    He pushes me much further than I did on my own hence every muscle hurting. It's worth it though

    I have felt drained all week, and took the last two days off. I went with volume over weight today and I still felt weak. Not a whole lot of fun, but at least it is done.

    Friday

    Manually moved and stacked 8 pallets of 100lb bags by hand.

    Gym was deemed optional.

    Saturday

    Treadmill 35 min moderate pace

    Today

    Heavy bag 4x3 min
    Speed bag head work 4x2

    60 sec fast treadmill between
    rounds.

    5 min rope footwork

    Grappled with my 21yo (no strike jujitsu) stepson. I am 42. I outweigh him by 42lbs. He's 5-9 and 145, mostly trains straight boxing at a gym locally. So, he's in shape and he's getting better all the time. I am no belt holder, but I know some stuff. He learned side control leading into the Kimura/triangle/arm bar style setups today, and it's cool to see him become an adult athletically.

    We're actually practicing ground and hand to hand for ccw reasons. He wants a permit, which is doable easily in CO, and he's a good kid who works late downtown.

    I've told him that if a man isn't able to protect his weapon and create some distraction and separation in a confrontation, he shouldn't carry. His response was, what mma stuff do I need to know? I said that Im 6-5 and ~195, if you can learn to defeat or stalemate an opponent of my size on the ground, you probably won't actually need a weapon. But you'll be ready either way. He learning that size helps, but it's not everything in a confrontation. He's struggled with physical confidence, but we're getting there.

    I love him.

    We had fun.

    I won't be sharing much more of this, but it was a cool time with him.

    BACK & BICEPS

    Weighted Pull Ups: 25/8 and 26/6
    1 Arm T Bar Row (bar not included): 80/10 and 80/10
    Alt DB Bicep Curls: 50/14 and 50/12

    Very brief but very intense workout today. 6 killer sets !!! I always subscribed to the idea that the more intense you train, the less you have to do. I'll take intensity over volume everyday! This workout contains both my favorite exercise (pull ups) and my least favorite exercise (bicep curls). Now it's time to drink my post workout chocolate milk !!!

    I do circuit bodyweight training using the spartan system basically you do a certain workout like pushups as many as you can for a said amount of time i do 5mn then you switch to another exercise like burpies same thing each exercise works a different body part and group of muscles i have lost over 100ibs with this system.

    Awesome stuff. Keep up the great work. Clearly there are different styles of training for specific results. I wouldn't mind gaining 100 pounds haha !!! That's why I lift the way I do !!!

    I have been feeling drained and beat up the last few days. It took considerable effort to drag myself to the gym. Not the best workout, but the best I could manage tonight.

    Due to the cold I had I slacked off my push ups. Got back into it last night after taking three days off. 84 broke up into five sets. I was sucking wind. Saturday is next at 90. Probably gonna do 30 tonite and 30 tomorrow to try and get back in the groove.
