No training today or yesterday. These are what is known on the softside as off days. I do do cardio just to make sure my estrogen levels stayed high.

BW today was 297.

For being this heavy I feel pretty good. Maybe it is the cardio or maybe I just got used to it.

Today Dick Hartzell "The REAL band man" stopped out and we shot just over 100 minutes of band stuff.

I figured you all have seen squats, benches and pulls with bands hundreds of times so I wanted to show you some of the stuff I used and still use to warm up and keep my joints from hurting all the time.

The first time I met Dick was with Louie many years ago when we stopped out to see him at a clinic to check out the bands for the first time. Louie bought a bunch and we drove back to the gym. Little did I know at the time I would be squatting with them on the barbell soon after we arrived back at the gym. I honestly had NO IDEA. I thought we were going to stretch with them.

Over the years I have seen Dick speak several times, he had made numerous trips to Westside and the offices of EliteFTS and each time I learn something new. Today was no different - except we filmed it all.

Check out the Exercise Index - Video Index for all entries that begin with Jump Stretch or just go to out u-tube site.


Here are some of the clips...
