OptimusPrimarch Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Other monk quest I did: 60 seconds of grappling. Didn't win... didn't submit... but I spent most of the match at a disadvantage. That's what I get for only having done 2 groundwork classes I suppose lvl 4 Astartes Monk STR 8.5 | STA 9.5 | CON 6.5 | DEX 7.75 | WIS 10 | CHA 7.25"Burn the Calorie, Kill the Workout, Purge the Apathy"Push Up Challenge: Yellow Belt (36) Link to comment
Kishi Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 RKC style plank is doing so whilst tensing your glutes, hollowing out your core, and tensing your pecs by attempting to pull your arms across the floor and toward one another. Good job on the roll. Having disadvantage sucks. Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
Teirin Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 That just means you need to do more groundwork :-D Have fun! 1 Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to comment
SevenFootGeek Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Okay, I have spent some time in thought and I have some monk quests for you. It helps that I know your art rather well and can tailor things. 1. Shoulder walk across the width of the club as many times as you can in a minute. Alternately, if your new place has a decent sized living room area that is not completely occupied by furniture, do it there.2. Do Cheechoe's excellent hip stretching routine.3. Do our shoulder push for striking. 20 times on each shoulder.4. Practice gripping the mats with your toes. Do the toe training exercise for your lead leg snap kick 20 times on each leg. I'll think more later. I'm cleaning house before my trip next week. 1 Half-Giant Monk current challenge "Promote yourself, but do not demote another." Yisroel Salanter Link to comment
OptimusPrimarch Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 woot, gonna shoulder walk down my hall! 1 lvl 4 Astartes Monk STR 8.5 | STA 9.5 | CON 6.5 | DEX 7.75 | WIS 10 | CHA 7.25"Burn the Calorie, Kill the Workout, Purge the Apathy"Push Up Challenge: Yellow Belt (36) Link to comment
Teirin Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Had to look up shoulder walk. Nice. Do you also do the exercise where you pull yourself down the mats/floor using only your arms? Both hands reach out, then fist and twist in as you use your forearms to pull yourself forward. No feet. I'm not sure what it's called. Good pulling exercise. Behave yourself, badly if necessary. Current Challenge Judo - Shodan My Character Link to comment

I'm not sure what it's called. Good pulling exercise. Nope, never seen that before. Do your arms stay in close the whole time? I'm trying to visualize it and I'm not sure how you'd proceed once you shift from pulling to pushing lvl 4 Astartes Monk STR 8.5 | STA 9.5 | CON 6.5 | DEX 7.75 | WIS 10 | CHA 7.25"Burn the Calorie, Kill the Workout, Purge the Apathy"Push Up Challenge: Yellow Belt (36) Link to comment
Teirin Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 You don't shift to pushing. You reach out again and repeat the pulling part. If I remember, I'll get one of the guys to get some video tonight at class. It's slow but a great exercise. Behave yourself, badly if necessary.
