Ok. Tonight, day 3 into true workout adventure. 3 minutes on heavy bagx3 (wore gloves, broke two knuckles last weekend-spinning backfists come fast from a former LD guy?)
1 minute x3 heavy sparring with my middle son. First time he’s hit me. Only once. He listened. He learned. He’s learned my weakness from traditional, it’ll take him a bit to find it when I went southpaw (lead leg) but he will.
2. 3 minutes x3 heavy grappling last 30 seconds were teaching my son how to pull off a Kimora from guard or top. It ain’t easy, but will end a fight fast if someone is not trained.
3. 165x6x2 bench 175x7 (to fail) last set. I feel ok with this at 220ish just getting back into it at 42. Is love to write “330x10x5 just to work out the soreness”. Yeah. No.
4. Squat-No. legs cramped trying to get 300 off the rack. Going to really have to build up here. Figured 1/2 of max lifting weight to start on everything with reps depending on how it felt. No. Not here. Once my legs stop cramping, probably this weekend I’m going low weight high rep until they stop. Kinda silly knowing you can lift so much more but one muscle gives and you’re screwed.
5. Curls 120x5x3-used hips. I don’t ever wanna C&J again, I hate that lift. Even if it’s prolly the best one for golf. I’m combining the two from here out. I’ll do the reps as a curl until I can’t and then it’s hip centric. Last set to fail right at 10.
6. 2 minutes by 2 rounds-heavy grappling. I started top mount closed guard and had him put me into a Kimora. Learned an hour ago. I struck my right hand to his right side initially saying “this is how you look for an opening, there’ll be not enough to knock you out behind it” (I showed him first session how to take the power out of every punch when in full guard). He grabbed my right wrist with his left arm. I promptly put him into one and showed him why you have to THINK. Top mount he did better. He started sliding off the wrong side and didn’t have it sunk deep enough at first, but not bad. I’ll lock that in next session and then I’ll teach something else.
My enthusiastic 9 y/o will be here shortly. Two lessons, one night. One tired dude here in an hour.
But imma do it for the child, he’s loved it so far.
