- Dang!  Just wanted to see if I could. Could I? Yes. Did I? Yes. Should I?  Probably not again for a little while.  This really tested my grip!

Leveled up three times this month, but these are far from "owned".  I need to spend some time at this level focusing on the details.  I guess they call that "practicing".

October 2014

Attempting to get back on track I am using Pavel's Simple and Sinister program.

Breaking in slowly I started with swings.  I used a grease the grove method - 20 swings every half our or so.  This is a great way to focus on the strength of the move as well as breaking out of the inertial rut I've been in.
