BJJ - 2 Hours

Great training tonight! 1 Hours Advanced class + 1 Hour sparring. In class we worked on a 1 arm hip toss, and then from the guard worked on a dual attack from mount. Work for choke & depending on opponents reaction, either finish the choke or armbar. Nice detail for me is getting the knee up behind the shoulder when the guy bridges.

When sparring I rolled with a black belt twice, 1 purple belt twice, another purple belt once & a couple of blue belts. Each round was 6-7 minutes, short breaks (1-2 minutes). I did well & more importantly, really felt like my game made some big improvements. I was more relaxed, got my hands in better positions, got out of bad positions, did small things to control my opponents, etc...lots of improvements tonight all of a sudden. Both instructors commented to me that my jiu-jitsu looked much improved tonight, so that made me feel better. I'm exhausted....but it was a great night!

2x300 <-- Rep PR!!
2x300
1x310 <-- PR!!!
1x315 <-- Big PR!!!!

I was surprised I got 2x300, then surprised I got it again. After all of the volume, I didn't expect to get 310, but it was quick & easy. So I decided to go off the reservation & try 315. After hitting 315, I was too stoked to complete the workout, so no assistance work today.

Video will be posted shortly.

You slowed down so much in the middle- way to tough it out! A well-deserved "woo!".

But why the hood? Does California suffer from indoor horizontal rainfall?

Thanks Jaunty - I just didn't like the way the hood felt bunched up behind my neck. And I liked the way the sweatshirt kept me nice & toasty warm

Don't argue with a three-plate bench, Jaunty. He could have worn the hood backwards and still been beyond reproach.

Thanks guys!

And yep, I think I have more, especially because of the amount of heavy volume close to my max that I did before this attempt. I'm deloading next week before the Queen Mary Scottish Festival, then I'll test my max on 2/22.
