Morning workout, I'm not a morning person lol.

Long-ish rests, stopped before failure. Took it kind of easy -- jujitsu tonight, don't want to be too tired to roll...
Chair dips - 99
Body Rows off of dining table - 99
8 sets of 12 reps, 9th and last set to 15 reps, close to failure
Taylor,
What type of jujitsu do you study? My first formal martial arts training was in jujitsu (Akayama Ryu).

Joel --
I do Danzan Ryu and crosstrain with judo for randori. Just about two years in. Love it. Do you still train? I did wing chun and western boxing for years and years, but got tired of getting punched in the head. Chokes and armbars are so much more civil...
Are you the evil genius behind TMFS? Looking forward to some sick plyometric action tomorrow.
Did one set every 2 mins, so 10 sets...
Parallel dips: 47
Chins: 38
Taylor,
I haven't pursued any formal martial arts training on a consistent basis in several years. I have a heavy bag hanging in my shed that I play with frequently.
I enjoy judo, but jujitsu remains my first love. I had a buddy that trained in Wing Chun. I enjoyed the few things I learned from him. I sense that the trapping and rapid hand strikes of Wing Chun would nicely complement those found in many styles of kenpo.
