Today, I signed up for the NABJJF Los Angeles International Jiu Jitsu Open. Thanks to Breakpoint and CKFightLife for your help through the sponsorship program. This will be my first time competing at Masters 2, since I will be 36 at that time. 3 days after my birthday as a matter of fact.
Tonight's training went okay. I had a good start on the bench, then I faded after the 1st top set. My shoulders feel fine. On the sumo deadlifts, I did those instead, since I had a rough time with the conventional deadlifts on Sunday. Also, I need to work on my hips/glutes, so I needed to make the switch.
I'm still working on my sumo technique. Otherwise, I would of gone heavier. My first set was horrible, since I was pulling on my leggings during each rep.
