Just an update on my training...I'm two-weeks into my routine and have gained 4 lbs so far...For some reason, the pain is harder to get used to, but I'm ok after the warm-ups.
I also increased my calorie (protien) intake and number of meals per day...I'm taking it light so far, just to get the technique and body mechanics to proper form...My trainer is an ex strongman competitor from Romania...He's got me doing my split routine, but he puts emphasis on arm and weight positioning.
One of the hardest things I've added is working with Gymnastic Rings...I'm using my own body weight, but minus any stabilization, I can barely do anything...It's all wobblely, for instance, I can do three sets of ten bench dips (no problem), but can barely do three dips using the rings??? Go figure.
After my strength training is when I start practicing the actual game evolutions...A friend of mine named William McKnight is helping me to build the props...If you're interested, I'll continue to keep you guys up-to-date every once in awhile.
Thanks again for the tips and motivation.
