.82 mile jog. Got basically no sleep and was smoked by the time I ran. Wanted to get something in but didn’t have much in the tank. Finished the .82 in Just over 5 minutes, which doesn’t suck. Legs tomorrow and some form of running after.
Had some craziness at work yesterday so had to push the workout to today.

Decent lift. Couldn’t figure out why my back was stiff the whole time then remembered that I did deads on Saturday. Whoops. Had 6 at 210 but didn’t want to grind too bad. Was gonna run 2 miles but my back just didn’t feel awesome, and for some reason I’ve had low grade nausea all day. Whatevski’s, legs tomorrow. Also, the LA fitness opened half of their basketball court so might hit legs there then hoop for a bit after. We’ll see.
Still killing it bro
Yous not locked down over there?
Thanks, bud.
Nah, man; I’m in Texas. We’ve basically been open with light restrictions since May. You have to wear a mask and most places try to enforce some form of social distancing, but otherwise it’s business as usual.
How is it in your neck of the woods?
Shot around for 10-15 minutes

Leg press- 1/2/3/4 Plates x 10
1 mile jog in 7:30
Decent session. The squats felt great. Hadn’t shot a jumper in a LONG time, but had to get a few up. Don’t really know (or really care) what the difference is between RDL’s and SLDL’s, but did one of those. Not sure if I’ll keep 'em as my low back was fried. Maybe that means I need to keep 'em to get that stronger.
Kept creeping back in to the court to shoot around between each movement. Gonna get back to business and stop fucking around, but it was nice to put shots up. Definitely gonna try and play at least once a week 'cause I truly need to play.
The run was tough 'cause my legs and especially low back were fried, but got it in. Rib feels good enough to push but the BJJ gym is closed till Saturday, so I’ll probably go through some jump shot drills tomorrow then get back to getting beat up on Saturday. Y’all be easy.

Knocked this out early due to the holiday, and for some reason I was unbelievably tired: not like normal tired, I mean sleepy. Immediately went home nd took an hour nap. Anyway, decent session. My hamstrings are still crazy sore, and slightly tweaked something in my left bicep, so debating on what to do tomorrow. Worst case I’ll just get a jog in. Hope everyone’s had a good holiday.
Edit: Oh yeah, the shoulder finisher is something I read in a Ben Bruno article. It’s reverse flyes, external rotations and facepulls all done on a TRX. Felt it in my shoulders and traps like no other. Gonna ditch the BPA’s during the main work.
5 minute jump rope
Squat- bw/45x10, 95/135/175/205/235/265x5
1 mile jog in 7:20
Hamstrings are still outrageously sore, so decided to squat. Got to the leg curl and realized my hamstrings couldn’t handle it, so got a quick run in and called it. Think I’m gonna ditch deads for a bit and squat twice a week, sticking to 5’s. My form today felt even better than Tuesday.
Rib is still a little off, but might try some BJJ in the morning.

They thought I caught the 'Rona again but it was just the flu. In any event, I’ve basically been outta the gym for 3 weeks. Dropped back a few cycles to be safe, but didn’t lose too much strength. Also, my joints and shit feel fantastic. Definitely gonna schedule planned breaks going forward. Jiu-Jitsu tomorrow.

Pretty good session. Wussed out on Jiu-Jitsu last night 'cause I still feel slightly rundown, and for some reason my shoulders have been feeling stiff. Also did a bunch of shit overhead at work today so didn’t push any jokers on incline. Wanted to run 2 miles but the treadmills were jammed and it’s freezing outside so skipped rope till one opened up and got to it. Legs and either distance, hills or bike sprints tomorrow. Y’all be good.

FP/Tri/Fat grip curls- 3x15’s
10 minutes jump rope
Pretty good session. Did Jiu-Jitsu for 1.5 hours on Saturday and my knees, shoulders and elbows felt like peanut brittle. I also got less than 5 hours of sleep last night. Even so, got 6 on my 1+ weight so I’ll take it. Had 4 on 215 but as I was about to go for the 4th rep gues some dude thought I was struggling and literally ran over and grabbed the bar. Have absolutely no idea what he was thinking, but racked it and called the set. Also brought my grip out maybe one finger width and it felt pretty good, so gonna keep it there. Wanted to run but all the treadmills were taken so skipped rope instead. Legs tomorrow, y’all be good.

Another night of shitty sleep, but got off a bit early and snuck in a 20 minute nap. Decent session. The weather’s supposedly gonna warm up a bit tomorrow so gonna try to get in a run before BJJ and light sparring.

Pretty good session. My sleep has sucked balls this week but caffeine is helping the push. Had ZERO interest in running after but forced myself to do it outside in the cold and actually had a decent pace. Legs tomorrow.

SLP-3x10 + LC- 3x10 + Ab circuit- 3x10
1 mile run in around 7:20
Pretty good session. Worked late earlier in the week but instead of taking OT decided to cut out two hours early and break off a nap today. It helped. Knees were super stiff at the start of the run but loosened up after about 2/10th’s of a mile. Jiu-Jitsu tomorrow. Y’all be good.
Skipped rope for 5 minutes, did some movement drills then did an hour of Jiu-Jitsu. Well, more accurately had Jiu-Jitsu done on me for about an hour, but the work got done either way.
1,000 reps jump rope (Not sure if I’ve ever said this, but these are unbroken and done as one set)
Bench- 45x2x10, 95x10, 135x8, 150/170x5, 190x10, 200/210x5 (a couple of paused reps on the 200)

FP-3x15 + CG Pushups- 3x20-something + Hammer curl- 3x12
1 Mile run in about 7:30
Decent session. Had the day off. Passed out early last night but woke up at 3-something and was up till about 7 where I fell back asleep for a few hours and have felt off all day. Got stitches towards the end of my run, which don’t think has happened since I started running consistently. Odd day, but got the work in and made small improvements in spots. Legs tomorrow.
Edit: Want to add that I felt like I had a few more in the tank on the top set but the bar was rolling back in my hands and my wrists were bending and I was losing the ability to push. Not sure how or why this was happening, but it is what it is.
10+ minute ride to the gym
Squats- bw/45x10, 95/135/165/185/205/225x5
RFESS-3x10 + LC-3x10 + Ab Wheel-3x20
1.3 mile run in about 9 minutes
My right knee has felt pretty janky lately. Think it’s the Jiu-Jitsu. Dropped back in weight and no belt to really hammer form on high bar squats. Was gonna go for reps but my knee, hip and low back started feeling off so called it. Squats in general have felt off lately. Once upon a time I was a 405lb squatter, but that was pre-injuries and low bar. A clean 315 for 5 high bar would be more than enough for these old bones nowadays. Jiu-Jitsu and light sparring tomorrow. Y’all be good.
