1/28

2 hour seminar with Mickey Swafford, a bb out of the Gracie lineage. Amazing experience. Great technical work. I love it when I work with someone who can point out a particular point about a movement that I've been using for years and instantly make it better. Seriously, it makes you feel like you don't know anything about the game.

Drilled countering side and scarf, back mount as well. Achivieng comfort in bad spots.

40 min free roll

1/29

3 miles on treadmill

pull ups

rows

1/29 - 1/30 total rest

1/31 Superfoot routine and hip stretching.

Maybe a light hojo undo routine to check if my shoulder is ready for tomorrows BJJ

(I'll do some moves and wait to see how shoulder reacts. Pain comes later, not while training.)

Deffley B

Dead lift: warmup: 135x5, 225x5, 315x3; work: 335x3, 340x5x3

Push press: warmup: 45x5, 95x5, 115x3, 135x2; work: 161.2x5x5

Rack pulls: 385x3x5

I bought some 2" washers to use for fractional plates, especially for the upper body lifts. Loved them tonight.

Dead lift is coming along very well since the deload. I'm consistently locking out the weight, and I am beginning to feel more explosive in pulling, even in the later sets. The rack pulls are helping, too.
