Jiu Jitsu and Powerlifting Training 12/4/18 - 1/6/19

1/6/2019

I've been really busy for the past month. Last month, I was preparing for the IBJJF NoGi Worlds and I lost in the first round. I got to train three times per week in Jiu Jitsu for three weeks leading to the tournament, which was the most training that I have done in a long time, since having my kids. Also, I was training both Gi and Nogi at Rodrigo Freitas BJJ gym in Hawthorne, CA and Untamed Jiu Jitsu in West, CA.

Despite my daughter being sick for a week, I was sick for several days leading up to NoGi Worlds. Also, I was studying for a certification exam for work. My highlight of training last month was that I hit 635lbs on the deadlift for 3 reps, I did 675lbs on the squats and benched 340lbs for 1 rep on 4 sets. Last year was my best year in Jiu Jitsu, since I won the most tournaments in a year as a purple belt.
