Week of 7/9/12

I took last week off due to a summer chest/head cold. I was feeling better and probably could have worked out last friday, but decided to force myself to rest. On saturday, I took J. to run at Juhan Road park. after a 40 minute trail run, we did 100 pushups, 100 body weight squats, and 100 vertical scissors.

Monday: AM WEIGHT 192.4! This is the heaviest I've been in probably a year. This is to be blamed on my knack for power eating when I can't train and am kept from working out. My biggest problem is that I have an 'all or nothing' attitude when I'm training. When I can train, my diet adherence is very good. but a day I'm not training, and watch out. Booze, Fried foods, lots of volumes of both. It's pretty bad.

I'm going to change my diet starting this week to more of a 4 hour body (slow carb) diet, with the only simple carbs being consumed after training. I also will do 2-3 fasts a week, lunch to lunch.

MT: Drilled basic combos with a kick evasion at the end.
1,2,2x lk, check, evade, 2x rk
same on other side

mitts: 1, 2, slip 2, 3, 2, step 2.
mirror for other side.

Drilling: I'm stoked Anthony is letting us work some 'positional drilling'
round 1, one guy offense, other guy teeps and jabs

round 2 boxing and clinch(knees)

round 3 free spar

Tuesday:
BJJ
started w/ judo basics! W00t! We practiced sleeve and collar control and popping the sleeve and collar away while penetrating with the body and kicking the sleeve controlling side's leg across (setting up a trip)

foot work for hip throw: right leg lead, step right leg forward and cant it slightly inward, step left leg to the right of that leg while rotating hips, end up with feet square, level changed and facing the other way. This works off of an underhook on the same side as the forward leg.

we also tried a fancy hop back, then enter the same footwork as above. It's like dancing, and I need a lot of practice

omaplatas

Then we worked kimura, hip bump, and back take from the closed guard.

I almost quit bjj last night for good. I'm inside my own head about getting better and not being able to submit people who I think I should be able to submit. My guillotine sucks. my setups for arm bars suck. I'm not very good at this.

Wednesday:
MT More of the same stuff we did monday, as well as Clinch work.
game is to get inside control, throw light knees, and break while throwing a strike. Control at the crown of the head.

Thursday: rest

Friday: did the Stanley workout. 100 burpies, flutter kicks, squats, pushups. completed in 19m:53s

Saturday: 45 minute trail run w/ kuo.
