Some more of my collected notes from the training log of Eddie Kowacz, the Green Ghost. His wish is that all his data and training advice is for FREE. Below is from his training journal. It is an upper-lower split. If you are unfamiliar with this former Marine and SWAT operative, the time frame of this training was after 12 knee operations and before total knee replacement. Sports, 40 years of martial arts and managing violence as a correction officer took a toll on his knee. The point is,.. it didn’t stop him from training,…. hard.
