nice work, your new to the journals?

What type of karate do you do?

Hi disturbed, I've been posting for a few months. Trying to be more regular about it though.

I train in Gosoku-ryu karate.

I had one of the trainers at the gym check my form on the 225lbs squats. His comments were that I tended to go up on my toes momentarily on my way up; other than that my back stayed straight and my depth was good, according to him.

[Disturbed]

nice, karate sounds fun. I basically just do gym and boxin but would love to learn locks and defensive moves.

Did a karate workout this evening.

Hi Disturbed- Boxing is great! Locks and defensive movements vary from style to style in martial arts; the system I train in doesn't really do a whole lot of locks though.

[Disturbed]

oh ok sounds good though

[TomG]

The squats don't sound too bad then. Going on the toes isn't a good sign. It can put too much on the knees and the shift could get to your back. It's fixable - just sit back, sink into your heels and then drive the heels through the floor. I sometimes raise my toes to keep my weight in the back of the foot.

TomG- I didn't even realize I was going on my toes. The trainer said that it was for a quick second after I had gotten past parallel; perhaps a quick cheat I used to get a little more explosion.
