It's possible that every dog has a little kitty in them somewhere.

I think there's a deep philosophical message in there somewhere

I've been busy covering brushfires down here. Damn those arsonists - Goob, you weren't here anytime last week were you (

)?

5/12/08:
BJJ:
1 Hour

"Omo-plata day" - that's what Joel (instructor) called it. We drilled 2 variations of the omo-plata. I still suck at shoulder rolls, but they're getting better. I rolled for about 10 minutes with Joel at the end of class - fun, but frustrating since he demands I go through everything step by step - good in a way since then I have to really learn all the details of all the moves I'm trying to pull.

Calories - 3400

5/13/08:
BJJ:
1 Hour

Drilled the guys who are participating in the upcoming tournament by forcing them to try and pass our guards. I gave my guys a slightly harder time than usual! We did these guard passing drills for about 40 minutes.

I got to roll a bit with one of the heaviest guys (other than me I think he's the heaviest one there), he's also not that bad. We rolled for 5 or 10 minutes, I got submitted once, then he tried to get me again and I just kept reversing his chokes and tying up his legs in spider guard and slipping him back into my full guard. He's a big boy, but I had all the leverage I needed to control him with my feet.

No BJJ, just went to bed early and got some rest (it is a rest week after all).

Calories - 2900- I ended up skipping my last meal, I don't like doing that, but I thought I could use a slight change since I wasn't really going to be needing all that much for the rest of the day.

I lost 4 of the 8.5 pounds I gained last time and still lost mm’s on the caliper. I pretty much maintained, so it is neither good nor bad.

A friend of mine raised 5 of them and brought 3 over to play with us at my BJJ school (in the parking lot). They were some of the nicest, most loyal and ugliest (cool looking) dogs I've ever been around. I just want to be able to walk down the street and watch the people stare.

We'll see what the future holds though, I'm moving in a couple months and I'd have to first see if the place I'll be in allows dogs and what kind of dogs. Maybe I'll just volunteer to do some work in an animal shelter or help train some pit bulls (or other dogs). I really just want to be able to be around the animals more and take care of them. I can't have kids, but I can have puppies

Friday:
Cardio - 45 minutes HIIT

10 minutes on a bike - levels 14-20 - 30 seconds at level 20 - PR for endurance.

20 minutes Farmers Walks - 60 lb dbs - 500 paces - up and down stairs (25 total each way), rest for 1 minute and repeat 5 times. Then standard walks for 10 minutes averaging 60 paces followed by a 60 second rest repeated 5 times.

5 minutes on a rowing machine.

5 minutes on an elliptical trainer at levels 3 and 13. 1:10 at level 13.

5 minutes on a treadmill at a speed of 2.5-4.0 mph. I kept it kind of slow because of the problems I've had in the past.

I felt like I was flying after those farmers walks. Nothing like throwing on an extra 120 pounds and running around with it. Makes me feel like I'm floating when I put the weight down.

10 minutes on a bike.

20 minutes for farmer's walks - again. 65 lb dbs. I hauled them up and down 25 stairs resting for 60 seconds at the bottom = 8 minutes total time (4 runs). The I walked the floor (sort of race walking though) for 12 minutes. I ended up with a total of 645 steps taken, 200 steps on the stairs and 445 on the floor.

Total cardio time for this week is 3 hours 15 minutes

Sunday:
Legs Power Week 1:

Hip Abductions: RI - 30 | 185x10, 195x10, 205x10

Hip Adductions: RI - 30 | 185x10, 195x10, 205x10

Sumo Style Deadlift: RI - 90 | 275x5, 325x1, 335x1 PR for Weight - not the best but I forgot to bring my straps so everything was done with a double overhand grip. I nearly lost my grip on the 325 set so I stopped after the first one. I blame the farmer's walks from the last two days for the weaker grip, but I still did very good considering!

Superset: RI - 90 |
1 - Leg Press | 540 (6 plates per side) x 10, 630 (7 plates) x 10, 720 (8 plates) x 5 PR for Weight

2 - Calf Press - on Leg Press Sled | 540x10, 630x10, 720x10 PR for Weight

Shin Work | 70 lbs x 4 sets x 20 reps

Cardio - 20 minutes
10 minutes on a bike.
10 minutes ab circuit.
30 minutes stretching/BJJ drills

I'm happy to be back on the power cycle again! I feel pretty good about things, and even though I had problems with my deadlifts, everything ran pretty smooth. I met a new guy there, not available, but a nice guy anyways, he played baseball at UCF for the last 4 years and looks great (

). We talked about things for a little while, he was really cool.

