It's boring as of late. Sometimes I am in the mood for it and sometimes I'm not but I do it anyway. The first few weeks of stretching for an hour everday are pretty good because you make alot of progress. Now I am kind of stagnating and just maintaining flexibility, still making some progress here and there though. I need to change things up I think, I've been doing the same basic routine for over a month now.
If you mean what is it like, like what I do then this is it - I have two blocks of stretches. First one I do hip flexors, hamstrings, glutes and lats. I do that three times through holding from anywhere from 30-90 seconds. Then I do another block 3 times through containing hip adducters, groin, a splits stretch, a different hip flexors, calves, pectoralis, then quadriceps. I do that after weight lifting and BJJ. If it is an off day I warm up for 10-20 minutes then do that. |

Weight was 189.5 today.
![]() All smileys aside, I don't even feel phased in the least bit. I haven't been below 190 is a looooooong time. Well over a year. But it feels good to be light. |

So.......I take it you don't rest much. Would it not be more beneficial to hammer out loads repetively?

Both are good. You are implying conventional sets and RI's, right? I had been doing that for several weeks with my push ups. With chin ups I have been doing ladders because I found they really helped me up my numbers in the past. I wanted to do something new for my push up so I decided to go with the ladders. I don't like to stick to one thing too long. Ladders are great because you get a whole lot of work volume in a short amount of time and the way it is layed out gives you just enough rest to do accomplish the work. It really gets your mind off rest intervals and it is like one huge set, good for improving recovery time and sustained effort.

I feel so tight all the time with the weight training, I can't even touch my toes. It's terrible. I'm going to draw something up and then come back in here and ask what you think about it. |

I just came off my diet tonight...wow. Pork lo mein, fritos, and cheese. CHEESE. This is one of the greatest nights of my life.
I think I will stop at taco bell/kfc tommarow on the way back from BJJ. |

BJJ
10:30-12:30 Drilled arm bar, passing guard, escaping triangle, escaping triangle to knee bar. Then some real time drills escaping/submitting from guard and under side control. Then I rolled with a blue belt for about 10 minutes or so. He submitted me three times with a keylock but for the most part it was competitive. |

He weighs pretty much the same, slightly heavier I think. He has been training about two years. I tried not using too much strength. I haven't been trying to bridge people over as much as I used to. He actually told me that he was trying to use too much strength himself and I was countering and that was making him tired. It was a good roll but I still had so much more in me. I was ready for another 10 minutes.

Got sick yesterday. Just a general feel of lethargy and a scratchy throat. I skipped BJJ today. Hopefully I'll snap out of this by friday. I pulled an all nighter at a party over the weekend and trained the next day without much sleep, I think that is what did me in.
I will just train grip and stretch today. |

BJJ 10:45-12:30
Worked on arm bar from mount, chokes from mount, bridging from being mounted to their guard. There was only one other person there today besides me and the instructor. One of the guys from the gym had a fight last night so people were out late to that and plus there was a time change. I got to roll with the instructor at the end. He is a purple belt that is on his tenth year. He submitted me with a triangle choke and then some neck crank. We rolled for about 6 minutes, so I felt pretty good about only getting submitted twice. I rolled with the other kid that was there. He weighes 145 so I never feel threatened and I controlled most of the time. I was trying to use as much technique as possible without using too much strength. I secured an arm bar at one point and let him go. The head instructor asked me if I wrestled before. Always get that question. I said no, he said my movement looked good. Good day overall. After I got home I stretched and drilled some basic stuff. Worked on my kip ups some more. Today is also my first day coming back from being sick for 5 days. I felt well. My conditioning hasn't really been tested that much in BJJ yet. |

You outweighed me for a year or two. I've slowly gotten up to almost 190 and now am cutting from a low B.F. Nice to see your stretching routine. |
