Harbard Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks, I really need to start celebrating my records more on the platform.Yes you do. If you never take time to celebrate your achievements, then you start to focus too much on the drive to succeed, and too little on the reason to do it in the first place.

Tankweazel Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Wednesday: Lifting: Working on snatch technique again, going to revisit hangs as a way of keeping my lats tight during the pull.Judo: Some show boating, and reaffirmation that I do have standing game. Standing game is also improved by my swagger.Some transition training also, unless you're a pro from guard you really want to make sure you commit to that tomoe nage. Lots of people getting messed up during transition tonight. However, my show boating of one handed cartwheels left me a little worse for wear. My wrists aren't strong enough in this position.BJJ:Supposed to get some training in with some guys but ended up drinking and discussing what needs to be done while they're in Scotland. Haggis supper and irn bru are a must, stuck for plans on Saturday night though. Plans willl probably involve single malt and live music.Training rescheduled to when the mat is likely to be quiet. 1 Quote "Gentle means tired." Battle Log / Youtube Channel / (lol am an..)
