Traversing the Obstacles of Life and BJJ
 

Goals:
--longevity and health
--stay in shape for hiking, traveling, being husband, and life
--Now BJJ

I don't want to work at the extremes of the strength <-----> endurance spectrum to often. Why? Because I find both extremes BOOOOOOORINGGGGG. But that is just me.;)

Old injuries: Right hip from excessive running when training for 50 mile foot race.
--Medial Meniscus troubles that flare occasionally.

Warm-up
--sand bag shouldering 6 x 50 lbs, 6 x 100 lbs

Workout
10 min one-arm alt. (l,r,l,r) C&P from floor w/ 75lbs dumbbell 30 reps

15 min. Airdyne

Various stretches

Notes: adductors (sp?) and calves are too tight. When doing sandbag shouldering, I have to roll forward onto my toes to bearhug the bag. I need to keep my heels down and sit between my legs.

JM
Maxwell 300
5 supersets 30 reps of each exercise
pull-ups/push-ups
squats/sit-ups
body rows/hindu push-ups
squats/supine knees to elbows FAILED
mountain climbers/burpees Failed

Notes: Stopped at 17 minutes due to being a wuss. Just not with it. On a side note, I need to add some KB/DB swings after this because it ignores the posterior chain.

A good combo for PC flaming is KB band swing with burpees. I did this the other day, whew!

Nice, I will give it a shot. Thanks.
