Wave loading is definitely an incredible lifting method...my legs are so sore and tight right now, I can't remember the last time that my legs felt like this (it was probably the last time I did wave loaded squats!). Exam time tonight, and then heading home...only to sit down to work on my lab report. I'm glad I got into the gym this morning. I would have been feeling like crap tomorrow morning if I hadn't.
It's going to be an interminably busy day tomorrow, working on the lab report during every free moment I have in the hopes of getting it done properly and on time.
Tomorrow, I think, I'll take some time between two classes to do some work on kata. I'm getting particularly frustrated with Kanku-sho and Gankaku. The issue in Kanku-sho is the small hip action at the very beginning of the kata with the soto uke after the first two oi-zuki. It's so minor, but always seems to set the tone for the rest of the kata. With Gankaku, as it always is, my issue is balance. So tomorrow, assuming I get the chance/time, I think it's going to be a question of working on my balance as well as hip vibration and rotation. It will be good to finally get Gankaku nailed down for competition use.
Thursday, again assuming there will be time, will be a kumite session with one of my friends from the JKA. It's definitely going to be a day to work on my kicking techniques, in conjunction with zoning. I can make zone blocking work for me to a certain degree with my hands only, but it's a foreign language when I try to add in kicks; so we'll see how it works out. I just want to be able to hit like this guy:
Anyway, back to the books, wish me luck!
