I took my son to the park today, and did my own little workout while playing with him.
I tried to do some pull-ups. I got quite a ways up on the first one, but hit a point where I couldn't get past. It felt like I was about half-way there, or a bit better, but couldn't complete it. I did a few more after that, each of which went less and less the way up. I also did some dips on some other bars, and also scaled the monkey bars once.

Training is kind of off this week. I don't think I will be making class this week, so it is up to some solo time at home.
I took about 10 or 15 minutes to work on just the first 15-20 moves of my form, Yoo Sin. I worked on the hip movement and getting power into the techniques, by trying to increase speed. Just doing this much, and working on the sitting stances, got my legs a little bit sore. Doing lots of reps in a little time got the wind going, too.

Pushups: 5x10
Sit ups: 4x10
I also spent time working on my form again today, doing the first 10 to 15 movements. I was concentrating on using hip twist and body motion to get power in my techniques, and am finding a few things that work, and a few things that I thought I was doing, but need more work at.

Push-ups: 3x10...a few of these reps were with my son crawling on my back. 
Sit-ups: 3x10
Standing chambering legs, alternating: 3x20
TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:00. Good class tonight. Basics wore me down. My form felt good tonight, too. Sparring was good; I worked on some things that the 4th dan in the class helped me with. I worked on closing the gap with some sliding forward side kicks, and then proceding to follow up with more offense. It worked well, but made me tired. I am usually much more defensive when fighitng.

Day at the park! Tried to do pull-ups again, got 3 1/2 pull-ups done. Held the last one for a bit, too. I also hung and swung the monkey bars 3 times. Also did 2 sets of 3 dips.

TKD Class: Good class tonight. I worked on sliding with my side kicks in basics to use in sparring. After basics, I did 2 sets of 10 push-ups, followed by some stretching. When we were doing one-steps, I was working with a 1st dan, and I was giving him ideas to speed up his kicking combinations. He began improving immediately, and I told him to take it into sparring with him, too. He did, and his sparring was so much better tonight. He was not used to being so active, and he was really tired. After I got a few kicks to his head, I gave him some advise on keeping his hands up. After that, he managed to kick me right in the side of the head!   It was a good, solid round kick, too. I told him that he did a great job.

Ugg. I am sick this week. It sucks. No class, no lifting. I did go to the park with my son, though, and managed 4 1/2 pull-ups. It felt like, on the first one, that I had pulled myself up just a bit farther. I could feel it differently in my shoulders. I may be getting closer to a full pull-up!
