BJJ.

This class focussed on defending when the opponent has taken your back and is trying to Choke or Armbar you. The objective is to regain Half-Guard at least or, even better, turn the tables and take the opponent's back.

Finished with Positional Rolling; basically practicing the techniques we'd been taught, but against a resisting partner. Good class.

Two years ago today, I started started training, after eight months of recovery from chemo and surgery. In some ways, it's been a frustrating time. I haven't progressed as quickly as I'd liked to have. I've had setbacks due to injury. But at least I'm back Lifting and practicing BJJ, even if I can't perform at the level I'd like to.

A lot of people aren't as lucky as I am, so fuck self-pity. Every day, every workout, is a gift I will not take for granted. I won't let myself forget that.

First time I've done any running in almost three years. So I took these very easy indeed. I don't know the hill's exact grade, but it's steep enough to make me work hard.

When you tug on it 5 times a day, you wear yourself out!

Bro! I told you that in strictest confidence. Not cool!

Well, I'm back. Just.

After eight months of Chemotherapy, major surgery and recovery, I've finally been given the green light to start training again. Lightly. Very lightly. Over the last eight months, I've lost at least twenty pounds. Any muscle mass I had managed to build up has long since atrophied. To the point where I can just barely bench an empty Olympic barbell(20kg). For a single rep

It's going to take a long ass time before I can even see Strong on the horizon. But at least I'm back in the game. If the price of being able to train safely is using weights I wouldn't even have considered to be a warm-up last year, I'll gladly pay it.

Wish me luck, Brothers of the Iron!

Yeah, it's a good program. Smith is a beast. Competes in BJJ as an Ultra-Heavy.
