Thoughts about my gym
I know it a bit of a strange post but I have thought a lot about my gym lately. It's about a 14'x8' unfinished room in my basement. It's not a lot of space for the stuff I have in there. The contents consist of...
The reason why I am posting this is because I would opinions. What would do you think? What would you do?
- Power Cage with 7' barbell (wish chinup bar)
- Lat pulldown (free weight)
- Adjustable incline/decline bench
- Approximately 700lbs of Olympic weight
- Approximately 300lbs of standard weight
- 3 pairs of adjustable standard dumbbell handles
- 20kg Kettlebell (really too heavy for me)
- 2 15lbs Clubbells
- 3 horse stall mats
- Other stuff like freezer, worktable, a shelf unit with some old paint and what not

I didn't find time to get in some low intensity workout
Today
10:00pm
(Low Intensity)
Intu-Flow Intermediate
Flow-Fit Level 2 (4 rounds practice)
- I am just getting to know the moves but they are coming together pretty quickly
- Spinal rock transition to trinity squat needs a bit of work but I will add that practice in my cool downs on my Mod/High days
Today was a very busy day at work for me. I am learning my new position and today was the first day were I really felt like I was doing stuff on my own. I have the next two days off so I am pretty happy about that. I work Thursday/Friday and I am off Christmas(Saturday), Boxing Day(Sunday) and Monday. I am really starting to feel the holiday, it snuck up so fast as it always seems to. We don't have much snow around here but every where around the GTA has snow. It's like we are in a bubble. I hope we get a bit before Christmas. It's always nice to see around this time of year.
On a side note I had one of those feelings of progression with my training today. I finished my Intu-Flow and my hamstring stretches and I thought I am going to try to touch my toes. Something that I have never been able to do before. Low and behold my fingers can reach under my toes! I now can say I can touch my toes, it sounds small but to me it's huge!

Busy Day HIGH Intensity (2)
Today 6:20am
Intu-Flow Intermediate (I think I really need to move up to the next level)
TACFIT Commando Recruit Mission 3 HIGH (2)
-Warrior Lunge - 7
-Swing Plank Knee - 2
-Air Borne Squat Shin - 4
-Spiderman Push Up Knee - 4
-Shin Box Twist- 4
-Table Lift - 7
TOTAL: 28 (Hell of a lot better then the last)
TACFIT Commando Cool Down 3
Today is filled with running around so my wife and I decided to get in our workouts early. It's Christmas time so I guess it's a given that there will be running around. Today we have my wife's work lunch at a buffet and I am not holding back. It's not very often that we go to buffets. Then this we are taking our niece to a town close by to see some Christmas lights. We did it last year but she was 2 and was not talking like this is now so it should be fun. We are trying to create traditions with her because I feel that tradition is the thing that makes Christmas meaningful.

-Intu-Flow Intermediate
9:00am
-Intu-Flow Intermediate
-Prasara Primer Wind *transition into the pigeon pose I felt my left knee pop in a bad way, I have some to the conclusion that I have to be very careful from now on in any kind of knee rotation like pigeon, shinbox twist, sitting cross legged.
-Mass Assault Cool down
-TCMDO Cool down video #2
My knee is ok but a little sore. Tomorrow shouldn't be much of an issue because there are not lateral movements but I might have to repeat my CB day on my high day (Monday) as well. I should be good to get back to Commando after that.
I got a nice book to start logging my workouts in. As I evolve with CST I want to be able to look back a few years down the line at what I did. I know I do it on my blog too much I thought I should be putting it down on paper too.

CB High Day
December 9, 2010 8:00am
Intu-Flow Intermediate
High - Compound 15lbs CB Work (7 sets of 7-8 reps) 30sec rest between each set
- Front Swing - 8 sets of 8 reps with 30 sec rest inbetween
- Gama Casts - 8 sets of 8 reps with 30 sec rest inbetween
- Barbarian Squats - 8 sets of 8 reps with 30 sec rest inbetween
TCMDO - Cool down video #2
It felt good to get in some CB work. the most challenging was the barbarian squat. Mike suggested that I move my CB work to my mod day and my TACFIT Commando Recruit Mission 3 to my high day because I had a hard time keeping the Tacfit in the moderate level.

A few days of work

Training and snow
08:30am
- Intu-Flow Intermediate
I had a late night last evening due to a family party and when I left at 12:00am it was snowing. I got up and there was a light sprinkle on the ground, not much just enough to cover parts of the road. Today however they are calling for 5cm of snow. It's not much but it will make it feel a bit more like Christmas time. I am happy about that. Once Christmas and New Years is over though I am ok with not seeing anymore snow. We know that wont happen but one can only wish.
Tomorrow I am going to try and get my butt out of bed early and get in some Prasara.

New Program Layout
Today 10:15am
-Intu-Flow Intermediate
I am getting ready to start my new program next week. I have to get some things together though. I had to put Tacfit Commando Recruit Mission 3 and Cricket, Ocean and Wind from Prasara Primer 2.0 onto a DVD so I can put it on a portable DVD player. I don't have an ipad like some of us... Dean ;).
My program is going to be as follows...
No - Intu-Flow Intermediate
Low - Cricket, Wind, Ocean x3 from Prasara Primer 2.0 *All beginner
Mod - TACFIT Commando Recruit Mission 3
High - Compound 15lbs CB Work (7 sets of 7-8 reps) 30sec rest between each set
- Front Swing
- Gama Casts
- Barbarian Squats
I am pretty pumped about this plan I have to try to get in the Prasara in that will be my challenge. Thanks to MikeRNY for helping me with the program. He's a very driven/motivating individual who has been my mentor since my first step into CST.

Final Days
December 1, 2010 (late night 10:30pm session)
- Intu-Flow Intermediate
- Full Tacfit Commando Cool Down
Today (Day 27)
- Intu-Flow Intermediate
- TFCOMDO Recruit 2A (Mod) Total: 56
- Busy, busy day today running around and what not but I managed to get in the session
I got a message the other day from MikeRNY who I have been talking to for quite some time now. He recently got his certs in TACFIT and CST. He's a pretty busy buy with work and what not but we have been speaking back and forth and he has become almost like a big brother so to speak. Mike really talked me out of getting back to traditional lifting and I am glad he did. He is putting together 4x7 month long program that will incorporate Commando and Clubbells and I am pretty excited about it. Stay tuned to watch me take my training to a new level. I am really expecting big things to come of this.
