*Long Post*
After getting used to the basics of Clubbell-ing it is time for me to focus on a solid 'Health' oriented program.
Here is my bio.
I am 31 years old. 72kilos (158lbs) at 5'9".
Approximate body fat is 10%. :?:
I don't diet per se. I keep my intake of nutrients natural. I live in Japan so I have access to wonderful, VERY FRESH fish and veggies. My meats are from organic sources. Whole grains, brown rice over breads. I have had a pretty weak stomach for most of my life so I am a very clean eater out of habit. My better half is an acupuncturist so she is working on the stomach problem.
Sweets are not something I enjoy eating.

Due to a bad dislocation of my shoulder last year in Judo I have stepped back and re-evaluated my outlook on training. My purpose has shifted from competition to continuation. I have scaled back my practices to twice a week rather than three to four times. I just want to able to enjoy myself at practice now.
Thanks to my shoulder seperation I discovered Clubbell training. I was originally just looking for a way to strenghen my shoulder but soon learned the benefits of the Clubbell as to the 'whole' of the body. This was learned while getting used to my 15lber and the basics.
I have quit conventional 'lifting' and now will only focus on the Clubbell as a tool for whole body, mind developement.
My purpose of this program is not 'Get Huge', 'Get Ripped' or look like a cover model. I would have to shave my chest for that...
One thing that Coach Sonnon said that struck me is that 'Form follows function'. I really like that . Up until now I have been going the opposite way by trying to 'sculpt' my body into a way that I thought was productive. I only produced an injury prone body...
I am very impressed with the transformations that have occurred with Coach Sonnon's Clubbell training. If that also becomes a result of my training that would not be undesirable.
My purpose is to be able to perform and continue in my sport and enjoy life to the fullest. Prepare and maintain a body that can withstand the bumps, pushes, pulls, bashes and stresses of life. Lately I seem to injure more easily and ache more. However, I refuse to claim that I am 'getting old'!
I am NOT talking about preparing for a specific fight, match or etc.
I AM talking about preparing for the long run.
Taking a cue from the Longevity Program in Clubbell Training for Circular Strength I have been working on a program that is similar to Coach Sonnon's program in Phase I.
For the past two weeks I have been focusing on skill sets for the Swipe and Mill. My goal is not to compete. I just like the feel of Swipes and Mills.
My shoulder has healed and I am still in the GPP phase of my training.
Tues, Thurs evening and Sat morning. Under 45 minutes
A. 3 sets of 10 reps Basic Arm Swing.
B. 3 sets of 8 reps Clean to Armpit Cast.
C. 3 sets of 10 reps Cossacks. (However, I go to Order Pos instead of Flag Pos.)
D. 3 sets of 8 reps each arm Inward to Outward Pendulum
E. 3 sets of 6 reps each arm Parry Cast to Back Position to Shoulder Cast Muscle-Out, to Back Position to Armpit Cast to Park
F. 3 sets of 12 reps each arm Swipes
Judo is Mon and Fri.
Every morning I do Warrior Wellness.
Before going to bed at night I also do 15 minutes of Yoga, (have for 10 years) and 15 minutes of breathe work.
I ride my bicycle everyday to work and to where ever I need to go. No car for me.
So to you, the Gurus o' the Clubbell, am I on the right track?
Looking forward to your insights.
