It has been a long while since I produced any instructional material on training for sports and martial arts. The reason is a severe shoulder injury I had a few years ago. I totally dislocated and nearly destroyed my shoulder. (Full info on the injury is at http://atomic-temporary-4752433.wpcomstaging.com/2010/06/30/back-bridge-twist-seminar-excerpt and http://atomic-temporary-4752433.wpcomstaging.com/2009/10/22/no-sweat-workout/#comment-133.)
Of course, I was not sitting idle all that time. I worked out as much as I could. As soon as I could do any exercises after the shoulder surgery, I did. And so, in addition to the shoulder rehab, I did whatever exercises I could do for strength and flexibility of my legs and trunk.
Someone who saw my workouts told me, “You have this gold mine of know-how—you should share it!” So I had a couple of my workouts recorded, with me explaining how and why I do what I do, and put them on a DVD.
I don’t show any spectacular feats of strength or flexibility on this DVD. After all, my destroyed shoulder is still far from normal strength, so I can’t train the way I used to. But this is good news for people who have let themselves go—if I can do it at age 55 and with a severely damaged shoulder, then anyone can. So, without further ado, here is the DVD:
