Jiu Jitsu Training 1/16/19 - Turtle Guard
Yesterday's lunch Jiu Jitsu training was at the Rodrigo Freitas BJJ gym in Hawthorne, CA. Lessons for the day were on full guard recovery from turtle guard when the opponent has a front head pull position and taking the back from the head pull position when the opponent is in turtle guard and has a hold on the single. I got to rep on both sides for each drill. Then, I did 4 rounds of positional training from both the top and bottom position of the turtle guard. After that, I got to roll one round with a heavyweight brown belt, which was great, since I normally don't get to roll with heavier ranks.
Later that night, I spent time doing some extra stretching for 10 minutes. I spent several minutes stretching in class as well while each move was being taught to us. Then, I did 4 sets of body hallow isometrics for 30 seconds on each set. I even did some stretching at my desk for each hour so I can be prepped for class and not be so stiff.
Powerlifting Training 1/17/19 - Bench and Squats
Tonight's training was at the 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport gym in Walnut, CA. Before training tonight, I was carrying a heavy box for several hundred feet, which was great, since it kept my muscles activated. I had three days off from heavy lifting, so I wanted to make sure my body was ready for tonight's training session. The squats went great and I didn't had to grind so much and I went deeper in the hole.
I had to finish up on the bench after the first set, since a bunch of people were waiting to use the movable bench, but I got the set that I needed, so I went to the floor press afterwards. I was spent by the time I got to the bench, so after the top set of the bench was it for me, but by the time I got to the T-Bar rows, I go a second wind and started to poor it on. I did some stretching several sets during the workout.
During the warm ups for the squats, I would stretch out my calves and hip flexors. Also, during the T-Bar row sets, I would stretch out my chest between sets. When I got home, I did some of the body hallow isometrics and did some more stretching afterwards. I was suppose to train yesterday, but the kids activities got in the way.
