A little over an hour of MMA sparring with the neighbor; non consecutive, as I prolly took a total of 15 minutes or so to stop my nose from bleeding, as it restarted a few times after I thought I had it stopped.


Bridges
Stretches


Notes:
- First set of push-ups, the plate fell off my back at rep 6 and had to be reset
- Must not have rested enough between sets 1 and 2
- Collin did something karate black belts haven’t: kicked me flush in the head.
 
quick fix to a nose bleed is Afrin

Never heard of that... Normally I just pinch the side of the bridge of the nose for a couple minutes, check to see if it's done, and repeat as necessary. Usually works pretty good... Didn't help that Collin tapped my nose a couple times soon after we'd restart, making the bleeding restart... Sniffing ammonia fumes seemed to help...
 
the afrin functions to reduce the size of the vessels in your nose. Its a cornerman's trick when you can't get topical adreniline. It actaully works just as well. If your prone to bleeding you can even spray before you play.
 
Hmm. May have to try that, although I wish I'd heard of it a couple years ago. I haven't been as prone to 'em now as I used to be. Thanks for the tip, though. Reducing the size of the vessels was why I sniffed ammonia while it was bleeding...

Some leg stretches


Notes:
I hate lifting in the morning. I was mentally defeated before I started my first set, so I had to punish myself for not hitting 20... Also was a bit pressed for time.
 
Saturday 6/26:
I was at a campground w/o weights but did some jogging and sprints with my fiancee (not quite all out sprints for me), as well as 3 supersets of BW squats, pull-ups, and push-ups.

Notes:
- I'm weak with no endurance.... :-/
- Could've done more on 250, but legs were crap. I think I'm done on 20 reps squats... I guess I'll test rep maxes this weekend and then go back to 5/3/1.

some Karate line drills


Notes:
- 205 felt heavy this morning... Had a good pre-bed meal... So not sure what happened... I think I'm definitely done with 20 rep squats as a program now, although I think I may deload the weight and do a set for assistance after my 5/3/1 squats... Will test rep maxes sometime and get back on that next week I think...

~25 minutes of Chi Kung


Notes:
- Decided to up my food intake, despite heat and stress killing my hunger, and keep on 20 rep squats for a lil longer yet.
- On my first set of push-ups with the quarter on my head and traps it slide further down to my lower back each rep... 2nd set I put a towel over my head and neck and upper back first and that helped.
- Haven't been doing nothing since my last logged workout. I've done a couple of The Pit workouts, but haven't made it all the way through and therefore didn't feel it worthy of being logged. Trying to work on endurance and conditioning more.
 
stress will kill your drive to workout. however sometimes the best cure for stress is to workout.
 
Usually, stress gives me motivation to workout. A few times lately though, as you can see by my log, I've been motivated to workout, but I'd just get partway into my sets and hit a wall. Like 5 reps on something I know I should be able to do for 20. That's why I think it's had more to do with food... Strange sleep schedule and stress not doing well for my sleep may have had an affect, though, as well.

Yesterday - ~1/2 of The Pit upper body workout
Today - ~1/2 of The Pit lower body workout

Plan is to do 20 rep squats with 250lbs on Thursday. With doing a ton of push-ups in The Pit upper and full body workouts, I'm gonna switch my post-squat supersets to all SOHP and leave out the ring pushups... Actually, I think I may start doing some of the pushups for The Pit workouts on my rings...

Update:
Haven't done too much of anything the last couple weeks, aside from a few sets of BW squats and push-ups. Had a trip to IN for my cousin's wedding. Got back from that and had some serious stomach pains a couple days of the next week, bad enough my folks and fiancee took me to the ER. They run some tests and did a CT scan, but couldn't find a cause. Said it's a fairly common occurrence, people coming in with severe stomach pains and then never having the problem again. Fiancee had similar the next day as I was getting better, and we're guessing both were mainly caused by stress.

Since then I been feeling better, but doing a lot of running trying to get stuff ready for the wedding and moving to TN, including a trip to TN. Once we get moved, at least at first, my main workouts will be BW stuff and unilateral DB stuff, 'cause the only thing I'll be able to fit in the apt is DB handles, and the fitness center at the apt is just a cable tower and cardio stuff.
