hey steve, thanks for sharing! nice work!

you can embed the video by clicking "HTML" in thw rich text editor and then copy and paste the "embed code" from youtube.

Thanks Ashe.  

I was thinking that perhaps we could have a personal training thread ? We could post what we're training and any insights that pop up.

What d'ya reckon ?

Nice workout!  That looks challenging and fun.

Thanks Qiang. Yep both

Sounds good!  we can just use this topic that you've started and go from there!

so everybody feel free to start adding in your clips.  these days i don't have much going on besides ILC...

All right, I'll post a workout vid.  Here's a workout my buddies and I did in December:

We haven't actually done the rings in a while.  I think I was just on the cusp of getting everyone doing muscle ups before it got wicked cold and we stopped hanging the rings as often.  The medicine balls was just messing around at the end of the workout.

it's easy to do, i think ashe made a faq on how to embed video players. if not we'll do it soon. i think the videos inline is really nice.

hey johnny, looking good!  you've got quite a lat spread there att he bottom of the pull up movements.

Here's part of my training regimine from last summer when i was getting my i nmy conditioning for my lei tai match.  i haven't dine much hard training since, so i'm getting a bit soft now...

working on getting my wife motivated to start some exercise again so we can do it together.

I couldn't figure out how to do it?  There's no html button or vid button in the editor for me.  Just basics like links, bold, italicize, justify text, lists, pics, symbols, and emoticons.

It's fun getting the entire household exercising.  I used to work out with my wife, which was fun while it lasted.  I got her most of the way to getting a chin up and doing squats with proper form.  Then, my workouts started hitting an intensity level completely inappropriate for her fitness level, so now the men and women have split into different workout groups.

hmm... maybe the perms aren't set right for your user level?

aha! I have html privileges now.

very, very nice work johnny!  you've clearly put your time in.  is that a buddy lee?

Thanks.  I actually have spent more time than I probably should have learning rope tricks, but it was hella fun.  I am using a Buddy Lee rope.  I've got the Aero Speed (my favorite), and I was using my wife's Rope Master in that particular video.

nice.  why do you like the aero speed best?  the thing i don't like about my buddy lee is the rope never straightened out properly after shipping.

then again i haven't used it enough...

I like the aero speed more simply because it's easier to get the aero speed turning fast.  I'm starting to like the rope master more, but when I want to get speed work in, I head straight for the aero speed.  The rope master is nicer for the crossing tricks, but it does take a little time (as well as stronger forearms) to get used to the longer handles.

The buddy lee ropes straighten out after a few skipping sessions.  The cords do kink though if you don't store them right (and it takes a few minutes of jumping to straighten them out again).  Hanging them up or scrunching them in my gym bag didn't work well for me.  I did this instead to keep the cord kink-free:

hey that's a cool idea!
