i don’t know what those things are but sounds awesome. I think crossfit is really dumb but it makes my mom happy so i’ll tolerate it haha
having a medical moment, inexplicable internal abdominal bleeding… still hitting a few lifts that don’t make it hurt. But mostly just walking a bit, eating clean, reading and trying to recover. Cannot wait to get back to jiu jitsu and full lifting here in November 🤙
o that’s awesome man! find a bjj gym after that has wrestling practice. i grew up wrestling in the midwest. my stepdad was a national champ/coach. I wasn’t good at all but was around it a lot. I’ve been doing bjj as often as possible just over 5 years. with a lot of wrestling classes and grappling for mma classes sprinkled in. it’s my whole social life outside of work
Damn national champ is crazy impressive! I’ve done a little bjj in the offseasons but definitely thinking I’ll transition to that and maybe some muy thai / mma training post college just to have something to keep working at. Such a great community of people with combat sports and the awsome thing about bjj is it can be a lifelong discipline.
dude i’m pumped for you. So much endless discovery there. The other cool part is there is jiu jitsu almost everywhere on the planet, and the people are usually interesting and fun
Barbell and dumbbell lifts. Mostly maintenance, not trying for PRs. Overhead press, deadlifts, bench, squats, along with lying tricep extensions, French press, etc. also, got a standing desk. Made an improvement in my posture
Get an anti-fatigue floor mat. Makes a big difference (on my feet 8 hours a day and feet are not sore when I get home )
Living on a boat so very limited with space but doing 30mins a morning of conscious stretching and calisthenics using the body as a weight and loving it. Works well for our environment and makes you feel awesome. Amazed how little you need to do to make yourself feel great. It’s all about POW

Lift, hike, heavy bag, work, and when the weather blesses skateboard, swim, kayak, snorkel
Crazy how much martial arts have leveled up in such a short period of time. But then again it’s kind of an example of how free markets and open competition drives innovation. When all the arts were siloed there very little improvement but put them all head to head and we can actually figure out what works!

Lifting for progressive overload. Walking a ton and some sprints
Push, Pull, and Legs split. Highly enjoyable. Takes me no more than an hour per workout.
I still bench. 285 for 8 currently working up to 315. I gave up squatting and deadlift due to a disc issue in my back so I do leg presses and hack squats instead.
I have an actual disc herniation from a snowboard accident 10 years ago, so nothing really helps (tried everything) but it’s manageable.
I don’t get volume in, this is a low volume style of training. Workouts take like 20 mins total.

i'm in that phase that i know i should be doing way more than i should, i guess the 30s will teach me in the most brutal way and force me to start doing it.
working on absolute strength and endurance. push, pull, carry, hinge, squat... building from 800m repeats. 10 more weeks and then digging into endurance focus. Probably hot back into BJJ then, too.

Variable Resistance Training using X3. Walk the dog most days...
Trying to hit 30 minutes of Zone 2, 6 days a week, with another 30-45 minutes of some form of strength, mixture of bodyweight, machines and/or freeweights. Following Dr. Attia's cardio protocol with Zone 2 training most days and one/two day a week of Zone 3-4.
Really enjoy High Intensity Training - Mike Mentzer Push,Pull,Legs is great and simple. John Meadows has some awesome programs if you have some money to spare. RIP Mountain Dog! image
