So update! I was still really struggling last year, and didnt see much benefit from doing weighted exercise, that combined with the temperature (unheated gym) made me stop weight training, and replace it with home gymnastic/bodyweight and kettlebell exercises, which have massively helped knee function. Then this year Ive done 2 major things _ 1) first week of the new year, the knee was strong enough to start running on a treadmill. 2) I've realized my knee strength was too poor to do free weight lifts safely, so ive given in and have started doing isolated knee exercises on machines. So four weeks in and it feels like Ive got the legs of Conan (although reality says thats an alt truth) and my cardio is letting me scramble hard for the majority of an hour, instead of having to roll technically to last instead. New year, New Deadpool!
Excellent. I'm sure my elbow and wrist injuries weren't healing due to weakness and I'll look to strengthen in the next couple of weeks.
New year, new update! So now I'm a parent, I'm training BJJ once to twice a week, depending on kids and work, so I've also joined a local council gym, and I'm using that once a week on top so I'm can keep up with the rehab, strength work and cardio. So far I feel great, and the exercise really helps with the tiredness. And in the summer I'm planking on starting doing small runs too. I'll restart my log this week too hopefully!
Update, now that the sleep patterns have settled down I'm regularly hitting 1) One BJJ class a week 2) One BJJ open mat a week 3) One to Two gym sessions a week. My real life cardio has gone up due to all the rowing, I'm stronger, but my general BJJ skills arnt keeping up with the people training BJJ everyday. So I'm trying to pare down my skill set and focus on only a few things at a time. Currently it's 1) SLX/footlock position, including reaping/anti reaping, 2) closed guard backtakes/anti standing sweeps, and 3) backpostion hand fighting/stopping the stand up. Which will do me for the next few months at least. Ps also escapes, I'm getting plenty of practise at these atm.
So I increased my martial arts training this week, from 3 hours BJJ, to 5 hours BJJ/MMA/wrestling. And it massively showed in my weekend gym work, all my cardio times are down, and I left early today as I had no more gass in the tank. I think I'm gonna have to be careful with extra cardio/weights volume whilst I'm getting used to it.
all that extra time on the mat, your little one's sleep pattern must be pretty good Are you finding any impact on the days your kid wakes randomly in the night?
Ten hours a night, pretty solidly, but with regular broken sleep when teething/nightmares etc. So one session a week training on a OK week, and two on a great week, and none on a bad week, I'm varying it with work shifts, and how tired my partner is, having a late night training, with a super early morning start and potential broken nights sleep = very bad idea!
