Woke up after a deep sleep, tottered around the house for a bit and then moped it down to the Budokan. Got caught in a little rain, but nothing major.
Warm up:
Deep squat held for 1.15
20 minutes of stretching

Back felt a little unhappy so put on a weight belt
190k x 1, 200k x 1, 205k x 1!
Oh yeah, more than double body weight lift! Could possibly have gone higher, but thought it best to quit whilst I was ahead.

Indy bench, 2x 20k: 8, 10, 10
Military press, 2 x 20k: 6, 6, 6
Finished with deserved time on the vibro machine
Then lunch at Kamefuku with James. Then we concreted in some of the holes in his drive. Bit of a bitch mixing cement with a very tired back, but there we go.
Then nap, dinner and of to Karate. Now know my kata for my next grading, which is good. Practised that and then practised bunkai, which are attacks from other people and you use the kata to deal with it. Afterwards, Arakaki Sensei had a chat to me about it: there's "Formal Bunkai" and "Informal Bunkai". The formal stuff is the stuff for schols, for kids. Blocks and return strikes, stuff where you are unlikely to damage your opponent severely. This is stuff developed when Karate was brought into the school system; watered down karate. The informal stuff is the old stuff, the ichi geki stuff, ichi geki meaning "One strike, finish". One punch win stuff. He showed me two of the bunkai and, yeah, far more deadly, far more effective. Very interesting, like being shown into a hidden garden.
Anyway, bed now, tomorrow more training!
