Still making with the upper-body workout before my morning cappucino. I’m up to 50 reps on many of the exercises now, and in particular I’m now finishing up with 120 full-speed karate punches in one minute, still with the 3lb hand weights. I think I need to switch to heavier hand weights. 5lb should be about right for now.

(Mr. Sandoval was one of the instructors at the bok-fu dojo I used to study at. He was Samoan, and used to punch through five concrete blocks back-to-back. Well, actually, I take that back: he didn’t so much punch through as just sort of casually push his hand through them.)
