3) OHP 50kg 3x2, 1m/set.
4) Front Squat 75kg 3x2, 1m/set.

1) Techniques: over-under pass. Details (keep hips flat, tripod with tippy toes, hide the near side arm, high with the underhook). Reactions to kimura attempts or half guard lock.

SUN: ENDURANCE
1) 2 x 2.4km (1.5mile) runs at 90pct effort, 5m apart. 11:44 (148bpm), 11:25 (160bpm). Not great but keep plugging.

lunchtime
1) Deep half sweeps. A: basic lapel trap to double under pass. B: variation of waiter sweep with pant grab instead of waiter hook, shin insert and a foot on his knee ala spider guard style. This worked really well for me.
2) 4 x 6m rolls. Very sharp today from both the top and bottom.
TUE: WEIGHTS & LIGHT ENDURANCE
lunchtime
1) 350 calorie AirDyne Ride. Relaxed. 29:17, 115bpm. I suspect the Fitbit Surge is pretty crap with HR monitoring for things like the Airdyne actually.
2) OHP x3 up to 60kg, 2m/set. I just need to nail 57.5kg x5 to get to move TM up.
3) Push Press x2 for 67.5kg. Well because the bar was loaded up to here...
4) Trap Bar DL (High Handles) x3 up to 150kg, 2m/set. Nail 142.5kg x5 to move TM up.

2) BP x3 up to 90kg. 2-3m/set. The 3rd rep on 90kg went up with a real griiiind... but up it went. I gotta say, it feels harder than the 85kgx5 that is supposedly my PR. Nonetheless, move up TM to 102.5kg.
3) 30 EMOM of 5x mix of ball slam/twist toss/upward wall toss with 18kg slam ball. It’s 150 ball tosses in total. Not easy but not hard either. Reckon can add more reps next time.
4) 10mins walk with 18kg slam ball.

2) Rest of day is active recovery, sprinkling sessions with the baseball/foam roller.

HRV reading showed I was under recovered today. Hmm, surprised as I had rest, good sleep and no alcohol. Shall monitor.

1) Push Press 2s up to 62.5kg. Moving up the TM.
2) Front Squats 5s up to 80kg.
3) Chinups 13-7-7.

It ain't what you don’t know that gets you into trouble.
It's what you know for sure that just ain’t so.
