I am not sure the exact date, as I can't find the old post, but around this time five years ago I logged onto this forum for the first time. I had just discovered bodyweight exercises and came across Harry Wong's Dynamic Tension book. I asked John a questions about the safety of these types of exercises relative to high blood pressure which was a concern of mine. He answered them and I went on to purchase PYTP and IPR. We spoke at some point and needless to say I came away with the impression John is an honest guy who sticks to his principals and is out to help people get in shape.
I have done a mix of BWE, ISO and DVR on and off since them. At the end of 07 I suffered a pinched nerve which could be the result of weights, pull ups or too much racquetball, squash or tennis. Three months or recovery finally allowed me to raise my arm over my head and move pain free.
After switching jobs and being away from the forum, I am finally returning to the racquetball courts, but find myself out of shape. I am committed to returning to good shape and after reviewing my old training logs, found my most enjoyable and effective workout was what I called the Tiger moves plus five. The five Tiger moves plus the atlas flex and press, standing hamstring curl, one legged calf raise, liederman press and wrist rolls. This is done after a joint mobility routine. I plan to return to this routine three days a week and incorporate some running and racquetball.
As I review the forum It is great to see some of the old names and it saddens me to see that other who had contributed in the past are no longer with the forum either due to banning or moving on. Yet, what works stands whether one or everyone believes it.
Thanks for reading
