Ahh the joys of training

Hi Guys,

Thanks for reading.

I was really looking forward to posting some new splits photos this week but unfortunately some minor niggling injuries are telling me to take it easy this week.

Despite breaking my toe at jujitsu, I did have a great stretch on Saturday and wish I could have taken some photos then, I'm sure I've made some progress since the last set of photos.

Instead, you get a photo of my broken toe. Enjoy......


The good thing about broken toes is there isn't much you can do for them. Just tape it to another toe and away you go....and hope you don't kick it on anything!!

That along with a small pull at the back of my knee I got while chasing my cats up the corridor (gotta love getting older!!)  have convinced me its probably for the best to have an active rest week (I'm over due for one actually).

Instead of strength training I will do some massage and maybe some light relaxed stretches. Despite these minor inconveniences I'm actually feeling really positive about my stretching. It feels like I'm making some progress particularly on my open front split, will need to sort out some photos asap to get an objective view on it.

I've also decided I need to add some harder resistance training for my Hip Flexor into my leg strengthening routine. There aren't a lot of options but I have a few exercises I plan to try out, I will keep you updated on how they go.
