I did.

Good post Doug. I read it all. Still have to think about it.
-
I also find that DDP Yoga complements Skogg in that DDP Yoga focuses a lot on isometrics and slow twitch muscles and Skogg with it's ballistic movements focuses on fast twitch
And to be honest, if I wanted to keep it simple, it would be the two DVD systems, a yoga mat, and a 25lb kettle bell

(at one point in my life, I had a 405lb bench press, a 455 deadlift, and a 525lb squat)
How did you ever fit into any Iron Heart?! Beast!
Anyway, great post - really caught my eye - I mostly lift weights (and can barely squeeze my chest into XXL shirts ugh!) and have been looking to mix in some alternative exercises to balance out/cut down some - will look into those suggestions - much appreciated!

I didn't have as much mass or lift as much when I got into IH. I was also taking a shit ton of supplements, which I stopped awhile ago
For awhile, I didn't have a neck…

joe if youre not into traditional cardio routines try out kickboxing or boxing
i started training muay thai 5 months ago cause regular work out programs werent something i was into and i was always into martial arts just never did them
love it
love it so much i now go to the regular gym as well, at least 4 times a weekI started Muay Thai last year and am totally hooked. I imagine that like anything else it depends on your trainer. I lucked out in that regard. Best workout I've had.

I've met Doug. It's a completely believable statement.
Might be a good idea not to insult people you don't know, too.
-
No one is insulting anyone here, try not to use the wrong words, yes. Besides I can't talk I'm busy workin' out here http://i.imgur.com/KG1yh.jpg, I suggest you get out of this thread unless you are doing the same.

I am a father of two sons and a very demanding wife and 'mellowing out' is not something I can do, it is also a quality that smacks of pot another thing i despise along with blowing my own trumpet and 450 pound squats. But this does not mean I do not have love for you and your toy cop ways nor doug and his once awesome neck and thus shall bid you goodnight. Keep it straight ahead.

I don't post very often, when I do, I try to make sure it's of value. Take it or leave it
Hi Doug, I greatly appreciate your long and detailed post. I've read it in it's entireity twice, and have terms to search for local sellers of KB's.
Funnily enough I have found yoga exacerbating a lingering shoulder injury I have. Almost like it's double jointed and I've been unable to develop the muscles to keep the ball in it's socket. Most twists would pull it out, but worst of all, no matter what, downward facing dog would kill me. I'd practiced Yoga for 3 years and was okay with head and shoulder stands, but after taking a break the injury kicked in/flared up (lost the muscle) and Yoga was unable to fix…Cross fit is $200/month here, and far less appealing than working out in my own house, especially since I work from home.
Essentially, thank you again Doug, I will be getting started on this hopefully before the new year (can't stand NY resolutions, personally, but they work for many, and power to those ;)).
