This is a blog that is intended to be a record of my personal training practice and my own fitness regimen. It is an extension of my strengthtospare.com site and just a portion of the wealth of information that will eventually be found there. Here we will follow my daily training and recovery as I develop my body and training thought process in Rego Park Queens under the direction of Coaches Arthur Drechsler and Joe Yu. Thank you for reading.

Training has continued but is increasingly disorganized as I was struggling to start left knee PT(red tape, NYU Langone & insurance) & having contralateral issues in QL + RT shoulder as a result of what I expect is subtle gate and seated compensations. Skipped one each of Tutting, Knife Draws & Hand Hardening.
CUPPING /ACUPUNCTURE 011216 helped some - resulting redness speaking to my blood being "stagnet"
