I’ve been meaning to ask, are you still training jiu jitsu?

No. I was pretty disappointed in the operation that first night I tried to get in so I never went back.

I’m sure for the best. I tried a Krav Maga school once for a free workout and found the sales tactics too pushy. Found out a few years later the guy was a total fraud and had left town.

I might be too lazy to really have gotten interested to. People seem to sweat a lot. 
 

And as far as KM is concerned if you’re doing it right and get into a fight chances are you’ve got jail time coming.

Yeah, jiu jitsu is the worst kind of cardio. But I still enjoyed it. 😀

It’ll be interesting to see what this low volume, singles thing has done when I test in a couple of weeks. Also I need to go back to my Spider Chalk. Big difference between that and Vikn. Vikn can be used better for barbell stuff that doesn’t require friction.

Well it didn’t go as planned but I don’t have any niggles. I haven’t pulled more than 495 this year and I probably was only over 500 a handful of times last year. Went up to 495 easy tonight and went for my next jump at 545 and stalled above my knees. Dropped to 515 but I was too pooped at that point. I need to remember to take smidgen jumps on my pulls. Then they go well. Anyways, I have a new training max and more hips and back work. Thinking about how to set up my next block. Maybe some EMOM, density work.

Nice pressing.  I'm going to try the emom chins this morning.  Figure I'm good for 3.  🤣

Thanks bud. With the chins I'm progressing only when they all feel super clean, full hang, chin over the bar, and adding 5# every time that feels good.
