today i did:

dynamic stretches
hit the thai bag, my left wrist was a bit sore so i just did teeps, round kicks, and knees (clinch and unattached).

i feel like my energy level is good again. i keep waking up at 5am feeling refreshed, the extra 2 hours of sleep past that certainly doesn't hurt.

it is a nice!

i went to class tonight, hit the heavy bag (mostly hands) for about 45 minutes, then class. we did some kicks to warm up, then some focus mitt drills, then some blocking/counterpunching and finally some kick shields and counter-kicking. i had not seen the guy who i was paired up with before but he could kick really hard, i wuz envious !!

i had a headache this afternoon/evening, hopefully it will feel better soon.

this morning i was super tired. i woke up at 7 without my alarm but i was feeling really beat so i just stayed in bed.

i did go to spar tonight though, i worked on the heavy bag for an hour or so and then did some rolling and sparring (MMA), i felt like i had a pretty good night, my top control used to be very bad because i wouldn't use my arms enough (to stop them from turning towards/away), but i have corrected that. in standup i feel like my punch blocking/slipping could use a lot of work (i cover and can't see sometimes), but i did shield a decent amount of kicks. my clinch got better.

one more day and i get my rest day!! w00t!

i went to class today, i missed standup 'cuz i got up too late, but i did grappling. we went over hip bump and guillotine combinations. afterwards i rolled with a few people and then did some MMA sparring with the same dude from last night.

now i just have to go do squats tonight and i'm done for the week. i'm very sore and tired but i also feel very 'good', alert, something like that.

on Saturday i failed to go to the gym to do squats i tried to sleep after class so i could go at like 7 but i couldn't sleep, i kept rolling around on the floor like an animal. oh well!

today i did:

15, 10, 10 hyperextensions
shoulder warmups

push press:

2 x 10 @ 45lbs

work sets:

3 x 5 @ 115lbs

weighted dips:

3 x 5 @ BW + 40lbs

close-grip bench:

3 @ 155lbs, 3 @ 135lbs
2 x 5 @ 135lbs

then 120 of that midsection exercise that i luv.

i felt like my shoulder might get hurt on close-grip bench so i eased off it.

TONIGHT:

i went to class, we did escapes from the four points position. i felt best with the sit-out and pulling half guard into a sweep. i rolled a bit, nothing is really standing out in my mind right now except that i just realised why this guy got out of my armbar so readily (forgot to squeeze knees)..

i didn't sleep well last night, i had nightmares all night so i didn't go to train this morning.

i went to class early and hit the heavy bag for about 45 mins. i fucked my right wrist up a bit, nothing horrible but if i twist it some ways it give me a shot of pain, i think i didn't wrap my hands tightly enough. i'm going to see how it is tomorrow morning, i may just do knees/kicks tomorrow or i may skip morning training altogether (i have to go out tonight), we'll see.

tonight we did mostly defense stuff and shields, i was too tired by the end, i should have gone to bed earlier last night.
