SUMMARY:
~7h of training
~ 13 units of alcohol, a bit much this week due to some gatherings.
Proving to be difficult to book BJJ sessions due to limits on number of pax per session. Next week looks like a single bjj session as well at this point.

2 x 4min Tabata Style Finisher with BW lower body ex.

1700: E <30min>
C-Stadium. 5x200m ~40sec per repeat (1min rest).
Alcohol: 5units

WED: BJJ
1700: BJJ <1h>
Somehow it was 8min rounds from standup all the way, no guard pulling. I’m trashed.

THU: STR + E
0900: STR <40min>
BP 7x65, 75, 75, 85, 5x85kg
TBDL 5x115, 5/3/2x155kg
Core work. 3min plank.
1700: E <45min>
2x7min threshold runs with 2 min slow recovery jog in between. 4:46min/k and 4:54min/k respectively. Sandwiched with 10min warmup/cooldown jogs.
Remarks: Did not feel strong today for STR session, prob under-recovered from BJJ yesterday. Dropped volume a little. Felt pretty crap during the E session too. Need a light/rest day.
Alcohol: 8 units

FRI:  RECOVERY
1800: E lite <30min>
4k walk/jog z1 7:17m/k, 128ahr. Felt good.

SAT: BJJ + STR
1200: BJJ <1.5h>
Lots of hard rolling. Overall I was happy with my form today but some stuff to work on while passing guard.
1700: STR <15min>
SQ 1x10, 8x5 72.5kg

SUN: REST

~Trg hours: ~7h
~Alcohol: 13 units. Still too much.

I seem to have settled into something that works in terms of eliciting improvements and yet not take away my energy from life.
2 STR sessions done 5/3/1 style, hitting a press, sq, hinge, pullup. Because I am hitting each lift only once a week, I can crank up the volume.
1 ACC session fluff and buff, BW + Kettlebells (optional, usually if I can’t get in 2 BJJ)
2 E sessions, nothing too heavy.
2 BJJ sessions (seems to be 1 that I can book reliably, the other 1 is a crap shoot)
1 Yoga session
So about 7 training sessions into 5 days seems to be sweet spot.

Also, I have been evaluating my stats and I feel that I am generally reached my strength goals but a bit off my endurance ones. I will run out the current strength cycles until I plateau then I will work hard at getting to the E stds I want.

2 x 4min Tabata Style Finisher with BW lower body ex.
1700: E <1h>
E: Q Stadium. 10k z2 run. 6:03min/k 142 ahr.
Remarks: Weights felt heavy today, prob due for a reset soon. Endurance session felt pretty good though.

TUE: STR + E lite
0900: STR <30min>

C-Stadium. 4x250m ~51sec per repeat (1.5 min rest).

WED: E
1730: E <1h>
LT test (162 bpm, 5:19k/min pace) & recovery jog around 30min. Improved by 9sec/min vs my last LT test in Jun21.
GTG: ~25 pullups total.
Remarks: Failed to book BJJ today. O well.

THU: REST
GTG: ~23 pullups total.
Alcohol: 8 units. Ouch. Too old for this.

FRI: STR + RECOVERY
0900: STR <45min>
BP 3x75,85,97.5, 5x80/85kg.
TBDL 3x115, 155, 162.5, 162.5kg.

10k ruck 10kg 10:26min/k pace. Took a 10min break in the middle. Been awhile, felt much harder than I expected.
GTG: ~31 pullups total
Alcohol: 2 units

SUN: RECOVERY
0700: RECOVERY
60min z1 recovery jog 6:45min/k 126ahr (it's a lot easier when you are not hungover)

~Trg hours: approx 8h
~Alcohol: 10 units
~GTG: 101 pullups this week

SUMMARY:
Quick thoughts about LT pace/hr. In JUL21 I ran a 5k at 4:54min/k @167ahr. My threshold HR/pace test in JUN21 was 5:28min/k @162ahr. Now that I shaved 9sec/k off my LT pace I wonder if my 5k will move up by the same? Less? How much less? Purely academic as I have no inclination to go max out on a 5k anytime soon (I think).

In other news, no BJJ for a month as we go into lockdown again. FML.

You deserve credit for calling this a "notebook" instead of the redundant "log." Also you deserve credit for recording the units of alcohol. Sorry to learn about the lockdown.

thanks for the kudos. for the alcohol - it is the one vice that I still allow myself but also cognisant that my average intake has definitely gone up in the last 2 years, and I want to make sure I am getting what I pay for (ie I enjoy the odd drink, but not so much that if it cocks up my sleep and training effect too much).

as for the lockdown, it is more like a semi lockdown, the gyms are kinda still open but with crazy restrictions so it is going to be 50/50 if i can get in any bjj at all. thank goodness for the home gym in times like this!

=w40/27 sep start, E=
MON: STR
0900: STR <45min>
SQ 1x8, 8x4 85kg
Parallette Pushups 12x10
RDL 5x10 40kg
Core Work
Remarks: Very light weights on RDL to start. I remember I did 5x8 70kg and it gave me DOMS for days.

TUE: STR + E
0900: STR <20min>
Inc Row 5x12
Pullups 5x8
1700: E <20min>
2k warmup. 10x400m 1:54 (4:46min/k pace), 1min rest. Managed only 2 repeats of 400m before session got rained out. Oh well!
Remarks: Experiencing pretty serious DOMS in pecs/triceps from the 12 sets of 10 parallette pushups. Yeah, what the heck right? Bench press just trains a lower ROM so I clearly had muscles that were lagging way way behind.

WED: BJJ + E
1200: E <1h>
15min of Threshold running at 5:17min/k pace. 25min total warmup/cooldown at z1-2.
1730: BJJ <1h>
Only 1 partner due to COVID rules. Did many rounds of specific and then a couple rolls. As fun as it gets under the circumstances.
Alcohol: ~4 units

THU: STR (easy day)
0900: STR <45min>
SQ 85kg 1x8, 2x4
1KBP 1x1/2/3/4/5 28kg
RDL 5x10 45kg
Core Work
1700: E lite <45min>
Q-Stadium. 6k z2 run. 6:02min/k 136ahr. Was a good performance. Weather was nice and cool which definitely helped.

FRI: STR + E VLite (easy day)
0900: STR easy <20min>
Inc Row 5x8
Pullups 5x5
1700: E VLite <30min>
30min Elliptical
Alcohol: ~1 unit

SAT: MOBILITY + E
1000: Yoga <1h>
1700: E <1h 20 min>
13km Run Walk z2 max 6:05min/k pace. I did this by running 1k, walking until my HR recovered to z1 and then running again. Surprisingly it is virtually the same time and average HR as running it all the way and it feels much easier doing it this way.

SUN: REST
Alcohol: ~2 units

Training hours: ~8h
Alcohol: ~7 units

Good week of training. BJJ will be hit/miss for a month due to social distancing measures. I will take what I can get.
