Well me and Yoda were both lamenting our failure to keep up with squats, so we've teamed up to try and make it happen. Nothing heavy, but just making it more likely to happen because we're both trying and might make more effort for each other than we would just for ourselves.

 

So I thought it would be good to have a thread for this idea. If you have a practice you'd like to do and you're maybe just not quite motivated enough to make it happen on your own, then post here and see if anyone would like to join you. Then you can encourage each other and keep it going, and share notes.

 

That's all.

A friendly bet - not necessarily for money- might help you keep at it.

Interested!

 

15 squats a day to start then up it 2 a week ?

Is that it, or is there more to it I missed ?

 

in a bit of need

of discipline!

 

might help!

 

was thinking about adding low horse stance into my mix

for 2 min at a time (if able to do 2 min.?)

like squats better!

Been lax for the past month or so on practices.

needing to get back to some stuff.

miss it but still seem reluctant?

Current practice is mostly just a little form and sitting at night for awhile.

Thanks kids!

Up to you guys.

Me - I'm not bragging mind you - but I don't need incentive to practice.

I'm like the energizer bunny - I just keep going.

In fact I need to take a day off from time to time.

cool. I have the mat. I am the girl. No squats for me though. must tend to knees. training together and exchanging experience is alpha and omega. I have a friend, she helps me keep up motivation, travelling I train with my better half.

Isn't

First rule of Squat Club was NOT TO talk about Squat Club

 

 

 

 

Actually Squatting is great, huge bang for the buck muscle wise, I've been feeling the burn lately doing low horsestance bouncing/vibrating part of Varjattsu's KAP1 program.

AWWW.

COME ON!

I'M A GIRL FOR CARP'S SAKE!

NOT TALK ABOUT IT???

 

THAT'S WHY I JOINED!!!

 

 

Hahaa! You are right about the burn, man!

Didn't realize this old body of mine was that out of shape!

Wow!

 

The Kap programs sound pretty cool?

 

Have fun!

Don't forget the second rule too

 

So what do we want?

 

Endless strings of numbers?

"1, 2, 3, 4, missed a day, 1, 2, missed a day, 1 etc"

 

A daily post to signify compliance?

"I'm a squatter

ask me how"

 

Or (my favourite) a "signup sheet" then only post excuses.

 

"I've done 1904 days in a row but I missed today because my cat was sick"

replies

"Not good enough"

"1st loser"

"Is your cat ok?"

"Drop and give me 20!"

If Pranaman doesn't get to Portland and train he's gonna kick his own ass!

 

oh man, due to injury, i'm not going to be down there for a damn long time. i'm talkin like a month or two months. I've had an injury with the symptom of sciatic nerve pain when I take a step or move my leg. It's been like this for almost three months, and it's hold me back from progressing. I keep injuring it in class because of the different drills. Now I just do all the upper body strength training and standing. I doubt Sifu Fong would have a problem with the strategy.

 

but it's wrong I tell you, it's wrong! this heavy feeling sucks!

 

as far as discipline goes, pictures yourself being as good as your teacher thanks to the practice you do now.

Edited November 3, 2008 by Pranaman

[Mal]

"Can I mercilessly torment you?"

 

Of course..... but not for being too lazy to squat!

 

Hope you recover quickly Pranaman pain is not good.

 

And speaking of pain. Nice cam feeds Spectrum, I like how she took a drink first !

teachers have always inspired me to practice.

always avoided practice with dream killers.

found dancing hands moments from 2001.
