Hi Tony

thank you – i think its exciting too 🙂

in honesty im not…ive never had a problem with excessive nerves/adrenaline

i will be nervous of course! but not to the point that it will impact my breathing, and therefore performance

i hadnt pre decided….thought id do 1.5 x 3 maybe…but then i just kept going!

so i will work on that distance and time and fine my stride

session was good too – small progressions

weight – 70 kg

no diet change

no output change

upper day today…then fitness – i havent decided what yet…i will update!

watching the comp….well maybe! haha i might just do this one quietly to get to grips with things first, im not sure there will be much to see….however, i will allow spectators IF pompoms are present 😉

hi nathan

i will be competing in both

the first comp just doesnt have nogi in it so i cant enter….i will look to do a couple of comps this year, and enter nogi as well 🙂

Hey all

perfect session this morning

now working on passing the guard from top position.

started with some work on the feet (randori), learnt 2 new take downs.

ended the session with 2 6min free rolls.

felt good – guard retention is coming on well and feeling more confident with identifying opportunities to pass/sweep/gain points

i havent…

im happy to expand on anything if there are questions, but there doesnt seem to be so ill just keep you in the loop 🙂

everything is going well

training daily in some form or the other but will take a rest when needed.

nothing has changed – diet set up is the same

sessions – focussing on getting stronger

cardio stuff – focussing on getting fitter

bjj – focussing on actually learning stuff haha

haha

its just there ready and waiting….one day, there MIGHT be a smidgeon of rest

just an update from me!

still working away and very much finding my groove with everything

started to look at comp calendars for BJJ….end of summer i think will be the first one – we will see

brilliant week – loving everything.

full rest day yesterday which was lush…we watched the rugby….the best game i have ever watched, me and jord were exhausted from the adrenaline haha

great week

its friday and ive done 5 bjj classes and 3 weight sessions

FULL rest tomorrow…i think my body will like me ever so much for this then gym on sunday to finish off the week 🙂

it really is!

over thinking can lead to less success – ive found this myself in many walks of life

hello 🙂

great! Glad youre enjoying it 🙂

i havent changed my training plan – still training quads&push , hams&pulls, typically 4 sessions a week – doesnt matter if these back to back or run EOD. ill just alter the movement choices to avoid cross over.

all the same movements and focus in training – strong and progressive.

im not adding…

hello 🙂

welcome to monday and happy valentines day!

standard week coming up for me – work/training.

As ever, to do list as long as a very long thing with new bits and bobs to sort and work out

body is feeling good – no change to anything at present 🙂

gratefully, i have never had diagnosed depression.

i have had many things throughout my life to deal with, all of which arent relevant to my blog or things i want to share. i deliberately do not share many personal things about myself because i simply dont want to.

basing a persons level of ‘happiness’ from social media isnt wise. People show…

my knee is coping haha just gets inflammed but no pain during movements

happy monday one and all 🙂

everyone had a nice weekend i trust?

we were in edinburgh for a fleeting 24 hours to see the rugby, it was so so so good, loved every minute of the whole mini trip with jordan

i drove – which tbf didnt even feel long, and was a pleasure

Hams today – good session, nice and strong, i dont like the standing…

Read more

no, just me playing around and observing 🙂

well, im impressed ! 🙂

leg day today – knee will likely hate me later but no pain at all and the session was great

its just inflammed – hard to explain

any questions from anyone? or happy for me to just ramble and update as i go ? 🙂

70.6 !?[/quote]

hello all 🙂

good day today – rest day from weights

last 2 sessions were great – nice and strong

my knee is feeling a little inflamed so ill just be aware of that, i dont see it as an issue and it wont stop me from doing or pursuing!

ill provide a few facts…

last day of january!

decided to add 50 extra carb on the days i do some cardio based training – sensible move.

morning

very very good hammy session yesterday

body is laboured today!

as jordan mentioned above, he has thoroughly outlined the pathway ahead

but, in short…. we dont 100% know

i MIGHT try the wellness class at the end of the year, but i might not.

im still focussed on improving my strength and physique – thats unchanged

i am going other,…

hi tim

i think the only question that matters is…how does this diet feel for you?

do you like the foods? do they sit well? does it keep you satiated?

how long has this been your diet plan? have you recently changed or do you know this is your maintenance point to progress on with?

evening all 🙂

rest day from training today – but never rest day from the 5 millions other things haha

good, productive day

body is VERY sluggish today…. ive reached a point were i have nothing to assist at all and now im on the up with natural strength levels….love it, but feel it!

will see how i go over the next few days and alter…

Read more

Very kind of you to say, im happy my blog is of interest to you 🙂

nothing changes at all – just having a few classes on rest days

training is still 2 on 1 off – alternating between, hams & pull, and, quads & push

i upped my training day food

just a smidge

25c and 5f , but applied this to all days and not just the biggest leg day as i was going to

seems sensible given the situation and much needed

rest day today

was in and out like a yoyo!

vets / work / food shop / saw mum, sister and nephew for a little bit / housework etc etc

good day though 🙂

MORNING 🙂

i knowwww im terrible at updating BUT i promise im not being lazy…im working away with the business side of things…these are more important than updated about me!

training is going very very very well now

i have reached a point where my natural progression has started to creep i think which is really cool and exciting

time will…
