Training Log: Entry 2677

PM WORKOUT

5 minutes of rope skipping

10 rounds on the BAS (2 minute rounds, 45 seconds of rest, boxing for the first round, boxing and kicks for all others,16oz gloves for first 5 rounds, MMA gloves for last 5)

5 minutes rope skipping

A few stray thai kicks



Notes: Filming from this angle was helpful as I realize how very little trunk power I'm using on the punches.  If I start twisting a little, I'm bound to get some more out of it.  A few short hooks and uppercuts looked solid, but I'm robbing myself of power.  Surprised at how decent the right leg roundhouse was looking.  I'm not turning my hip over as much as I'd like, but it's still decently fluid.  Left is significantly less so, but that doesn't shock me.

Need to find kick range: was hitting with my instep a lot.  My TKD is showing.  Did throw some snappy roundkicks with the lead leg a few times in my combos.

Got a good sweat out of this, and the product holds up.

However, the most important part is I can still fit into my 2005-era Sprawl shorts without as much muffin topping

  1. Looking great dude, is this level of body composition normal for you now? I want to say early 2000s lifters are physically peaking in their 30s now that we're no longer stuffing our faces with garbage 24/7, haha.

    1. Thanks dude! I'm actually still coming down from some weight gaining I did in prep for a comp in April, but I'm a lot leaner at this bodyweight than I normally am. It's definitely taking significantly less effort to be lean in my 30s than it was in my 20s. And man, it WAS nice to be able to eat that way in the 20s, haha. Crazy how long you and I have been at this.
