Thanks buddy

Standard warm up

Back squat-
5 @ 135
3 @ 160
3 @ 185
7 @ 205

Circuit-
5 hang cleans @ 135
10 dl @ 135
15 db swing @ 35
x3, as little rest as possible. Probably took me about 6-10 min to finish the whole thing.

Swam little afterwards

Thoughts-
I'm sick again. I've been coughing up mucus from my lungs that is so green it's almost black. I blame it on that dumb girl who sat next to me last week. Every time she coughed she barely covered up-- I could feel her breath on my face. I didn't even say anything, goddamnit. That's what I get for going to class, I suppose.

Circuit kicked my ass. I thought I was going to throw up or pass out afterward. I remembered I did something like that back in the day, and I remember it really lit up my spinal erectors. Today my glutes and hams were pretty dead.

Right hip flex really tight. Made it really uncomfortable to hit my usual depth today.

Kudos on getting your workout in still man. Sorry to hear about that girl getting you sick. You should of told her to cover her piehole or gave her something to fill it up! lol... but in all honesty that sucks man, hopefully that passes soon. Take it ez and try and stick with it!
 
Wrestling club practice or 1.5 hours

Worked on:
switches- in bottom pos/all fours, cross hand over to other side, knee to knee, sit through, don't sit on hip. Throw elbow up and go around the back or to top position.
take downs- doubles, some singles
learned the stances- forward stance for forward/back. Balanced stance for moving back and forth. Elbows in.
top- one hand on his belly, one hand at his elbow, one knee to his butt, one knee parallel to his. Chop the arm, pull the belly, drive knee into backside, get him on his back
bottom- not too much weight on hands.
half nelson- have the back, feet into the backs of his knees. Use forearm to chop his head down, half nelson, get to side, free hand stops the shrimping leg, cup the head.
throw overs- opponent reaches over when you are sitting down, you grab one side and roll over to take the back/top position.

Then on to Judo club for 3 hours.

Extensive warm up

worked on RNC from opponent in prone position- pull up via belt, sink hooks, choke.

Worked on a turn-over from all fours to a scarf hold- grab cross lapel under his arm, grab cross arm, pull him forward onto his belly, then flip him over. Pressure is put on by staying tight and getting your hip under his shoulder, also pulling his arm up by the shoulder rather than the wrist. Choke available here, kimura, side ctrl, etc.

Turn over from prone all fours- Grab cross lapel and his collar behind his head, pull him down, knee into his back to prevent him from turning in, north south.

Then did some ground work. Tooled a bunch of newbs here.

Then did some standing work. Held my own okay, until I stood with the instructor. Got tooled.

To sum it up-- 5 hours of grappling. Love it.

1.5 hours wrestling

Worked on:
1.) Crossface arm drag to pin. Crossface, pick up ankle, drive.
2.) Crossface, opponent goes to stand, cradle with stood up leg. Sit back and put bottom knee into his back, forhead to his temple, keep pressure.
3.) Crossface (1). Not getting pin, grab tricep with both hands, go around the head, keep pressure on, if the other arm is there, reverse nelson (?)
4.) Fireman's carry. Same side tricep, same side leg, drop down, either dump or flip them.
5.) Single leg. hand on their heel, head on their knee, drive.
6.) Going to turn over opponent- Go under arm, hook their neck, other arm goes around their back and in between leg. Rotate around head. This will turn them over.

Thoughts-

Video huh...I don't think that would make me look very modest when I post videos of myself tooling up a bunch of newbs when I am one myself.

Lifting and grappling-- there is a weekly cap on how much I can do per week. I need to focus on my studies. I'm not about to let my grades dissolve more than they already have. I may lift twice during the week and grapple over the weekend. Probably will want to stay away from judo on Tues. The week is for school work.

what belt are you lei?

i remember i was a brown belt at 17 but then i started smoking pot with my friends at the time like a loser and let things slip away. prob one of my biggest regrets of my lift (tissue for me??) lol. judo is an awesome sport, great exercise too.

where did you learn how to foam roll? got a link or something. turns out my gym has em so i don't even need to go buy one.
 
I love Judo from what little I know about it. One of my favorite sports to catch on the tube.

Foam roller = Monkey F'ing a football (this is in my case anyway)
 
I'm a white belt in both judo and brazilian jiu jitsu, but I have been doing BJJ for a little while, which is why I'm not a total newb to grappling.

Thoughts-

Spent the last two weeks sitting on my ass, studying. Felt extremely good to foam roll after slouching in front of a book for so long.

Was told to take my rings down today. "Liability issues" the girl told me. Will have to figure out a way to use them. Ring work is probably one of my favorite things to do.

I don't believe I can stick to any sort of program. I will now begin to work only for the workout. Meaning, I won't have any solid long term or even short term goals. I still want to get stronger, but with the way my life is shaping up here in school, I'll probably have to look more toward maintenance or just keeping my body from various aches and pains accumulated by sitting down all the damn time.

Tentative goals for each workout may include, but are not limited to:
1.) High volume- just get a lot of work in for one exercise, upper/lower, a focus on one part of the body, etc. Could transition to working on a lift or getting stronger, but honestly I don't think I will keep it frequently enough to be getting any real rewards in that department.
2.) Hitting a fbw- Get all the parts moving, hit the big parts
3.) Conditioning- Complexes, circuits, etc.
4.) Get swole- TEH PUMP
5.) Quick and dirty- get in and get out, do some work, just getting the body moving again

Things to avoid:
1 RM. I learned my lesson last time I lived just for the workout of the moment. Just going to stick to 80-85%.
