Training, Eating, Eischens so far this week and going to NYC tomorrow!!

First Grade picture....D-Wade is biting my style from back in the day!!:) haha

I remember how excited i was to take this picture and wear this bow tie:) haha it was a big deal to me! My mom laughs and says you were dead set on wearing that tie!:) haha It's funny how things come back in circles...50's and 60's (which this picture was:) bow ties were the way to go....very cool:) at least i thought so at the time. Nowadays they're back again and lots of the NBA players and some NBA announcers too are sporting them big time....what do i think? Love it! Very cool! Anythings better than the sagging the pants look, dang! What is up with that style?? Dont know how many of my high school athletes i've trained i had to tell them to pull their pants up higher cause i wasnt having that in my gym! hahaha They'd laugh...it was all cool:)
Me today? Bow tie? Whew, not sure if i can go that route as that's too much for me:) maybe someday...still think they're dope!

On to the last few days of training, eating and yoga!
Monday - simple and strong...you know i love that!!

1. 24k pullups x 10 sets = 31 reps!! Doubled my numbers from a few weeks back!! Great!!
2. Wall press ups x 10 sets = 65 reps! Again up'd my numbers from 2 weeks ago! Great!
3. Back dome and Power wheel work man i've been on those two big time and feeling great!!

• Taught Eischens Yoga class - after initial sequence of 30 minutes we focused on back dome work with a simple combination of poses that dramatically increase ROM of your backdome! If you do not know what they are you gotta come to a course so we can show you....makes your hips, back and shoulders feel amazing!

4. 28k's kb back dome press ups: 3 x 6 reps

• Teaching EY tonight - reviewing basics of 1st sequence, then working on inversions tonight like handstands, headstands and elbow stands with lots of various challenges too....love this night as it's very challenging and i love seeing all the students improve each night on these poses....these ones you can see great change each week that transfers over to our training too!
