I'm going to try to do more 'writing' this week, rather than just record keeping. It's been an emotional month. First I found out that my wife was pregnant, then two weeks later, we thought she miscarried, then two weeks after that, we found out that she didn't miscarry, and was(is) still pregnant. Then my mentor and friend Paul Gomez passed away unexpectedly. On top of that all, it was also my friend's birthday, then my wives parents birthday, mothers day, soon father's day. So my (selfish) excuses have been piling up. It's hard to keep motivated, but I know the day is coming when I can't train regularly, so I keep pushing.
So all that led to celebratory eating, emotional eating, drinking, staying up too late, and all sorts of dampers on my mental game. There were days that I wanted to just quit everything. I find myself losing interest in shooting in recent weeks. I don't know why I'm losing interest in that, I think it's just because I haven't gone to shoot for fun in so long. I need to go do an IDPA match soon. Relight that fire a bit.
AM weight - 189 (!!!)
Post MT weight 185 My diet has been shit for the last two months. It was a slow gain back to 185ish, but I know there's a few lbs of fat in there. I'm going to do some subtle meal composition tweaks in addition to IF to try to bring it back in range.
MT: jump rope 3 rounds 20pushups/squats between, check to knees around the gym
1,2, lk, lk, block w/ left, step, 2x right knees
1,2,3, rk, rk, block w/ right, step 2x lft knees
mitts:
1, 2, slip, 6,7,3, 6, 7
sparring: positional sparring, boxing and clinch range only. AWESOME. I suck at this, and need tons of work on the entry, and on the clinch itself. I asked Anthony if we could work it, and he said he would work us in.
BJJ: Bump sweep- bump, trap arm/ trap same leg, bump again.
armbar from mount (Rickson armbar) - put pressure, as guy pushes off, plant one hand around arm and other hand inside. put weight into hands and lift hips. swing leg around and finish
variation - go inside w/ throat pressure, as he resists and reaches for the defense, plant other hand, spin, and finish.
choke from side control - as he pressures w/ hand on your throat, get lapel out, feed to headhold hand, pop to knee on belly, reach w/ other hand inside (palm up), turn hand over and down, while lifting w/ headhold hand, and go to N/S to finish.
Rolling was good, the guys who have recently arrived are easy to sweep and choke. B. and JR. are my only skilled opponents now, but luckily, I think they're both better than me. That's my gain.
MT:
Warmup was beast. 3m round rope, 20/20, x3 rounds. Combos for one round, yellow sash 1 and 2, second Combos, block, knee, block step knee.
Same combos as monday. on pads and mitts
sparring
abs; vertical scissors, out and up, situps, crunches, squat hop thingies.
BJJ:
cross collar chokes. small finger sleeve grips. trap arm between leg and with a tight grip, then reach across with other arm for deep cross lapel hold, switch hips, use same leg as the arm that's gripping to climb back and offbalance to get angle for other grip. Can grab a bunch of fabric, and finish. OR you can slide thumb under lapel, and finish.
scissor sweep. same grips as before, cross collar and sleeve, escape hips, and either use shin across belly, or swing leg over while chopping base on far side. or the stomp the knee variation.
