Well, I have gotten settled (to an extent) into the new job and have gotten a bit of a routine going to get back to the gym. I started my workouts again last week and decided to try something new on Friday. I went to a "power Yoga" class and while it was a bit awkward getting started I found some muscles that apparently I never realized that I had. I thought that I was in pretty decent shape but by the end of that hour I was thinking that I may need to hit the gym even harder. I think that alot of it was the fact that you hold the positions for so long. I can do the "wall sit" for about 61/2 minutes but holding some of those yoga moves really had some muscles shaking.
I don’t know how long I will keep it up but it does seem like it will help with my flexibity which is rather poor so I will give it a try for a few weeks and see any improvements. I have been improving on my pullups which has always been a bane of mine, I managed 3sets of 7/7/5. I have got to concentrate more on using the proper technique, since I have been paying more attention to using my Lats the count has gone up steadily.

Thanks for your comment on my blog! Yoga… that’s awesome. Yoga and stretching of EVERY kind is what keeps your muscles YOUNG!!!
Proud of you for going! Is YOGA becoming popular in the ‘world of guys’? It needs to! 
I like to describe it like this… ever try to stretch a rubber band that’s been in that junk drawer for YEARS??? Know how it just sort of breaks and powders up in a very very sad way? Yep, muscles without stretches. Not a good thing!
