BJJ - 1 hour

Notes

Good workout. Mild elbow flare up at one point, but overall it is still progressing back to full recovery well. Doesn't interfere with anything, but unpredictable nature of scrubs doing BJJ can put it in dodgy spots.

Last month was all closed guard, but now we're moving to half guard. Feel lost again, so time to study! Find bjj very intellectually engaging.

BJJ - 1 hour

Notes

Worked on triangle chokes. Big thighs seem like a mild impediment since it's harder to get your legs inside the chin gap. This is why many top BJJ guys don't train legs, lmao.

Woke up with a raging headache which is still lingering. Been sleeping poorly in the heat. Feel quite fatigued from training, but still progressing so don't feel super like I need a deload, but may take Fri/Sat off depending how i feel.

Edit: one day I will go to bjj _not_ having done an extensive lifting session the day before, and it's gonna feel like i've unlocked a super power

BJJ - 1 hour

Notes

worked various cross-collar attacks from closed guard. didn't fully get to grips with the sweep, but instructor gave me some more details after the class that helped. feel quite weird to choke someone tbh.

Going to start doing a weekly round-up on main lifts, so I can compare them easily week-to-week. Just like the "best set" from the _main_ lifts for the week. If these lifts are progressing over time, then I'm happy.

Notes

Surprisingly not sore or particularly fatigued from yesterday. Ate like 5-600 calories more than normal and was still kind of hungry at bed time, and woke up 0.7kg lighter than normal today. Progress everywhere except dips, which makes sense since shoulders were used a lot in the warmup. Enjoy how well lifting has prepared me physically for BJJ, since I hear lots of reports of being people totally wrecked after rolling.

Elbow pain is bizarre. Didn't hinder me _at all_ this workout, only briefly felt it if I got in a weird groove doing the lying extensions. I did some light wrist curls, rev wrist curls, pronations, supinations, etc., and none of that hurt. The only movement that reliably is painful is lif there is resistance when doing the motion of a cable internal rotation

Will monitor, but glad and surprisedit didn't interfere with this workout. Sometimes can be like a random 8/10 pain during normal day-to-day activity, though.

Oh, moving curtsy lunges to Fri or Sat. Thursday BJJ with rekt glutes/hips was not so fun.

Notes

Love this lat movement, can get such a good stretch and feel really locked in.

The handles of my adjustible DBs are super thick, so they're very awkward to use for reverse wrist curls, feels like thumb gives out before anything. Maybe should just stick to BB, but that was annoying in its own ways too. Bleh, doesn't really matter just do it.

Very minimal elbow irritation, so that's good.
