Thanks for checking in on my guys, I am alive and think I will be for a while as far as BMX is concerned. I don't think I am good enough to hurt myself yet. Kuri, I wouldn't necessarily say I am "into BMX" - I found a skate park and went and bought a cheap bike. I haven't been on a non-mountain bike since I was 14, haven't been on one of them much. And in Arkansas in the 80s, we didn't have any skate parks, all I jumped was curbs. I would say Sunday was my first real attempt at BMX, I was mostly just getting comfortable, and didn't really do much. I sure remember getting a lot more air back when I was 12 though.

You can get as intense a cardio workout from the Kettlebells as you would ever want. A couple of 5 minute circuits makes my heart want to explode. If your muscles wear down, and you want more cardio, just grab a lighter bell, and get after it. Maybe something I should have done for the Turkish get-ups. Back feels a lot better today though - I just might have attacked them too heavy too fast.

I have been training with the Club team, but haven't decided how that is going yet. Thursday and today were both pretty weak in terms of turnout and intensity. I am not sure yet how many of them are there to improve rather than just to goof off, or if we will be able to consistently have a good practice around the jokers.

That is probably because I Overhead Squat almost as much as I back squat. Tons of people back squat heavier than me, but I can do the overhead thing!
