Facing the possiblity of being deactivted was the kick up the ass I needed to finally start posting my program log! I had sought advice a few months back and was very grateful for Coach Sonnan's words of wisdom. (here was his reply for anyone interested)
'Quote:
1. I want to begin to build some lean muscle, I don't have a specific target amount here. I just want to begin the process in this 12 week cycle.
2. I want to start to increase my total body strength for 'combat' -by combat I mean sparring/grappling in the ring/mat and if required, survival on the street) In particular I want to focus on my upper body, primarily grip strength. I have quite slender hands, wrists and forearms. These are weak areas that require attention and are of primary focus in this cycle.
3. I want to increase my endurance for 'combat'. It would be nice not to be exhaustedafter the first minute in the ring/on the mat! My focus has be on LSD Training in the past- now I see the error of my ways!
Clubbells® will do this for you.
Quote:
4. I want to start a more concerted process of removing residual tension-'Fear-Reactivity' particularly from the neck, shoulders and hip. I am particularly interested in it's role in dealing with sudden violent attacks, as per you article 'Suddenly Violent Attacks-how to deal?'
Incorporate the Body-Flow™ Neck Roll, Arm Screw and Leg Thread into your Biomechanical Exercise™ Ratchet Program.
Quote:
5. I want to build a solid foundation in CT4CST from where I can work towards my long Long Term goals of CST Instructorship ans Olympic Clubbell®® Competition.
This will do it. Don't worry about that.
Quote:
6. I want to develop agility and coordination for 'combat'. Again maybe a little vague, but I just aim to start the process and build a foundation in 12 weeks. Between Biomechanical Exercise™ from Body-Flow™ and Clubbell® Training, you'll get exactly these attributes. You won't need to specifically train for them since they are a natural by-product.
Quote:
7. Probably my most important goal to 'master the step by step process' to my goals. I see this Program as a start.
It's a good start. Chart your progress in the Personal Training Logs.
Quote:
Time wise I have approx. 2.5 hours in the morning and 1.5-2hours in the evening, approx. 5-6 days per week.
That's very heavy duration and frequency. You need to get out of the LSD mindset. If you can go longer than 30-40 minutes, you're not training hard enough. When you start ROSS, Judo and Boxing, you'll be going those durations in PRACTICE and COMPETITION (sparring). You need to address the variable Burst-Recover-Burst endemic to combat sports.
Crunch out the numbers for a DOUBLE-D AM/PM split of Swipes in the morning and Cossacks in the evening over the course of 12 weeks.'

However I never did quite get round to posting my training log as promised, sorry!
Due to a change in circumstances and therefore a bit of re-evaluating my new (and improved for anyone interested!) goals are
1.Be Healthily and Consistently on Schedule - Master the step by step process
2.Stick to the schedule for the duration of the cycle.
3.I want to begin to build some lean muscle, I don't have a specific target amount here. I just want to begin the process. In particular I want to focus on my upper body, primarily grip strength.
4. I want to build a solid foundation in CT4CST from where I can work towards my long Long Term goals of CST Instructorship ands Olympic Clubbell® Competition.(God that seems far away!)
5.I want to start a concerted process of removing residual tension-'Fear-Reactivity' particularly from the neck, shoulders and hip.
6.Recover and Sophisticate ROM
7.Develop agility and Coordination
8. Explore breathing exercises in Dykhaniye Tape.

Hurt Rotator Cuffs in both arms - left worse- just been doing Warrior Wellness.
It's made me realise a number of things:-
I skipped a couple of important steps - increased intensity too rapidly bfeore building up a solid technique.
Although I did practice the core components of the swipes and mills I think I should Have spent a little more time on them.
Therefore I'm not going to do anything that dynamic with the clubbells for another 4 weeks. I will instead focus on improving my grip protocol - this is a weak area - with the clubbells, my ROM with WW and a little GPP with some BME/BWE- kept well below failure. After this I'll follow the 4C.
