My ADD Training Log 2014

[calvus]

On Thursday morning we got up & hiked Koko Crater. It's really cool, can't recommend this enough. The "stairs" are actually left over from a railroad car or tram that went to the top of the crater for a military lookout about 100 years ago. The tram is long gone, so people use this a hiking trail now. There are over 1000 "steps", which are a good bit longer and larger than normal stairs. You go from 0 to over 1000 feet up, with spectacular views.

That's my idea of a good day. Looks beautiful.

Yeah man - it was awesome. Nice workout too. Next trip I'll probably try to hit this twice.

Yep those shoes weren't the smartest purchase. Bright Neon Yellow size 13. Not sure what I was thinking. But I'll keep wearing them until they wear out.

BJJ - 1 Hour nogi

Squeezed in an hour of no-gi jiu-jitsu this morning. Sparred with some really tough guys, 4x5 minute rounds with 1 minute between rounds. Got manhandled by an ex-UFC fighter lol

What's the brand and model.

They're Nike Pegasus 29's. Back in the 80's I had a motorcycle that color...

THROWING

Stones - 12.5#
11x Standing throws, best around 40'

LWFD - 28#
10x Throws, best around 55'

Light Hammer - 16#
5x Winds
5x Throws, best around 73'

Felt good to get out & throw today. Stones felt decent, I've been able to fix some things in my standing throw & it's helping. LWFD was ok, narrowed my feet slightly, which helped me speed up - I think that's going to pay off. Hammers, as usual, sucked. My new hammer boots were rubbing a blister on my heel - I need to wear thick tall socks with them next time. And I really need to focus on hammer - It's been my worst event since I started Highland Games.

I had a pair of Pegasus back in the 80s. My motorcycle was not highlighter yellow though.

I should find & post a pic of the bike.

Left elbow got jacked up at jiu-jitsu Monday so DB Press hurt a little & Triceps extensions were a no-go. Sucks when guys yank submissions in training. Bench felt pretty good though - form was better with each set.

Almost. I'm happy anytime I can bench with no elbow pain. Hopefully I'll be able to build it back up to 300-ish in 2015.

Biked to & from the gym, total about 4 miles round trip. Tough workout today, but I got through it.

You rolling a carbon fiber super bike for those 4 miles?

I've got about a 10 year old Trek. It gets the job done.

BJJ - 1 Hour

Worked some options from butterfly to enter X-guard & then some sweeps from there depending on how the opponent reacts. Good stuff - should have tried to work it into rolling later, but for whatever reason didn't. Rolled decent today, used some things I've been working on to pass open guard, also still working on basic collar chokes, just tweaking details. It's coming together...

Tiring. But I got it done. Squats were harder than they should have been, but I did this maybe 3 hours after jiu-jitsu, so I didn't expect it to be easy.
