Double Bass Cleveland Orchestra Warmups

I used to take lessons from Sara Wood (a close friend of Gary Karr) and I got some of these about 16 years ago, absolutely brutal!!! Gary had a set of warm ups that if done in its entirety would cover all the left hand and bowing situations you would ever need. BRUTAL BRUTAL!!!!!!!!

Have I mentioned that they are brutal?
 
Is there any chance someone could email me the exercises from the original post please? (Pwassy(at)gmail.com) I'm currently in a transition between teachers, and hope to be working with Todd Seeber soon, but in the mean time, I'm looking for some thorough exercises and from the sound of it these seem right.

Thanks!
Patrick
 
I have scanned the sheets to PDF format and have put them on my website. I haven't had a chance to contact Max, but I'm assuming it's ok to post these sheets, as he handed them out at the masterclass.
You can download the PDF files here:
