You should rest after Tui Na man, it takes a lot out of you. I know you don't want to miss training but forcing its a recipe for disaster as I know.
Ah I know you're right, but I don't like to miss my jitz
Well, well, well - been a while since an update here:
Went to Wales from 25th - 28th.
Friday 25th: Gym
5 Pullups
10 Pressups
8 x 18kg DB Swing
10 x sets in 19m 30s
Seen Pritchard from Dirty Sanchez training in there, then ended up meeting him that night. Workout was good, was all I could fit in as just arrived in the Hotel and needed to sleep before we headed out.
Rest of the days I drank a lot, ate a little and only swam a bit in the mornings, not great! Ate some bad chicken on the Sunday morning, that night my stomach was in bits and I had to take time off work, was feeling slightly better come the Thursday.
Thurs: Session with Transform
Went through a few movements and we had a chat about metcons. He introduced me to the Crossfit Cindy - I wanted to cry at the end. I just lay on the floor for about 5 minutes. Results at home, will post them later.
Fri: Bjj without Gi: 1h 30m
My strength was pretty terrible after the sick week. Couldn't even pick up an 80kg lad whereas normally that'd be no problem.
Few ground & pound rounds & others that I just cannot remember at moment, going to have to update my BJJ posts a la Hanley.
Sat: 8km run in Phoenix Park: 46m 55s
Ran from gate to gate and back today. Unfortunetly, I had to stop a good few times as still wasn't 100%. However, I did do the 8km and I'm going to just retest this every few weeks and bring the time down.
Sun: Rest Day
Was supposed to go down the park with Hanley today, but it was a no can do as my legs were in ruins after the previous 3 days training and the week I had.0 -

Wed:
Morning Session:
20 Pullups + 40 Squats
15 Pullups + 30 Squats
10 Pullups + 20 Squats
5 Pullups + 10 Squats
Time: 8m 43s
Was doing the pullups in the house so kipping wasn't really an option unfortunately.
Evening Session - BJJ: 1h 30m
Worked on escaping from side control:
- Frame with forearms into stomach & neck, bridge & push out leaving one leg close to opps body, spin into guard.
- Frame with forearms into stomach & neck, opp flattens out, trap leg using stomach arm & roll over.
Worked on an arm bar from side control:
- One arm wrapped around opps head + arm. Bring head arm over onto neck & hold both on opps bicep. Hand on neck, spin over opps head into arm bar.
Got a few rolls in tonight too.
For the record, my descriptions may be lousy but I know what they mean

good job on the diet front and stick to it with the lower carb intake and just bang in plenty of good fats from butter, coconut oil, coconut milk, some nuts and get your carbs from sweet potato, butter nut squash, veg and a small amount of fruit.
Stay off the bread, pasta, rice etc and eat more carbs post workout i.e. sweet potato, butternut squash etc as you will need them then.
Dark choc is your friend also - 70-80%+
Cheers man, it's going really well, putting the effort into diet this time.
Weighed in at 89.7kg last night and that was after a days eating (I'd just been in a restaurant an hour before, big kick ass steak and carrots
)
I'm aiming to be at the 86.5kg when I rock down to you in just over 2 weeks time!
Tues BJJ in SBG: 2h 30m
Well I rocked up to join the elite in SBG, great class with John Kavanagh. Rolls were good and I'm looking forward to doing some different work up there (Muay thai, boxing etc)
Wed BJJ in CBJJ: 1h 30m
Tough class tonight. Went over the arm bar that my coach Luke Corcoran won the fight with in Cage Contender on Saturday. Good few rolls with the lads.0 -

Weigh In:
02 Jan: 95.7kg / 15st 01lb
15 Jan: 93.8kg / 14st 10lb
05 Mar: 92.2kg / 14st 6lb
12 Mar: 90kg / 14st 2lb
19 Mar: 88.7kg / 13st 13lb
26 Mar: 87.3kg / 13st 10.5lb
Right, I went down to the usual weighing scales and it said I was 86.8kg - I don't believe that. Went back to the folks place and tried the scales and it said I was 87.3kg.
I then tested that by getting back on with a weight (1.3kg) and I went up to 88.6kg so it's accurate.
So I did what any son would do, I borrowed the weighing scales and will return it in two weeks 0 -
