Charles Poliquin, legendary strength coach, wrote one of my favourite articles on training, entitled, “The Super-Accumulation Program: Overtrain, Rest and Grow!” Poliquin believes that by brutally overtraining, until your numbers actually go 20% to 40% in reverse, you can achieve spectacular gains after full recovery. I personally had the experience of being trained into the ground in The Netherlands; before that, I would have thought training that way was just crazy.
![The Killer Inside Me [DVD]](https://i0.wp.com/img.hotmoviesale.com/dvds/MPI-DIFC9757D/1/The-Killer-Inside-Me.jpg)
I went and saw the film The Killer Inside Me’ during the week. It had received a very good review in The Age and, being one of those people who struggles to make up his own mind, I took that as a good enough reason to go see the film. I think I was also curious about the fact that it was an ‘old’ novel; set in the USA of the nineteen-fifties. It’s not often you a see a period-piece of this nature. Continue reading

“Each of us has his cowardice. Each of us is afraid to lose, afraid to die. But hanging back is the way to remain a coward for life. The Way to find courage is to seek it on the field of conflict.”
~Mas Oyama~
Peter Graham was big as a teenager, but not the biggest. He was also tall, but not the tallest. In fact, other than some experience playing Rugby League as a kid growing up on the North Shore of Sydney, he’d done very little in the way of athletics by the age of eighteen.
There was no history of outstanding sporting performance to let anyone, much less the young Peter Graham, know exactly what was in store when he finally walked into the Kyokushin Karate dojo near his home. Continue reading
I finished reading My Sister’s Keeper this evening, and am now lounging about my apartment in Surfer’s Paradise, feeling a little hollow. This is because it was a VERY GOOD BOOK. It is not the sort of thing I would pick up of my own accord necessarily, but reading habits are often informed by the people we know.

The conference room of the ANA Intercontinental Hotel in Ginza, Tokyo, contained every GP champion since the sport’s inception, save Mark Hunt. Ernesto Hoost cut a familiar figure, now trainer for the much-hyped-but-yet-to-deliver-in-K1 Tyrone Spong. Branko Cicatic, the winner of the first K1 GP was also present, attending as trainer and consultant to Peter Aerts. Continue reading
