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
I did not think I’d get to 13 on this. I’m notorious for dropping things in the middle of them. Nothing on the stereo today. I’m standing at my desk with the back doors swung wide enjoying some silence. Monday Gym in the morning, heavy upper body session. I didn’t track everything I did but … Continue reading
On the stereo today: Are You Experienced?- Jimi Hendrix Last week I was still on the tail end of a sinus infection, so didn’t get too much done. Still, not a bad week. Big thing was that I got an inversion table to hang from to help my back. Like anything like this, it’s hard … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Afghan Whigs- 1969 I’m standing typing this as I’m adjusting my life a little with the news that I’ve got a back condition. We probably all have a low back issue to some degree, but we just put it down to being stiff or old. We never attend to it and … Continue reading
So I’ve come to the end of a 12 week project and despite the result of the event, I’m pretty happy. I lost on Saturday very narrowly. I felt I had a little more in me, and to be honest, it was a match I could have won. But these things happen, and I’m not … Continue reading
On the stereo: Depeche Mode- Playing The Angel Because of my Daughter’s Communion this weekend, and logging Monday’s session last Tuesday, I actually only have one Jiu Jitsu session to log this week, Wednesday’s. An unusual circumstance, but I’m happy with it. Tuesday Logged a decent Strength session in Kyuzo despite being pretty tired from … Continue reading
Listening to Temple of the Dog as I’m writing this. I think I wanted to be Chris Cornell when I was about 16. Overall last week was really good. I’m still trying to keep a lid on my lower back injury and I’m having some decent success. Conditioning good. Strength dropping by about 5% or … Continue reading
On the stereo this morning: Mercury Rev- Deserter’s Songs. An album that reminds me of a mate who used to knock into my house with a burned CD for me and say “You’ve got to listen to this man…” Last week was truncated. I was running the IBJJF Dublin International so I knew I’d only … Continue reading
