OK, today is saturday, and I should be in Melbourne, probably know celebrating with the rest of the guys I train with after the Pan pac's....however, on thursday night, my girlfriend starts saying her leg is aching...I am like, just rest it and it should be ok. She does this. We wake up friday morning and her knee has blown up to the size of one of my ass cheeks and is looking like a large melon. She is sick as a ****en dog, so we take her Dr who puts her in hospital. By this stage it is 1pm, and with a 8-9 hr drive ahead of me, I decide **** it, I wouldn't be anywhere near my best for tournament, so decide not to go. **** decision to make, but what the ****, it is one tournament, there will be others, and she was pretty sick, only came home tonight.
Anyways, my new set of goals etc for next 8 - 12 weeks...
- Get body weight to between 225 and 230. Am currently 235-238 which is ok as I carry it well...but would feel better on the mat or on the road at the slightly lower weight.
- Increase weights for 6 reps on all major exercises...can I do this and drop weight? Not sure, possibly not, but I think I have it in me to lift heavier than I do without much more effort. have been doing more of a maintenence programme for a while now (about 8 weeks) and am feeling strong al over, no niggling injuries and all is well.
- Get back into BJJ more regularly. have worked 4 out of the last 5 weeks at times which make BJJ almost impossible more than once or twice a week. Roster is now more settled, should be able to get on mat more often and will improve whoe game. Most concerned with work from stand up/clinch into takedown.
- Run 3 miles at least 3 times a week. Need to do this basically for my cardio which improves most from runnig, but also cause of rugby pre season starting soon, which is a whole other thread.
Am in gym tomorrow am...will keep you all posted
Wish me luck!
