On the stereo today: Arcade Fire- Neon Bible. Last week was a good quality one. The sort of week you want to have coming up to an event. Monday Strength Work. The only time I would get to the gym all week so I knew I needed to do something a bit more challenging. Someone … Continue reading
On the headphones today: L.A. Woman- The Doors Monday Flat out doing nothing today. Still carrying a finger injury. No amount of tape was going to make it usable. In any case, most of my heavyweight training partners were off on Monday anyway so I didn’t miss much. In a rare scenario, I did nothing … Continue reading
Now then. There are times I feel like an old fart, telling people to wash behind their ears. But I keep telling people the same things for NoGi: You see anything you disagree with? No? Well a lot of people do, as they spend an disproportionate amount of time on moves that occur a fraction … Continue reading
On the stereo this morning: Houses of the Holy- Led Zeppelin. It was raining yesterday really heavily so I put on Rain Song for my daughter. Music for me is like a time travel device. When I listen to that song, I’m 16 again, and I just bought my new stereo with my first pay … Continue reading
Today on the stereo- Primal Scream- Give Out But Don’t Give Up: The Original Memphis Recordings. My mate tuned me in to this, it’s the mix of the album recorded in Muscle Shoals in Alabama. It’s great. Okay, but what did I do last week aside from listen to obscure mixes of seminal 90s albums? … Continue reading
On the stereo- Kavinsky. On my mind after the Olympics closing ceremony. A tough but instructive week as I upped my conditioning. It’ll be another week before I adapt, so I think it’s going to be more of the same this week. Monday Sparring, first score, 45 minutes. Awful, 1 out of 5 session. For … Continue reading
Yeah so I’ve been a little slack on the blogging. I have still been hitting the gym and rolling, but it’s been interspersed with a couple of holidays and some family stuff. A small update on the goals- I’ll be definitely travelling to the UK Nationals in September, and to the Lisbon Open in October. … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Neil Young- Harvest I was in such a hurry last week that I forgot to log my last session of last week. I did 12 rounds of NoGi on Saturday previous. First NoGi rounds of the year! True story. Okay sooo…. something embarrassing to share first. Monday Morning- Upper Body session. … Continue reading
On the stereo today, a Pearl Jam playlist. Went to see them on Saturday with all the rest of the 40 and 50 something crusty looking 90s grunge fans. Training last week was a bit hit and miss but I’ve got an insight for you. Monday Rested after running the Irish Open. Needed it. Tuesday … Continue reading
On the stereo today as I’m typing- Ezra Collective. Thanks to Dave for the tip. Monday Went to the gym in the morning for some upper body, and all went well until I went overhead for some light presses. Ow, what the hell is that, I said. A pinch behind my shoulder blade. Then I … Continue reading
