After a few days of low grade pain, I finally went to a doctor today after my left hand swelled up… I got a series of X-rays, which didn’t show any bone damage… It looks like I tore a tendon in my wrist – under my thumb – working some BJJ against a 350lb training [...]
Since I seem to be spending the majority of my time on social media sites posting stuff, I thought I’d link those posts here on my personal site as well… Good article on problem solving various types of “injuries.”

This is a followup to my last article (Training Related Injuries – Is it Serious, or [...]
I saw my doctor yesterday, in a follow-up to check out the status of my lungs after getting whooping cough. I am officially on the mend. My lungs are almost back to normal (in terms of inflammation and capacity). My doctor suggested a few more days of recovery (no going “balls-to-the-wall” in training). So nothing [...]

In keeping with past years, I was looking for a “pithy” catchall phrase, or sentence, to capture the spirit of this year’s driving themes… So far, I haven’t found anything better than this, from last year:

Exercise is NOT the way to lose fat (though some types of exercise can help you lose weight). There are only three reasons to exercise (unless training for a sport then there are five reasons): 1. Building/maintaining lean muscle (including your heart). [...]
Starting tomorrow: Getting back to writing… Three projects calling me, and I’ve been preoccupied with other things… Also a new 8-week training cycle begins… I can’t wait!
Normally on Thursday morning I teach a semi-private MMA class… My trainees are out for the day, so I “stole” the time and had a fantastic yoga WO. Joint mobility, bunches of hand (arm) balances, core training, modified Sun Salutation, some Wu Shu hip and leg work… Feeling both wiped out and invigorated at the [...]
I got a great compliment on my yoga class at Gold’s Gym Loveland today. One of the participants, Robert, told me it was the best class he’d EVER been to! Yikes! I will try not to get a big head about it… Wait till he sees what I’ve got in store for them in the [...]
