... I just couldn't keep it together, I kept fumbling, screwing up, or just, going through the motions... I almost, burst into tears three times during class, almost left just as many times... my job... my stupid job... that f*cking retard ***** minister... oh he is going to get his though.... the rummbling of the natives.... the wise ones are feeling the same things I am....

I was called in on Saturday.... for an emergancy. and there went my weekend... I didn't lift Saturday... actually by the time I got back I shut down, and while I had ample time and oppurtunity, I did not lift on Sunday... I should have, but felt no regret for not... I had been running on 4 hours of sleep most of the week... I caught up on it... I feel good today. Feel focused, ready for deads, I will go to weapons, and go home and lift, BF gigs tonight, so he will be out of my hair, so it's good... almost back on track....

Weapons, well of course I have been practicing several things wrong... or half wrong... or "wrong for now".... learning things the "Traditional Chinese Way"... is well a giant pain in the ass.....6 different people tell you 6 different ways... but at least 3 of those ways are correct???? it's confusing, for my tiny little brain ; b


Sunday pull 60 sec rest
Deadlift 177lbs3x10
 1 arm bent over rows 45 lbs 3 x10
hang clean 77 x 10 (at least that got an increase)
reverse flys 3x10 @ 15
 alternating curls supinating (ya know what I mean), 20 lbs 3 x10
planks 1 minute x 3

should have put in a barbell row.. in addition to reverse flys.... think next week I play the super set game...

last night fu town, Phan was late AJ ran most of the warm ups... he put together some fun stuff... I do notice when Phan is not there that we tend to neglect the horse stance drills... I think I am going to start regularly inserting a few of the harder ones (though the ones I can pul off calling)... They are good for us... They are good for me... only the really "fitness" types in class regulary will insert them...

WE basically worked on kicking drills... the rest of class... my hips are on fire... by the end I couldn't thorw one more kick.. I think it has something to do with squatting I might pose the question in training... 

Hung with my dead guy... we had a good time, could feel the energy very, very strongly... but still really centered in my upper body... although I was quite grateful for that after our kick session.

Legs 60 sec rest straight sets

Front squats 82 lbs 3 x 10 (good that sucks!)
Split squats 30 lb db 3 x 10 (each leg)
 Romanians 112 lbs 3 x 10
lunges alternating 30 lbs db 3 x 10 (each leg)
side planks 30 sec each side, 3

Let's get ready to rumble!!!!!!!!! ouch

Good time at the free spar, had only 2 fights.

The over riding theme of both were... use your forms Hardway, use your forms..

Kyle... We had a total blast. He kept trying to monkey me... I dragon-ed. We both did a good job a fighting using our forms. Fairly even match. I gave considerable thought to how to approach each attack. Although after all the kick work of the past few weeks I kicked less then I usually do.  Managed a real and honest neck throw on him... proper form and all, and he went down... he ended up running at me a tackling me just after out of pure desperation, and ****z and giggles... seriously fun!

Fred... He is like what, 6'2", very fit, very strong (not big Mark strong, but sure as hell stronger than I) very lean, with an athletic build. Ok, so dragon goes out the window, that is a muscle form... a sneaky form too, but, very upright and aggressive in a way that just doesn't work on some one significantly taller, and stronger. So, I worked on using snake, a small people style... and you know what worked... palm stikes, seriously, I think that is the first time i have really implamented the softest of our soft stuff.... and IT REALLY WORKED! I could just swish him away, or even better tie his arms all up on himself, and then I could just throw 3 quick punches or slaps, and retreate. It was really cool... swish swish, slap slap slap.

So Rebecca was sitting on the sidelines with the boys during my Fred fight... She said... all the boys said, she repeated for emphasis it was ALL the boys... as they were watching, that I am really good at targeting... They said I would do it every time... I would wait, and as soon as there was a unblocked area for a body shot, I would just tag it... like every time... It was t the point where they were saying there she goes, and sure enought I would hit fred in the kidneys...   : ) so that's cool I am getting some respect, not that I felt I wasn't getting respect, it is just nice to hear nice stuff people say about you when you can't hear. And I was using my forms!   : )

Phan even came up to me after clas and said my sparring was better, much more confidant.

We did a lot of form work, and then some of the more basic form spars, and a few more complex ones, like monkey climb the tree... Worked with Kyle, he's fun.

Horribly sore today, fell asleep on the couch, on my stomach on top of pillows, my lower back is screaming, my hips hurt, my bicep got bruised somehow... I am all torn up. Literally someone scratched the **** out of my arm.. Kung fu is such a dirty fight form. When I woke up to go to bed (BF knows not to try to fight my falling out, so he just leaves me there), I only had like an hoiur and a half to sleep comfortably. Taht wasn't enough time to undo the damage I had done.

