Wednesday, May 28th: Muay Thai

Warmed up with a round on the rope followed by a round of knee lifts, with some push-ups in between. Then did some hand drills and ping-pong push kicks. Stretched a bit.

Worked on the regular push kick a bit with both legs. One bad habit I noticed is that when going for a front leg push kick, I subconsciously move my rear foot in a bit, to help with the balance or whatever, but that leaves me off balance when I return my front leg. Just thinking about lifting the front leg up instead of thinking about a massive super duper liver-destroying kick seemed to help with this.

I have absolutely no idea of the English name of our technique of the day, so I'll just call it "stopper": when the opponent is coming towards you, you just extend your leg in front of you to stop the opponent. Worked on it with both legs.

Worked the stopper into some combos: front stopper to a rear roundhouse, rear stopper to a front roundhouse, rear roundhouse to a front stopper to another rear roundhouse.

Did an absolute shitload of ab work, push-ups and back extensions, then stretched.

Everything up until 165 kg went up fast and smooth, but that last single ended up being an uneven and slow DWL.

Really don't know why I ditched the 5x5 rep scheme for this one... Just should've stuck to it.

Probably last workout until Monday. Graduation on Saturday...

Long time, no update.

Monday, June 2nd: Muay Thai

Learned the basic elbow strike. Worked that into some combos with jabs and crosses. Then worked on the "stopper" a bit more, comboing that with roundhouses.

Wednesday, June 4th: Muay Thai

Worked on the elbow strikes a bit more, then worked on a couple of knee strike variations. One where you step towards your opponent in the fighting stance, grab him by the neck and send him to the ER, the other being a basic straight knee in the clinch. Did a jab - knee to gut - rear hand elbow strike -combo. Then did some more work on the roundhouse - stopper - roundhouse combo.

My rear leg roundhouse is sooo much better than my front leg roundhouse, I have no idea why... I just can't seem to get much power with my front leg. Oh well, keep working on it.

Friday, June 6th

Played around one and a half hours of soccer. First hour was mostly just kicking the ball about but the last half an hour consisted of the always so lovely end-to-end offense... The +28C weather made this even more charming.

Got home and did some stretching, then skipped rope for around 4 minutes and then held a plank for 1:27.

I really need to get back on track with my training. Please, if there's actually anybody reading this shit, if this log isn't updated atleast 5 times a week from now on, kick my ass for it. Pretty please.

Wednesday, June 11th: Muay Thai

Missed Monday's practice due to a university admission test. Blah...

Worked on blocking punches a bit, then on blocking a punch and simultaneously launching a roundhouse. Then worked on the stopper a bit more, hitting a stopper followed by a roundhouse with the same leg.
