Been off golf lately doing P90X... sucks, but I felt like improving my fitness. Hate to say it, but I think I'm taking a break from golf for a bit. I played today and played well, which was great, but jeez, I just have this itch to do an intense round of P90X. It's hard for me to do both because my joints don't like me when I do...

Stinks but I may be taking a hiatus for the sake of improving my health and well-being. P90X has been a lot of fun though, don't get me wrong. Great program. This will be my third round (did two rounds in 2010).

So, the past few weeks I've been doing the following:

5AM: normal weighs/abs/cardio workout (typically 1-2 miles on the treadmill).

4-5PM: sprint/cardio outdoors on a dirt track in 90-105 degree weather.

6-8PM (or so): 50-100 golf balls at the driving range.

I've been doing all three about 4 times per week.  I only plan on doing this a few more weeks or as long as my body feels capable.  Today on the track I plan on running four 400s in roughly 70 seconds each.  Other days I've done 100s (10), 200s (8) or a mixture of sprints (2x400s + 4x200s).

When I left for Vegas last weekend I was 168.8 lbs, which is the lightest I've been since I had a workout for the San Jose Sabercats coaching staff.

Did Legs and Back, ARX, then some creatine post-workout yesterday evening. Sore today.

Feeling stronger though. I've lost 4.5 pounds in 8 days eating at about 2000-2400 calories per day. No cheating. Only healthy choices.

So far so good with my plan. Heading to the fish market now before it closes.

today was an off day for me as I have a work deadline tomorrow (er, end of day today) and am pulling an 'almost' allnighter.

I've been doing a mix of exercises beginning two weeks ago. The daily routine translates to about 45-60 minutes.  Mix of cardio, strength (free weights and isometrics), aerobics and yoga; every muscle group is being targeted.  I'm more or less refining a routine as I go along.

It's going to be uphill for awhile due to inactivity the last 3 years that ending with a wicked illness that doctors finally determined was a probable viral infection last winter through spring - it was a wake-up call kick in the pants From spring until recently though there has been lots of walking - about all I could do for awhile. EDIT: and diet.  I've given up all fast food, soda and sugars, and for the last 3 months trying to be a vegetarian.  I will occasionally eat fish or poultry on the weekend.  Can't believe how much my tastes have changed

switching from right to lefty so: 

tinkering with a plethora of equipment and brands; I now feel like its all about mechanics and less equipment- stay tuned

Arms and Shoulders, ARX, creatine, dextrose, then sitting on my ass eating food that's good for me but doesn't taste good. Weeeeeeeeeee.

Fought a bought of food poisoning over the weekend, so had to take it easy.  Monday did some light back work, Tuesday felt a little better and did some leg power exercises.  Superset front squats with 225 + 150lb goblet squats.  Felt like throwing up a bit and kind of got light-headed.  Didn't bring a change of shorts, so I had to back off.  Way too soon...

I assume those exercises are split up between those three days?

I was just curious.  I know some people like the full body circuits and I wanted to see how your recovery was doing that with little rest days in between.  I see guys at my gym week in and week out doing the exact same work every time they are in there.

When I started working out again after injuries I tried the full body thing 3 times a week but found that I didn't like it.  Instead of being sore in one place for a day or two i was sore all over.  Needless to say that was bad!  So doing a split helps, and also the Tae Bo really stretches me out so I'm not stiff.  I used to be a powerlifter and pushing up huge weight was great when I waqs younger but now not so great.  i also think doing a powerlifters split for so long got me into the habit of doing a split lifting routine.  Plus, the day recovery time in between workouts is perfect since i don't lift nearly as heavy as i used to.

    • It's true that it is not always clear where to draw the line of "significant". But I would argue that saving half a stroke or more is definitely more than significant. According to the common meaning of "significant", which is all we have because the word is not defined elsewhere in the rules.  This is irrespective of the two stroke penalty for playing from a wrong place. That penalty is only for when there was no significant advantage.  And it is possible to tell to some certainty whether a stroke or half a stroke was saved by such tools as strokes-gained, experience of officials, etc. Applying the conditions listed in the definition of serious breach.  In the example in which a player gave themselves free relief from a boundary object, if relief was necessary, then that wrong place gave a significant advantage.  Though apparently there is some sort of verbal tradition that tournament officials have a higher standard of what they consider "significant". Much higher than one stroke. And they like to take into account that the player already received a two-stroke penalty, though that is not in the rules for determining what is a "significant advantage".  
    • Until I can find some positive things to post about my swing I think it’s about time to… 
    • How would you change the rule to make it more "fair", and still be consistently interpreted and enforced?  It may not be perfect, but as a referee I can watch a player and look at the ground surface and make a ruling.  How can it be changed to address different players and their individual height, weight, and shoe size?
    • A bit old.. but this rule is kind of unfair ...  Lets say that you have Emiliano Grillo and Darren Clark playing together on a PGA event and on one hole both hit the ball to the middle of the fairway only 1 inch apart. When they arrive to the ball Darren take his stand and water comes out from the ground and remains there so he procceds take a free drop on a dry area and hit his shot.  Afterwards Grillo takes his stance in the same spot as Clark, but because he is a lot ligther, no water araise from the ground. According to the rules he is not allowed a free drop from the same spot darren had a free drop seconds before. I would love to see this happenning live on TV. Can an argument be made by grillo? could and official use the "spirit of the rule" to let him have a free drop?