Nice work! I need to remember not to pi** you off. Looks like all that training is beginning to take off into a natural move for you. It's great when you get to a point where you do not think about it, it just happens.
 
Go to bed early tonight...Treat yourself!

Thanks guys.. I'm getting there... give me another 6 years... look out! .... starting to think more and more about tournaments.... but I'm OLD... but I wouldn't even have to spar persay... could just enter traditional Chinese forms....

Lets see where did I leave off...

Friday night, almost deserted class... I helped Phan's niece, who is 9 (7?) something like that... The little kids in his family, his 6 year old daughter was there as well... but Namie, is easily distracted. Well the niece was trying really hard, and she needed a buddy (her brother was also there, each on either side of Scott), but he is new (well old, but he had a bit of a  problem with the Heroin, so he is just recently back... (quite frankly I don't know how long he has been in recovery... but iti's not long enough... I wouldn't put money on him staying clean... not fo lack of trying... no disrespect meant... It's just that I have know my fair share of junkies... He is not putting off the right vibe... I think he might regress... hope not, he's a good guy)... point being, he had to concentrate on himself, not teach rug rats... SO I tiook the little girl... Did a mischief on me legs.... All my stances ended up being 1/3 lower so that she could see what I was doing, and very slow, and deliberate... It was as good for me as it was for her... She did a really really good job... it was cute, and I hate kids so that is saying something.

Form spar worked with Kata, (she's back after Maternity leave from Kung fu), finally got confirmation, she has a serious dance backgroud (knew it!), I used ot watch ehr stretch when I first started coming... god damn!... Our kick "intensive", continued, with feet for blocking... no hands just feet. hips oh my hips... and forearms... Kata can kick!

Spirit...I left to go home.... but had a sesion at home anyway... had a very  nice time with head buddy... still a lot of hand work.... alot of the same stuff we have been going over (really weird to write this in this way)... a lot of what worked on Fred... was what buddy was showing me, so I realized on Friday... I didn't have to force anything... actually felt rather confidant with everything.

---

Saturday, hung wit buddy again, several times through the course of the day... totaling an hour at least

Super sets 60 rest after pair
Everythign went down.... funny I think I don't push myself, and I am lifting a sub max... then either I fail, or change up the patteren and it reinforces... that really that is all I have goit in me... weird, or sad, or funny... more likely just is...

DB bench 3 x 10 @ 35 lb each DB
OH press DB 3 x 10 @ 15

arnolds 3x10 @ 15

Understood... but yeah but getting repeatedly punched in the head, is something more for the younger set... and I need at least another 2 years in before i could seriously think about it... will put me at 36, (really more like 3 .5 ) but in the senior (beginner) class.... gawd... that's depressing... hahaha but I haven't ruled it out ... haven't ruled it out by a long shot.

uneventful night at school, lot and lots of forms... I have go to work on those spin kicks more... mine are crap! got to work on my low stances more... also crap!

Form sparred with AJ, did a good job... we did stuff that's new for me... but what we did I actually got.... did hell freeze over??  : )

Did a fun Phoenix hand  series... that's mean.... ends with the defenders kick being caught... you twist and fall to the ground catch your upper body like a push up, while whipping your other leg around to kick your attacker in the face... that was FUUUUNNNN!

Hung with buddy, we are moving onto something new it seems... simalar stylings... different movements...wierdness, he will move me around but if I am in the incorrect position or if my hand posture isn't what he wants... he will stop and wait for me to figure out what I am supposed to be doing, and then he'll continue... he still seems disinterested in my feet and legs for the most part... I lower body needs help... but whatever he's the dead guy... what am I gonna do argue with him?

I gotta fu tonight last time this week... the next 4 nights... something like 7 seperate events... all my big problem.

Don't get me wrong... I am not gonna stop weightlifting...or my kung fu... until I croak, barring some unfortunate accident.

I'm glad your getting so into the power lifting Jane it's great to hear... I am glad it's become so inspiring to you!

Whether or not I want to take either of my two fitness activities to a competition level or not, is cloudy in my mind... (see I have never ruled out competing in power lifting, something else I have thought about moer than casually... requires the gym membership though and concerted effort that I am not willing to commit to at this point). But if I tornement, knowing myself, I would do both spar and form... I don't know how many shots I am really gonna feel like taking, at 40... but that is future talk, and the present is much more impotant to me, right now.

I worked in stick for 30 minutes... and then worked the long Dargon, with a few other people... yeah thats a mess... I hope to have it down before I go away so I can practice my new form on the beach, in quiet solitude.

