Schuh. Got the last pair in Dublin I think. Was in Dundrum on Sunday, they'd an 8 and a 7 on display, asked for the match of the 8, and there was none. Had a pair in Liffey Valley they put on reserve for me and collected em yetserday.

Went out for 2k in my Merrell's last night... 1 minute run + 1 minute walk, not sure if that counts as a training session but it's recorded anyway.

Certainly "feel" quicker in them combined with modifying my running style a bit. Could all well be in my head tho.

<<Who is she...>>

Starting hour 24 of work since 7am Tuesday morning, more if you include PT'n. Needless to say I'm quite tired, and leaning up nicely.

Very tough week in work so really wasn't interested in anything too physically taxing. My back and hips were shot to bits from about 40 hours of sitting at my desk on in my car over 3 days so went with some power work in the form of single leg box jumps instead of power cleans. Then I was thinking and realised my pure power numbers aren't THAT bad, but my reactive strength is pretty crap, so revisited it with some reactive box jumps later on. I didn't count my number of foot contacts during the session, but I know they were too high. Gonna try keep them in 20 range 2x per week.

The strength stuff was alright - mighta pushed 5s on the bench. REally not ALL that concerned once it keeps moving. Would like to press 140kg and squat 200kg again this year at <90kg while still training BJJ hard.

Gunzz cos I want big arms and will try to have a bit of arm work in every gym session this year.

Nice simple session. Happy out.

<<just can’t hold on….>>

Chins:
BW x8
+10kg x6
+20kg x4

No Gi BJJ - 2 hours
-pummeling drills to warm up
-pummel, shuck underhook shoulder up, scoot around to Jonny Wilkson position w/ tight body lock
-both legs behind, twist and down (or drop for double leg and use ear pressure to move)
-ran thru the 3 half guard sweeps Drysdale showed us at the last seminar
-rolled a good bit - probably 40-45 minutes in total between first point passing and rounds
-found a couple of nice head and arm chokes, couple of back take arm drags, couple of single legs… tryna change things up a bit and transition to some newer things, happy out

Got Rope?
-15 minutes, 6 person rotation on the battling ropes:
10 big arm swings e/s
10 overhead slams
10 small waves e/s

Really nice session. Gonna just do an 8-6-4 weighted chin before every training session for the next while as I continue with the arms race. Will add maybe 2.5kg per week. The no gi stuff was frickin’ awesome last night. Just seem to be flowing really well, had a nice balance all the way thru and strung some nice things together. Even went for a triangle, almost had it locked in but was never getting it so just transitioned to arm bar.

The battling ropes are filthy. My hands are still tingly this morning after them. I said it last night, but they’re the closest thing to an upper body prowler I’ve used. I’m a fan.

Seriously that is....what of all the 'cool' stuff you've done are you not a fan of?

I'm not a fan of **** stirring. I like to leave that to people with fake user names.

...or dual accounts. Wouldn't be the first time someone posted on boards/the Internet just looking for a reaction of some/any sort.

<<If you’re broken I will mend you…>>

BJJ - 90 minutes
-arrived late thanks to stupid work so missed the warm up, straight into passing drills and got banana splitted, lovely
-drilled scissor sweeps last night, wasn’t in the mood to train and wasn’t really getting them at all
-ran back over the half guard stuff we were working on all month, pretty happy there
-did some deep half entry stuff, even got a nice sweep on it from live rolling
-grouped up in weight classes and did like 1 out for 4/5 people starting from half guard and going to first point (ming’n)
-rolled 4 good rounds, crunching something in my rib pretty badly at the end of round 4, called it there cos the last time I kept rolling after something popped in my ribs I was out for like 8 weeks. Iced the hell out of it, woke up feeling a bit tender, but not too bad.

Friday - BJJ x2 mins, f*cking ribs.

Then I spent about 45 minutes mobilizing, rolling, stretching and playing. Stuck in Sligo up to today with work an working flat out so first chance to do anything today.

Ribs feel ok, gonna wait until Monday to train cos we've a big 7 day camp with Nivea Oliveoil that I want to be 100% for.

Today was good - box jumps were solid. Pretty much up to doubling for multiple sets the height I first did a couple of weeks ago. Not surprising given the nature of it really. Sets got better as they went on, probs implying there's efficiency gains to be had still.

Single leg box jump was solid. Better this week. Up to 115 3x3 next. Had no rings with me so sub'd in face pulls.

Gunzz were super awesome.

Felt amaaaaaaaaazing after the stretch and roll.

Oh and I can now do an overhead wall squat with my toes against a wall
