“The punchline is machismo.”
Too lazy to go to gym yester-evening. Too lazy to write something inspired now.
Anyways:
Started with left stance and did 10 Jabs, 10 Hooks and 10 Uppercuts, all as fast and hard as I could do ‘em and all cut off hard. I then immeditaly did the same for the right side, rested/stretched about one minuted and repeated all this another 5 times.
Moving on I did Jab-Cross-Front kick, then Hook-Crosspunch-Full sidekick. Switch stance, repeat. All in all I did this ~10 times per side.
Next was high side kicks and roundhouse’s, I saved these for last since my hamstrings seem to be easily offended at the moment and I wanted them all warmed up and nice. I did about 30 high sides on each side and maybe 15 round’s on each side. I was planning to stop there but apparently the sudden violent exercises let me tap into some souce of energy that I had collected over the weekend, so I did the punching series again, although this time I was a lot less explosive.. I kept it going with variations on punch-punch-kick combos and completely ruined my biceps femoris with crescent-kick-> sidekick, I then proceeded to go flying through the room and just missing the TV while trying a jab->cross->crescent->sidekick->roundhouse combo a few times. I succeeded like five out of six, although maybe my form was pretty crappy.
For cool down I played Fighters Uncaged, which is a full movement fighting game for Kinect. Some of the motions are poorly traced in the game and the design & voice acting is terrible, but it’s pretty satisfying to stand around in your living room kicking, punching and blocking in the air and seeing you digital fists and feet connect with a computer-controlled bad guy. I am a computer-tech-guy so it is extra nice for me.
Oh, and yes; my abdominals, hamstrings and especially my lats are completely fried today. Also, picture related; it’s where I learned to fight, and to train like my health and mind depended on it. I honestly feel I became a better person both for myself and others after having trained under the guys over there.
