I signed up to RealMVMT again this week. I am starting a martial arts gym next year with a couple of mates (once all this lockdown shit is sorted) and have wanted to do a part time training business for years. These guys have their own certs and a pretty impressive network. The cost of entry is quite low too for the information that's on offer. It will be a nice side business and if it gets to a decent enough level I will take it full time. Financial services is largely fucked in this industry and may not exist in it's current format in 5-10 years time so it will be nice to have a plan B.

plan b's popping up everywhere. smart move to start prepping now, just in case.

Saw the physio again this morning. Elbow isn't necessarily tendonitis but more an ulnar/medial nerve issue which is largely related to my neck. So far seems like a pretty simple fix and she thinks I'll be completely good to go in two weeks. She did some pretty good work and got some massive improvements in range. She also stressed again that I'm hyper mobile and will run into these issues if I don't have strength in those extreme ranges of motion that I can get into.

Damn that is a beastly goal. 
Go get it.
 

It is!

Would be an all time PR but only 20kg above my 1RM from April or May this year. It's definitely gettable.

Squats & Splits- Day 1

Prep

3 ball juggle - 3x60s
Cross Bench pullover 3x5
ROS Seated Good Morning 3x5

Strength

3 Position Squat-
5 x 3 @ 80kg

Hack Deadlift-
1 x 2 @ 60, 4 x 2 @ 80

Ring Dips- 5, 5, 5, 5, 3
KOT Sissy Squat- 5x10

Inner Range Floor Press- 3x10@10
Hanging L-Sit- 3x10s

Squats were pretty difficult and the pauses were getting shorter and the positions higher as I went. Last set was ok though and depth was still pretty good. Could have gone way heavier on the hack deadlift. Just didn't know what to expect. Next time will be up around 100-120 on that one.

Squats & Splits- Day 2

A1) Couch Quad Stretch - 3x30s
A2) Single Leg Pike- 3x5 (1 rep = 4 1/4 reps)
A3) Long Lunge Pulse- 3x5
A4) Seated Pike Lift- 3x10

B) Front Split Test- 60s per side

C) Half Kneeling Hpi Flexor- 1x5/side

D) Standing Pike- 1x60s

Pretty cool stretching session. Didn't take too long but got some surprisingly nice results. Got my calf to touch down on the front splits with right leg forward and hips square. I was upright too and had a decent level of comfort. Then on the standing pike I had both palms flat on the floor again with a pretty good level of comfort. I have forever struggled with left calf tightness and tightness behind the knee. Yesterday was the first time I didn't notice it as much. I think the SL pike had a lot to do with that.
