- Yesterday was a VERY long day for me! I worked from 6:30am until 3:30pm; (my normal schedule is 7am-3:30pm). Then I changed clothes and went straight to Crossfit. The WOD was:
Run 200m/Row 300m
10 pull ups
15 wall balls
4 rounds for time
- Since my foot is still hurting me, I opted to row using the aerodyne rower. Rowing takes so much more out of you then running. It really is a much better exercise for cardio then running will ever be. I was still sore from doing all the pull ups from the day before also, so my time was not the greatest, but I finished the entire workout in 15:01. I was pretty happy with that time, but I know that I could do better. I need to push myself! I think I held back a little bit because I knew that I still had to go to Muay Thai and BJJ afterwards.
- Muay Thai was fun! Cornell had us working on foot jabs for most of the class. The endurance round was not awful either. It is tough, but there have been some endurance rounds that I thought I might have to throw up. I really like punching things though! Andrew was my training partner again. He always pushes me to keep my hands up even if my arms want to drop and tries to motivate me to do just one more kick or punch right before the end of the round.
- No-Gi night at BJJ. We are working closed guard drills this month. Andrew always starts with the basics and progresses towards the advanced closer to the end of the month. We started with basic warm up drills; kimura from closed guard, arm lock from closed guard, and triangle drills, etc… The technique he taught last night was attacks from the high-bite position. This position is similar to the setup for the arm lock in that you isolate the army that you are attacking and position your body perpendicular to your opponents. The main difference is that instead of kicking your other leg over, you would position your leg over your opponent’s shoulder of the arm being isolated.
- We drilled for most of the class and then we did some situational sparring. Situational sparring is fun because it allows you to work on that single position for the time allotted. If you get a submission, you go back and start over. If your opponent passes your guard or reverses the position, you start over. It’s very nice because you can go all out 100% for the entire time working on that position.
- I was so tired after working out for 4 hours that I didn’t do any rolling after class.
- Andrew, Vince, Myself, Lenny, Antoni, Brian Maltby, Chris Lombard, Joe, and Bjorn were all at class last night. I wish that more people could come in and train more regularly. I would love to see Andrew’s school grow to over 100 full time students.
More tomorrow.
