judoboy — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:13:06 +0000

3 mins shadow boxing + 3 mins skipping

12k kb - c+p: 10l/10r

coct - no set close + grind: 3x3 l/r

big stretch + few 8k windmills

no rest on reps, 30 secs on sets - felt very wobbly after 160 strikes with sledge, could have done more but my co-ordination was shot. 1 hand strike to front levers completely toasted my hands and forearms was fun and challenging too. gripper work at end was painful and probly not the best idea - felt like pushing it.