SO I did myself a mischief... I really f'ed up my hip... yesterday in class. I have been over working the flexibilty issue i discussed in training... I don't know what happened 3 rd warm up (and I was already way warm..), I went into cross stance... and my hip flexor just screamed NO!!!!!!!!!!! I dialed in the rest of the warm ups and forms... man it was pathetic...  I couildn't really kick, with that leg nor could I stand on it, in any one footed pose, move or kick. cross stance get the **** out here... low stance.. ha...

I made it through to form spar, but badley, I could do the first 2 form spars but not any of the others I called it a day...

It's still being very difficult, I'm at about 50%...You know I checked in to see how long I have gone with out a break from weights... (I checked on saturday), I was pleased to see I was starting in on my 7th week... I was elated that I had broke my 6 week traing (old lady )_curse... I though yeay... THIS time I am gonna be like everybody else and make it to at least 8 weeks... I though it must be because I am off full body, and in a push pull legs split, for the first time in a long while... This must have helped my recovery.... WELL OBVIOUSLY, ABSOLUTELY NOT !!! So I have a really bad schedule for the next 4 days, I am supposed to do legs tonight... NO WAY, just no way.... SO, off week for me... I suck ; )

 

I want to talk to you. The way you write, I want to know if you talk like this in person.

Add me on facebook!

Yes, I post in a very stream of consciousness writing style... So I do believe this is how I talk, for the most part... I'll check, my best friend and her husband are keeping up with my ramblings, since they currently live in Egypt... I wanted them to read about the spirit class stuff... since hanging out with dead people is quite an unusual change of events for me. ROLF! So, when they come back to the country, and we visit, we can just talk about it with out a lot of filling in... SO hey JILL, do I talk like this? (email me.... : )  )

I am a vulgar cat, when it's acceptable... too much time with the boyos... But... probably not much more than what I write... You can take me to the opera, or a hardcore show, and I'll blend appripriately either way... and most things in between...

I am very sarcastic.

Philly has a number of horrible accents... Over the years I have made fun of them so much, I have managed (much to my dismay) to acquire an amalgamation of all of them... I think... I have some sort of accent... I fight it when I am aware it's coming out... I used to speak, fairly proper... like anchor woman English... but yeah don't make a lot of fun of accents, it's gotten me where I am today  ; (  To add to the puddle of fun that is my speech... my voice is very deep and husky... that Lauren Bacal (sp?) Sybil Shehpard, kinda tone... A choir director said my voice is almost counter tenor, if that means anything to you.

Just come to Philly, Ripped...I know your moving to Cali... (screw you Jane!), but I reiterate come to Philly, I 'll take you out for a night on the town, then you can find out for yourself!

Ha I would totally come to Philly no problem. I curse wayyyy more than I write too. Gotta keep it classy ;)

So easing myself back in... I really took the week off entirely. The only activity I did was riding, but I do that everyday, anyway... how else am I going to get to work.

hip feels better.... went to class last night.... weapons and forms... I got it down.... the staff that is. I managed to find all the "parks" that the senior students tend to omit. And I figured out where the origine of certain stikes came from. (the senior students are so fluid when they do staff, it is hard to wrap my brain around  exactly what they are doing) I was told I look like I know what I am doing....I stole my understaning from Dimetri when he was teaching soemone else.  SO I got it, just need to make it look really good now, I have a month, test is the 9 th I believe.

Forms class felt really really good after the break.. I realized I haven't had a week off from everything, since I started Kung Fu... I have taken my breaks from weights, but have used that as an opportunity to extra fu... even when I went away last summer i did forms twice a day, for an hour or so each session. 

Worked a lot on snake tiger and my spin kick... I didn't even form spar, just worked snake tiger over and over and over again... Same thing with that kick... Sad that I have staff down, but not that kick. oh well, I'll get it. 1 month to go. Working on really pushing the differances in the two styles that make that form... snake part being rather snakey, tiger, tigrey... duh..... silly Kung Fu.  so much fun :) and mean : )

I am not going ot lift til Saturday, my hips are already sore again... Gonna put off the Sqautting, and such see where it goes, I have a plan for a routine, actually just continueing what I was doing last round but start at 12 reps, progress down to 8 raise weight blah blah blah... Thinking of maybe switching to a 2 day split after that, for a little while... not sure... see what happens with the money... things might be looking up... but I also have to get a new bike... I just can't face my beater... and I can't look at all the fair weather bikers on their sweet bikes that languish 9 months out of the year... I know it will certainly be over $1000 to rebuild what was stolen.... : (

Have to decide whether I will spar tonight... Tat gets finished Sunday, Can't have that calf bruised... a gentle spar or teo perhaps just to get in the game... I wanna test in spar this test, I didn't last time... I was dissapointed in myself.

