I'm really sore and stiff after the last two days of training. Didn't feel like lifting at all, but I knew I'd feel better after, which I did.

Lifting today felt less like progress and more like body maintenance and care. Feels good to get stretched and move around. I did fewer reps on my amrap than I did at the same weight 5 months ago, but I'm ok with it. Lifting has a different place in my priorities, but it's still crucial to keeping me healthy and able to perform on the mats.

4 months late but I just saw this.

Home gym, 135lbs db are standard

Get on my level

But seriously lol. I can't even imagine what a db that big would look like. Thanks to my typo, I'm now going to Google 135lbs db

Edit : wow, so like, that's a thing. Some people are beasts

Ya, usually they're plate loaded DBs that go that high.

2.75 hours at the gym

Did a basic MT class, drilled catch and return combos and such, core excercises to end class (leg raises, toe touches, v ups, scissors, etc. Blech)

Bjj class and rolling

Drilled arm pin passing, countering the arm pin to battle guard, inside out guard defense against double unders

Lots of rounds rolling, got pushed a bit tonight and it was good, great class
 
8/6/22

1.5 hours open mat

Good rolling, good group, lots of good roll

Shittily, another black belt my size who I really like rolling with separated his shoulder rolling for a back take. Sucks to see, he's gonna be out for a while, hopefully he recovers well. He and I have been talking lifting, he's younger and about 235, and I know he was close to some goals he was excited about. I feel bad for him, but that's the life we live.

I was distracted and loaded the wrong weight for warm ups lol. Did 305 thinking it was 285, and was like ,"wtf, this feels heavier than it should"

Cut it short today, low on time and my body is tired. But as always, feels good to have lifted at least something

First lift in a month, didn't program, just put up weight.

I'm thinking about doing some bjj competition in Oct and Dec, so I'll probably significantly scale back my lifting. Gas in the tank will be my primary concern if I compete, and by old broken body can only handle so much. I may be doing 5 days a week bjj/thai boxing, in which case I won't update this. Or maybe I will.

Trained 4 days this week, feel good, timing and gas are getting back line.

I have just been doing bjj and mt lately, 4-5 days a week.

I signed up for a competition in December so I guess I should put out some effort to prepare. I'm going to lift just to complement training.

I'll probably come up with some kind of program, but today is just about getting under weight. I'm registered in the 208 and under division, which I've always done well in, but been undersized. So, can't hurt to lift.

Alright, so I got Covid, then the flu, so I've been down quite a bit. Did about a week of bjj, but then the flu hit after Covid and I've been out of commission.

Finally feeling decent, so I'm going to lift today and get back on the mats tomorrow
