Loren Christensen also uses that philosophy in his books which give you ideas for training alone. He has great, innovative ideas, too!Slop -n- Goulash: Dinner of Champions!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10609954816213004079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382396310471593265.post-60632754107714884272008-07-22T19:33:00.000-07:002008-07-22T19:33:00.000-07:00I know what you mean about a group setting versus ...I know what you mean about a group setting versus working out alone. Even with PT, it's the same.

I'll definitely check out crossfit. I know, caveman is so hip...I also like the idea of carrying the heavy bag and then throwing it down. I'll mention that to Sensei and I'm sure everyone will love me for that!somaserioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352295244062084613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382396310471593265.post-30181155278677837712008-07-22T14:44:00.000-07:002008-07-22T14:44:00.000-07:00Caveman training is currently in vogue.

Crossfit is similar in philosophy, if you haven't heard of it, and you might be able to find a crossfit crew near you after you move. <BR/><BR/>I haven't done crossfit, but many in BJJ do. There's something called the <A HREF="http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/faq.html#WOD1" REL="nofollow">"Fight Gone Bad"</A> circuit that looks right up your alley. <BR/><BR/>Some drills I like use a heavy bag. We sprint down the mat, slam the heavy bag down, pick it up, sprint back to the start, slam it again, rinse and repeat. That one's fun.<BR/><BR/>Sprawls on the bag are fun, too, being sure to drop the hips all the way to the mat, then explode back to your feet in one smooth motion. <BR/><BR/>Burpees, even though they are hell, are great.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085160494038535606noreply@blogger.com
