I know that some use a rope or chain to turn the windmill into a closed-chain move,but the heavy(gray)
thera-band has some"give",which jacks up the neuro component to "11".
Observe the difference in the RIGHT ARM.
5 months after rotator cuff surgery,lovely Iris,who broke that arm as a kid,cannot fully extend(2nd part of video),,,but we add the connecting band,and it's a whole 'nother story..

Act your (FITNESS) age!! and hello again,MAYDAY!!
Guys,it's been a while-i wanted to relate what i felt the other night while watching this big Aussie kid on Letterman:Chris Hemsworth played Capt.JT Kirk in the Star Trek reboot..then got the gig as THOR....
What a fitness transformation:......
![]() |
| AFTER |

| BEFORE |
I thought:"how cool--ill whip MY butt into shape in time for that flick's opening..and blah blah....
Well 1 torn hip labrum and some real-life angst later--didn't happen!!
..anyway,on Letterman,he reveals that he's all of 27 years old..
or...HALF my age...which in turn gets me thinking...
"if i'm old enough to be his FATHER...who played his father in the movie?""
![]() |
| yeah,Anthony Hopkins.... |
The whole point being
.all is relative--by being as realistic as possible,i was able to tailor MY training to get to my rehab goals,as well as my fitness goals.
At the gym,we use a scale device which "gives" you your BF%,etc. and your "AGE",fitness-wise.....the day before yesterday,i was 7 years "younger" than my birth certificate!!
Happy to be in the skin i'm in,

..be WATER,my friend
I lifted this whole from
"Begin to dig",a great place for GS and KB
opinions and inspiration:
In his book, 'Zen in the Martial Arts,' (1979) Joe Hyams recounts the story of his first meeting with Bruce Lee. Now, I apologize for using a figure that is arguably the most overused in advertising products for strength, power, and personal development, but the lesson described here undoubtedly applies:
"Do you realize you will have to unlearn all you have learned and start over again?"
"No," I said. Bruce smiled and placed his hand lightly on my shoulder. "Let me tell you a story my sifu told me," he said. "It is about a Japanese Zen master who received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
It was obvious to the master from the start of the conversation that the professor was not so much interested in learning about Zen as he was in impressing the master with his opinions and knowledge. The master listened patiently and finally suggested they have tea. The master poured the visitor's cup full and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the cup overflowing until he could no longer restrain himself. 'The cup is overfull, no more will go in!'
'Like this cup,' the master said, 'you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?'
Bruce studied my face. "You understand the point?"
"Yes," I said. "You want me to empty my mind of past knowledge and old habits so that I will be open to new learning."
"Precisely," said Bruce. "And now you are ready to begin your first lesson."
