MuayThai Pad Training

1-2PM (1 hour)

Notes

Neck thickness is 18" in diameter when pumped (up from 17" non-pumped). Looks pretty damn cool, especially when I'm standing beside someone who has a huge upper body and a skinny pencil neck
I finally deciphered what my Muay Thai coach is saying.He's always saying "Heep! Tweet!"I've always thought he was shouting something in Thai, but actually he was saying "Hip Twist" instructing me to twist my hips during the kick lol.

Muay Thai Pad Training

2-3PM (1 hour)

Had to tape up the ball of my left foot because a flap of skin had ripped open during the last session.

Both of my big toes were taped as well since I already developed a blood blister on my right toe, and didn't want any blisters on my left.

The tape can get distracting after a while since it starts rolling out of place and making my feet stick to the ground (as you can see after the 2nd kick).
