Ouch.

Haha, I got to a point where I didn’t completely suck on the speed bag but always marveled at those who made it look so damn easy. I would always go over and try it for 5mins each boxing session when I used to go.

What the hell is wrong with you haha

My hand eye coordination in terms of striking is still pretty poor. This has been my first athletic venture involving unilateral hand movement requiring various levels of precision. It’s good at keeping me honest though. I can tell when I start to clench down and things get stiff and clunky.

It’s not too bad, to be honest. A couple times I’ve done heavier sets with some higher reps. I think the worst was 135/100xper leg. That really sucked. However, it’s a lot like walking. As long as you start the lunge, you’ll probably finish it. You can go a lot farther than it feels.

Got through this 4 times in the time limit, which I’m unsure of. Somewhere between 11 and 14 minutes.

Also sparred 6 rounds. Last time I had eaten was a smallish meal (around 800 calories) at 11:30. My forearms were starting to cramp pretty bad.

Raw Milk is supposed to be magic, right? My local grocery store started carrying it at a reasonable price. May be a lot of dairy in my diet in the near future.

Left obliques very, very sore. I seem to not be coordinated enough to kick with my right with enough force to bring about soreness on that side.

My perspiration amount is out of control. Not only do I leave a trail, if in one place for long enough I leave standing water/sweat. Enough to ripple or flow based on moving around said sweat.
