This is my first post on my blog but there will be many more to come. I am mainley doing this to keep track of my workouts for the years to come. This way I can look back on it an see what I have done and how I change things yada yada yada.
I have had an issue with my left knee and have been recovering for about two weeks now I am about 90% right now and hope to be 100% with in two mew weeks.
This is what I did today...
TACFIT Commando Recruit: Level 2
Intu-Flow® Warmup
Prasara Cooldown
RPE: 5-6
RPD: 2-3
RPT: 7
I did the Recruit 2 workout today but didn't keep score I was just testing the waters with the knee to see how things went. I think they went pretty well but I can tell that this Recruit 2 program is going to be a tough one for me. That's ok because I like that challenge...
Lunge Twist - (I started off with a normal lunge from Recruit 1 because my coach told me not to put too much strain on the knee. After two rounds I started with the lunge twist and I must say I didn't feel any strain on my knee in this one.
Revolving Table - I can tell that I am going to have a bit of a challenge remembering what hand to start with on this one. I was getting confused at first but I started to get it by the end of the 8 rounds. My knee was a little sore when I come up into the deep squat position but it was not pain that would stop me from doing it.
Scorpion Crucifix - this one is interesting, I have to make sure I keep checking my form. My left leg goes over not problem but my right leg I can feel a bit of a tug in the knee. It’s strange because it's not the injured one. I can really feel it in my outer quads when doing this exercise.
Bear Squat - My knee felt better than I thought it would on this one. I am having the problem that I knew I would have. That is that I just don't feel comfortable in the upward dog position. I am not that flexible and it's hard to come in and out of the pose for all 8 rounds. I had to take a break through one round. It needs some work.
Rocca Forearm - Same as above I had to take two breaks on this one because my shoulders started to feel "week" and I really don't need another injury. I think this was the hardest exercise in Recruit 2.
Bridge Clap - This one wasn't so bad but it was harder than I thought it was going to be to do it for 8 rounds. No issue with the knee on this one at all.
This I hope to get out of Recruit #2 is my downward dog flexibility and my flexibility all together. I think doing enough bear squats and rocca forearms will help with this.
I also took out three bushes today from my backyard man what a workout that was. I had the shuvels, axe, hatchet and rake going. I felt like I got in a great workout today between Commando and the bushes I'm beat.

Congrats on getting started with a blog! It does really help, and I've found it pretty interesting to be able to look back and see how I was doing a month or 2 ago. I haven't built up the history that Dean has, but it is still motivating to look back a short while and see some progress. If we stick with it, I'm sure we'll both build up a long history and find it very motivating and informative.
One question, are you tracking reps in your Tabata session at all? Looking back, I think that might have been nice to keep track of to see the progress over time. I know in the first program I was able to move in reps quite a few times and it was cool to see the progress on paper. Might be even nicer to see that progress in your blog. Just a thought.
Morazi thanks for checking out my blog I just finished sending you’re a comment on yours. It's looking good keep it up!
As far as keeping tracking of my Commando sessions. I was keeping track of them in Recruit #1 however due to my knee injury I had to put Commando on pause for a few weeks. The above session was just a "tester" to see how things would go so I didn't want to push myself too hard by keeping score. I was just going through the motions so to speak.
Nice going Brian, looking forward to following your blog and your training.
Dean
Thanks Dean! Good to see you here.