One of the guys there noticed me pushing 720 pounds on the leg press and looked kind of shocked - he's one of my trainer friends. He was there working out with a buddy, who also looked impressed. That made me feel better.

tallcall · 05-20-2008, 01:02 PM

BJJ:
1 Hour:

Learned a choke from the De La Riva guard. Sort of a variation on a guillotine choke. One hand grabs deep into the lapel with the wrist going across the neck, pull the head under that arm's elbow and push head down with other hand sliding that hand under your elbow as well and pull and twist your wrist while pushing down on the head. A nice simple collar choke. This can be used to iniate a sweep which can also end in mount with his head still trapped under your elbow, then just pull with that arm and lift up with that elbow against the head slightly, tap tap tap. I love that one.

One of my friends went to last weekend's Copa America tournament. He beat his first opponent within 90 seconds. All sweeps were legal, so he did a sort of double under hip toss, the guy landed on his shoulder, complained to the ref and asked for a time out, the ref said no time outs and asked if the guy was forfeiting. Of course he said no and the fight was restarted on the feet. My friend again took him down the exact same way, they scrambled and the guy got in my friends guard, he switched up to De La Riva guard and pulled off that choke. The other guy didn't even see it coming.

My friend lost the other matches to points, but was really a winner since now he knows what he must do next time to succeed.

My teacher fought as well and won due to points but incurred a leg injury, he nearly fractured his leg. I'm not sure how that all went down, but I know there was some bad blood between some of them including my teacher well after that match. My friend told me he thought there was going to be a brawl afterwards. The other guy was taking a lot of jabs at my teacher in Portuguese until he was shown the video of the fight and realized his fighter really did lose. My teacher had a hard time walking, but walked all the way over to the other guy then decided to just let it all go instead of creating a mess (that takes some guts

). I hope someone has some video of it all, I'd like to see it.

BJJ:
1 Hour:

We covered 2 escapes from side control.

I rolled with one of the strongest guys there and actually did very well against him.

The place I'm renting is going through foreclosure and I'm going to have to move within the next 30 days. I'm hoping to be able to find a small apartment for a few months until I can get into something more permanent. God I hope this all ends smoothly!

Calories - Estimateing at 4000 - When I start going crazy like I have been for the last two or three days I tend to forget how much I'm eating and usually can't stand to see food. I think I'm near 4000, but I missed some food this morning and this afternoon. This all really just sucks!

tallcall · 05-22-2008, 01:41 AM

BJJ:
1.5 hours

We drilled a lot of the things on our belt tests for Green and Blue. Mostly did some sweeps, transitions, reversals, and escapes (or as Thiago says "Scapes" - I guess it works). It was cool of those guys to go over those with a few of us since we all are going through it.

For the main class we covered more escapes from side control. Both of them allowed for the transition from being in someone's side control to either taking their back or taking half guard/mount. I loved these because of their simplicity.

Calories - ~3700

tallcall · 05-23-2008, 10:45 PM

BJJ:
1 Hour

We did more side control escapes and transitions. I got to roll with the teacher first and successfully rolled out of a clock choke of his twice and almost a third time before the timer went off. He rolled with me the last time and I was saved by the bell. Later he said that I flew twice that night and rolled smoothly from a very bad situation to a position where, if I had pushed a little more, I could have had mount.

I rolled with the other two guys as well and did pretty well against both of them. I think I tapped out only to the teacher and the last guy who is considered a pro fighter. His record is officially 1-0-0 and he is looking for his next sanctioned fight. He was going to fight this weekend in Costa Rica with Cage Warriors under Renato Tavares, but his opponent got injured and decided to give up his spot, so he had no one and no one would take it at such short notice. So I think he'll just wait until August or November and get back in there.

I rolled with one of the strongest guys there and actually did very well against him. The place I'm renting is going through foreclosure and I'm going to have to move within the next 30 days. I'm hoping to be able to find a small apartment for a few months until I can get into something more permanent. God I hope this all ends smoothly! Calories - Estimateing at 4000 - When I start going crazy like I have been for the last two or three days I tend to forget how much I'm eating and usually can't stand to see food. I think I'm near 4000, but I missed some food this morning and this afternoon. This all really just sucks!

Mostly did some sweeps, transitions, reversals, and escapes (or as Thiago says "Scapes" - I guess it works). It was cool of those guys to go over those with a few of us since we all are going through it. For the main class we covered more escapes from side control. Both of them allowed for the transition from being in someone's side control to either taking their back or taking half guard/mount. I loved these because of their simplicity. Calories - ~3700

I got to roll with the teacher first and successfully rolled out of a clock choke of his twice and almost a third time before the timer went off. He rolled with me the last time and I was saved by the bell. Later he said that I flew twice that night and rolled smoothly from a very bad situation to a position where, if I had pushed a little more, I could have had mount. I rolled with the other two guys as well and did pretty well against both of them. I think I tapped out only to the teacher and the last guy who is considered a pro fighter. His record is officially 1-0-0 and he is looking for his next sanctioned fight. He was going to fight this weekend in Costa Rica with Cage Warriors under Renato Tavares, but his opponent got injured and decided to give up his spot, so he had no one and no one would take it at such short notice. So I think he'll just wait until August or November and get back in there. Calories - 3600
