<<I'm not moving...>>
Strength
Power Cleans:
60kg 2x3
80kg x3
90kg x3
100kg 3x3
Bench:
60kg 2x5
80kg x5
90kg x5
100kg x5
110kg 2x5 - that's surprising
Boxing
6x 2 minute rounds w/ 1 minute recovery
BJJ
Tekkers Jitz - about an hour
-sweeps from butterfly
-underhook arm on butterfly hook side, control other arm from tricep, head goes to knee and 'kick' him over to half guard
Rolling - 2x 3 minute rounds, 8x 5 minute rounds w/ 1 minute recovery
-happy out with the rolls today
-pulled a few guillotines, missed even more - was really happy to get one from mount posting to my head using the elbow drag Barry showed us last week
-pulled another north/south off, got in a good enough position and then just fiddled around til I got it from there
-spent a good while in guard during the rolls during trying to fiddle about and look for sweeps and subs - highly unsuccessful but something to work on
Conditioning
Prowler - 160kg
10 trips in 10 minutes
Strength work was freaky... It seems that I have this strength build from years of lifting that comes back once I decide to train it. Ground breaking. I'll keep chipping away at the power cleans. Was utterly shocked at the bench. They didn't all move rapidly, but I didn't feel in dangr of missing any reps. Considered jumping to 115kg cos I would have got another set of 5 there, but that's something that'll come next time.
Boxing was good... getting less bad. I'm going to have to get someone who knows what they're doing to watch my next spar and hopefully offer some constructive criticism.
Conditioning was solid. Considering 160kg x10 in 10 is still my PR, I'm happy out to hit it after all that work. And sprints yesterday....
Good start to the week. Time to really tighten up the diet now too
Mat time update
BJJ - 61.5 hours (3.5 in April)
Striking - 31.75 hours (0.75 in April)
^^This month is going to SUCK for my mat time being stuck in Tipp for a week.0 -

<< only gay eskimo >>
I found this on the intertubez.Strength
Cleans:
40kg 2x3
60kg x3
70kg x3
80kg x2
90kg x2
100kg 3x2
Muay Thai
70/80 minutes of technique work;
-kicking off the right leg without a step - my hip mobility is terrible, lots of work needed on it's internal rotation
-catching righ kicks - step right to kill power, grab and underhook and pull up like a straight ankle lock to kill their balance, can sweep or attack from there
30/40 minutes of other stuff;
-how to make a proper ring enterance
-kicking off the other dudes punches
Light sparring - 5x 2 minute rounds w/ 1 minute recovery
-first proper MT spar... didn't exactly feel great
-very reluctant to step in with dudes kicking
-don't know when to attack or defend... mneh, training and drilling to learn
Conditioning
Prowler:
40kg x10 minutes, effort every 20 seconds
^^for the purpose of this, an 'effort' was one trip on the IP track, not the usual up and back, but it was done absolutely as explosively as possible so was still tough
Cleans were good today. First time doing them in about 9 months, recovery was a bit slow but general tekkers was quite good. Going to combine these with box jumps and let that take care of my lower body training. I'm starting to reintroduce a little bit of lifting as I'm starting to adapt to all the additional training volume. Probs try to get two-theree heavy sets of benching in during the week and a few sets of pull ups/rows too.
91.6kg and 91mm pre-training today. Time to lock my diet down 100% til at least Sunday and get below 90mm for the IP no gi comp, and then onto <80mm for WCB.

SATURDAY 9/4
C&P'd from the main forum...
In keeping with the tradition of blabbing on incessantly about myself, I’m gonna tell the story of my first BJJ competition.
As some of you are aware, I turned my back on PL for various reasons towards the end of the year and turned my attention towards something new. Credit to Will for suggesting it, Barry for being a great coach and helping me along every step of the way, and all my training partners in Drysdale Jiu-Jitsu in Informed Performance. I literally would not be here without them.
I weighed in at 90.6kg, easily making the 91.5kg weight limit in a 10 man novice class.
Hung around for a few hours watching the advanced guys before my class started and enjoyed some good live competitive no gi Jiu-Jitsu for the first time.
Grant ran myself and Aaron thru some light warm ups before our class started, and then it was onto the mat...
Match 1
I’d literally NO idea what to expect going into this. I was warned in advance to go hard and not be afraid to use pressure cos this wasn’t going to be like training. Tbh the match is a bit of a blur. I think I got taken down but immediately recovered guard, played about for a while there before eventually butterfly sweeping my opponent to side control where he put on a nasty head lock that has left my ear still black and blue. There was a serious amount of pressure and it got to the point where I could feel myself drifting a bit, Barry’s calm assurance that he had nothing from there helped me thru. He ended up back in my guard, stood to pass and Barry called for a school boy sweep on him which I got.... And ended up giving him a straight ankle lock which turned into a heel hook. I heard Barry calling the heel hook (as they’re illegal in Novice BJJ) and immediately tapped out of fear for the safety of my knee, and because I knew if I did the ref would stop the match. I didn’t realise it’d give me the technical victory too, but hey, I’ll take what I can get. 1 and 1 in my BJJ career
Match 2
Came out against a guy who looked like a tight fighter and seemed eager to clinch with me. My clinch exp is minimal, at best, and isn’t something I’d be even remotely confident in engaging in. So as soon as I got wrapped up I pulled guard. In guard the guy tried soem weird twisty thing to get out of it and I thought it left him off base for a sweep. The second time he tried it I realised there was the option of a back take so aggressively rotated around him and snapped on a rear naked choke faster and harder than I ever had before. Heard a gurgle and knew the tap was going to come straight away. 2 and 2, over in about 2 minutes.
Match 3
Me –v- some lad from Waterford MMA. Was talking to him afterwards and he was a really nice bloke. Barry called for a bit more aggression in this one so came at the guy and got an ugly take down to half guard. Passed to side control, and scarf hold, and side control, and scarf hold, and finally side control again. First experience of being on top in a match and just wanted to make sure to hold a good solid position while I waited for an opening. Tried to knee on belly and north/south choke – neither worked. Going to north/south allowed him to recover to his knees and I went for the guillotine. Had it for like 45+ seconds and just couldn’t finish. Ended up tiring the dude out and stretching him along the mat so got the chance to take his back and cranked on the ugliest short/rear naked choke you’ll ever see - forearm to the throat, grab my wrist and just pull hard. 3 and 3. Over in about 90 seconds
Match 4 – The Final
Up against a guy who steamrolled thru the division. Afterwards, I think it was Barry who said something along the lines of “he dominated everyone, but against Hanley he looked ordinary” which felt really good to hear!! Match was about as exciting as watching paint dry. He shot a couple of times, I got double overhooks and sprawled him to like a open turtle position a couple of times but couldn’t pressure him in the right way to make an advance frm there. He recovered and drove at me while I pulled a half butterfly guard. Tried a couple of sweeps but was too high up on his hamstring and not enough into his knee for it to work. Went back to full guard and spent most of the rest of the match there. He passed to half guard towards the end and won and advantage for it, and that was all that seperated us at the end. 4 and 3 for a silver medal in the novice division against a blue belt in 3 months of training.
Barry talked me thru all my matches, telling me exactly what to do at all times. I just did it and profited. Same story with the training leading up to it really. So, thanks coach!
I’d a brilliant day and the bug has defnitely bitten. Next up.... MMA?
The heel hook....
