Today's training was at the 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport gym in Walnut, CA. This morning I went for singles to find my max. I felt strong throughout the workout and I wasn't slowing down. I'm looking forward to Jiu Jitsu training this week to see where the transfer of strength will show, especially with my arm and grip strength.

Before training, I worked with my son on some Jiu Jitsu moves. My son did a flying arm bar and a knee on belly transition. I will be working with him later tonight. I will be working on guard recovery and passing the open guard.

My second workout was at the Untamed Jiu-Jitsu gym in West Covina, CA. I did reps on taking the back and working on various chokes from the back and from the opponent's turtle position. After that I got to roll for 3 rounds and then I did two rounds of hip escapes.

11/29/18 Training 

​I had a two a day training again, but I started off with lunch Jiu Jitsu at Rodrigo Freitas BJJ in Hawthorne, CA. The class was split in half, in which half the class did Gi and the other half did NoGi. I took the NoGi portion. 

I got to work on NoGi drilling. We drilled on half guard recovery to full guard and another half guard recovery to a knee tap. Then, we did some toreando passing and arm bars from side control. Also, we did triangles, omoplatas, and arm bars from full guard. After that, we did live drills from side control for two rounds. Finally, I got one round of sparring in.

My 2nd workout was at the 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport in Walnut, CA. On the bench, I was working out with other members, so the numbers were changed a bit during the warm up, but I did pretty good and missed my new goal for the month by 1 rep on the bench press for reps. 

On the Barbell Push Press, I did great, despite that I haven't overhead press in a while. I was pretty explosive throughout the whole workout. I feel that my conditioning is definitely coming along.

12/1/18 Training

Today's training went really well. I worked on my grip, core, and conditioning. I went beltless on the deadlifts without straps until 565lbs for reps. Also, I went double overhand on the speed deadlifts until the 4th set and I had to go over and under on the grip. Then, my grip was fried on the rope machine. On the seated leg curls, all of the sets were pretty easy. I'm starting to work on my hamstrings more, since it was cramping up during the week, so I want to make sure that they are conditioned properly for the upcoming week.
