Deadlifts and milkshakes

BJJ nogi

More drilling of the double under pass
Stayed for open mat, rolled with a girl that just started. Set up a triangle within the first few seconds when she made the mistake of putting one arm under to pass but couldn't close it up cause of my brittle knees. She passed pretty easily because of that. I took her back but she got me off pretty quickly. She kept going for the keylock because I guess that's the only thing she learned in her free private and she eventually tapped with me it.

I'm not happy that I got tapped by someone who just started but I know that it happens. Goon says my game is too lose and I'm not aggressive enough. I need to work on keeping balanced while keeping tight and working on my god damn keylock defense because beginners always get me in this!!!!

Another thing I'm going to try is figuring out my three best submissions from each position and perfecting them until I am extremely comfortable with them.

Practiced gi chokes/throws after class.
Having a bad jiu jitsu week :icon_neut

Hahahaha. Don't be so jelly, I'm going home this Tuesday and will be taking time off during the break. But I'm actually looking forward to it...I've trained 19 days in a row!
 
BJJ nogi

Drilled same double under passes - far knee over pass, close knee over pass, etc.

Rolling time was cut short because of the extensive drilling time. But it's definitely beneficial, I used this pass multiple times when rolling tonight. Also working the 2 on 1 pass if someone puts a butterfly hook in. I LOVE it.

Might deadlift/bench tomorrow.
 
BJJ gi

3 judo takedowns

Drilled 2 on 1 pass with butterfly hooks. Moving slightly to the right, mule kicking back to get the 2on 1, then sprawling to come around to side control.

We did a new exercise today that I've never done. Two experienced guys go in the middle of the mats and stick their hands in their belt and get butterfly hooks. Then people have to jump in and try to pass.

Rolling:
Rolled with two different guys. One of them was my friend, and he let me take his back a lot and try to choke him. My instructor taught me how to attack the thumb on the hand that your partner is trying to protect.

Other guy is someone who's been giving me a lot of trouble. he's about my size and I really try to put the effort into submitting him. He puts me in all of my weakest positons...in his side mount and being mounted.

Notes: I'm dirt poor right now and really can't even afford food so I'm absolutely drained and exhausted from a poor diet. I'm going home to visit family for a week and hoping I can fatten up!
 
Merry Christmas S&C!

I got a new leather jump rope, top-notch boxing gloves from ringside, boxing wraps and grappling shorts from fightergirls! I'm a happy girl.

Training update:

Thursday BJJ GI, variations of butterfly guard passing
Friday - off
Saturday - Open mat, did some rolling. Learned some new finishes from the single leg takedown, and also spent some time learning a side control escape that didn't come so easily to me.

Sunday - nogi
Drilled a kimura from side control, no rolling. Knees feel brittle.

EDIT: I was pressed for time before so I didn't go into too much detail. Basically I'm going to be taking a break from rolling at jiu jitsu and just going to drill. Both of my knees feel like they are in pretty bad shape + other lingering ailments that deserve some rest as well.

Hurt my shoulder last night from Goon...being a Goon so no pressing today unfortunately :icon_neut Did some random, dumb shit in the gym just to keep myself sane from all this inactivity. Kept deadlifts low because of my knees...gosh I'm falling apart.

Ha...thanks! It's more stupid than impressive. I got seriously burnt out from it and don't recommend it.

BJJ nogi

Watched (same technique as yesterday, side mount kimura to armbar)...foam rolled, stretched, iced.

Anyone have any ideas on how to ice a shoulder? I can't seem to get the iced feeling deep enough to the place where it feels irritated. Right now I'm using a bag of frozen peas and strapping it to my shoulder tightly.
 
Kinda abandoning the log for now. Not too much going on, just rehabbing knees + shoulder + hip lol. Charles has been helping me with some exercises while I wait for PT to start.

Wednesday

Thursday

Fish oil 4 times a day + NSAID after a workout

Notes: It's my New Year's resolution to get my body all healed up before I continue destroying it in jiu jitsu. I'm bored and unhappy but I know that if I want to make jiu jitsu a lifetime dedication, this rehab is completely necessary. Any tips/criticism would be appreciated of course.

A guy at my gym uses a shoulder brace, you could use something of that nature and put an icepack inside of it:

Thanks dude. I actually figured out how to craft a sling out of a scarf and fill it with ice packs.

This had to be one of the most organized workout I've ever had. My pressing is finally passing the stagnant point it's been at for a year now.

Other happy news, I gave my Mom "The Paleo Solution" and she lost 6 lbs in her first week. So proud!
 
Boxing (Monday night) 1 hour

I wish my jiu jitsu came as natural to me as my boxing. I very rarely need to be corrected and just feel very comfortable with it. Unfortunately, I don't see it as ever being useful to me but you never know.

Footwork drills x 5:00
Jab x 3:00
Straight Right x 3:00
Hook x 3:00
Upper cut x 3:00

Today I learned how to react when someone is going for a double jab and getting a set up for a takedown. Block the first jab, then duck down coming around their body.

Push ups/Sit ups for 3:00, alternating every 0:30 sec. Shoulders are shot from doing this right after pressing.

^^These hurt my knees, sticking to planks next time.
 
My knee popped out again. This is the third time it's happened. I was sleeping, woke up to stretch my legs out and POP! I felt extreme pain for about 5 secs and then it subsided.

I have an orthopedic appt. this Thursday to get re-evaluated.

Goals for this log/my training are going to be changing rapidly. No more squatting/deadlifting/BJJ until I feel 100%. AKA I'm about to get really bored/depressed.

Sucks about your knee. I guess it's time to turn into a bench/curl monkey for a while.