I had one gentle spar with Micheal... I did not want to risk my appointment on Sunday, because I was careless. I feel BAAAAD, He walked into one of my body shots... and I hit him HARD, in the ribs... It's bad when I know I hit him too hard... He said he was fine... like I started to apologize immediately, because I knew, what I had done. Then during our break right after warm ups and forms, he came up to me... he said I got him real good, the adrenaline had worn off and he could feel what I had done to him... it is gonna bruise soemthing aweful. Mean while during our fight Phan had shoputed out so many times... Miacheal, you gonna let a girl beat you like that... later on Phan came up to me, and said next time hit him even harder... really beat him... toughen him up...eeep! He said that really quietly wispered it to me as he went past... usually there is a lot of public shaming in class.... in a really supportive encouraging way. Phan finds your weakness (pysical or mental), and just harps on it... so the fact that he said that quietly... poor Michael.

Form spar was fine, worked with drunk Brandon (aikido, master), we somehow sloped through it...

The rest of my class time was devoted to the spin kick, again, again, again,and again, and again. and about 50 more times for good measure. I spun them so many times I was dizzy by the end.

WE have Asian Brandon, and drunk Brandon... Asian Brandon is self explanatory, although sometimes it's ABC Brandon (American Born Chinese).... Drunk Brandon... Phan leaving our studio very late ran into "drunk" Brandon, leaving the bar one Friday night, across the street. He was like.... heyyyy phhhhahhhnn, *stumble, wobble* schee you on thhhhrhrrrusday, *trip, stummble, smile*.... and in that split second his nick name was carved in stone... that was a few years ago, from what I have been told.

He is always quite sober in class...

That Story is too funny That be one heck of a name to live down...ouch!!

Yeah you have to watch it around Phan... he'll get you, it is part of our training it seems... I am lucky in that historically there have never been two of my names at the same time... They show up but drop out in a month... So Phan has said... So I am holding out that I will just be called by my name.


Friday, class helped some one new, with the most basic of our stuff... my baby dragon is all screwed up, since I am working on the intermediate version of the form... instead of stuff tacked on to the end... it's all in the middle, all over the place... sloppy... meh that is it... oh called form spar for the first time... there were like 5 of us in class by that time... Nobody comes on pretty Fridays in summer.

Saturday worked on staff for about 45 minutes. I GOT IT... I GOT IT!!!!

Super sets 60 sec rest after pair... It really really sucked... and then the DOMS came in the middle of my tattoo session... as if I wasn't uncomfortable enough.

Front squats 82 lbs 3 x 12
Split squats 30 lb db 3 x 12 (each leg)

SLDL 112 lbs 3 x 12
lunges alternating 30 lbs db 2 X 12 1 x 10 (yeah seriouslt I couldn't make it)(each leg)

I should have dropped some weight off the bar... I did when I super seted before my little break... I though bah legs I have been going to easy anyway... yeah right... I am just getting weaker. Lazy bastard.

I think I figured out my hip problem... I don't think I can wear my work boots daily anymore... 2 days into wearing them I get lots of joint pain... WHen I take a break from them in 2 days, no problems... regardless of what I am doing pysically at the time.. They weigh 4 pounds a piece... I don't think I can walk around with 4 pounds on each foot everyday all day... anymore... Gonna try sneakers... bring the boots to my desk... that way if I need them I can slip them on otherwise, I can be gordon lightfoot... yeah I know I am not funny... It's ok.

Get some lighter boots woman!

Yeah, I know, but I love them and they are safe... Electrical hazard, steel toe, insulated, waterproof.... I <3 my red wings... But i really think they are a big contributor to my reoccurring joint problems...

Oh, and no I am not as weak as I thought... my Romanians were at 122 last night not 112 that is why they were so hard (and the lunges directly following)!

Stopped in for weapons class... I still have it, went home lifted eventually.

super sets 60 sec rest between pairs
 
DB bench 3 x 12 @ 30 lb each DB
  OH press DB 3 x12 @ 20 (???? really)

incline DB bench 3 x 12 @ 20 each DB
arnolds 3x12 @ 12

DB bench palms in 3 x 12, @ 20
Triceps kickbacks 3 x 15 @ 15

somethings not right in there.... ^I did however take it easy on the weight for push day.. I have a tendency to start to high and stall immediately, because my #'s suck on these lifts... push is my big weakness... So I backed off...
