To my surprise, I haven't actually missed BJJ. Hadn't realise how much fatigue it added/how much better I'm feeling in the gym without it. Also expecting an uptick in work and life stuff over coming months, so a strong chance it gets cut, lol. May return to it one day in the future when lifting isn't my #1 physical priority, and I'm really glad I tried it out!

Notes

Loved the adductor machine, can get a great stretch. Definitely keeping those in. A little bit of rib pain post pendulums, but nothing too bad and nothing that lingered overlong.

looks like the ab stuff I've been doing has transferred well to the machine at the gym. Like the lower back stuff too, seems sensible to try to target building some muscle there since mostly it just gets hit isometrically.

Notes

Also did a 50 min cycle instead of BJJ yesterday. Finding the stationary bike less boring than I usually do. Might be because I've adapted to it a little bit more? In the past, I'd feel my quads burning even if I was just at like 110 HR, but now I can get into the 130s without that.

Did side bends to see how rib is feeling. A bit of pain, but I was able to move 80% of previous load without too much issue. Another week until I go back to BJJ I think.

Couldn't do anything with load on my shoulders [pendulum squat, usual calves], so had to sub or skip those. Should have gone back and done more leg extensions at end of work, but i'll try to make it up with some form of lunge tomorrow.

lateral machine bothered ribs a little bit -- felt like from something contracting to stabilise my ribs as i moved, hard to say. no major irritation, tho, so that's nice. let's see how chest goes tmrw.

Stationary bike 45 mins

Notes

After a day, thinking it is more likely a pulled muscle or strained ligaments in the rib area, rather than a bone damage. Just a sense based on the type of pain and when it hurts. Hurts like fuck to sneeze/cough/burp. Going to be a bit of an adventure to find out what lifts I can do tomorrow.

You can do tib raises on a lying leg curl machine, on the roller pads. Depending on the design of the machine.
At least I did so at my old commercial gym back in the day

But using oly shoes (which lengthens the moment arm) and doing them leaning your butt against a wall works well, or hanging your feet over an edge, adding weight when it gets easier.
That's how I do mine

Oh nice ideas! Using the Oly shoes for against the wall one is super smart. Alas I also splashed the cash on this bar thingy, which works pretty well at least.

Knee seems to be 100%, again most bizarre injury I've ever had! Was fully limping for like 18 hours and then poof.

Bought one of those knees over toes guy tibialis bar thingies b/c the machine I use for it at the gym kind of sucks. Not sure there's any real reason to train it, but there is some vague application to BJJ, and having more muscle in random places seems like a good thing.

Touching new weights on hammers and both wrist/finger things. I used to do reverse wrist curls regularly a about 18 months ago, and never got past using 10kg, with which I peaked at like 10ish reps? Dunno why I've rapidly jumped past that already, maybe the finger curls helped the reverse somehow? Anyway, that's cool.
