Fight Camp Day 3 or 4

I was not able to get a work out in yesterday :-(.  I was stuck at work and my Travel didn't get me in to Pittsburgh really late.  I was able to make it to the gym this morning, even though I wasn't feeling it due to lack of sleep. Here's what I did:

5 minute Concept 2 Rower for warm up
Deadlift 5x5
135 X 5
185 X 5
225 X 5 X 5

Then 5x 1 min hard row then 1 min rest


The hotel I stayed at in Pittsburgh, The Westin, has a great gym.  I'm bummed I'm only finding out about this now.  They have actual barbell free weights, hence the deadlift today.  I plan on making it my regular hotel and will be doing a 5X5 Linear progression of the deadlift and bench.  They only have a smith machine for squatting, so may have to get creative. 

All for now.

Fight Camp Day 2

Tap Cancer Out Jiu Jitsu fundraiser and tournament is March 29, 2020.  I signed up.  I am going to take getting ready for the Tournament seriously.  Yesterday's training:  Jiu Jitsu class.  Today I warmed up with 10 TGU, then 4 with the shoe and 2 with a 15lb KB.  Then I did 50 Russian Kettle Bell swings with a 40 lb bell.  Then 20 minutes on the eliptical (HR kept around 145).  Finally I did one round of 20 prisoner squats (just air squats with your hands behind your head); 15 Push ups; 25 glute bridges; 15 y-raises; and finally 20 lunges.  The lunges are supposed to be jumping and the work out should be three rounds, but I want to ease into this.

Tomorrow will be a run walk 1/1 for 20 min, then will try this mobility work out:

Hindu Squat 25
Hindu Push Up 10
Side Lunge 15ea leg
Supermans 10 w/5s hold at top
Sit Through 20 (10ea direction)
