OVERVIEW
Great workout. My new lifting buddy felt a totally new kind of pain.
I usually do 135 lbs. for the Burpee Cleans but since this was the guys first time ever doing Cleans I didn't want to kill him and F' up his form. I just used the same weight he did and tried to go faster. We worked on a progression warm up where we did a set of Deads, then a set of Hanging High Pulls, then from the ground High Pulls, then hanging Cleans then the whole sha-bang. He did very good for his first time but he was not loving life after the 3 round.
It was a great workout and it was great having someone around to motivate you and vice versa.
Muay Thai class was awesome. I was feeling great. My punches felt so strong and my hip rotation is getting very clean. The guy I was working with, how was about my size, even commented and said how my punches seemed very strong all the way to the end of class. Grappling class was great I got to work with a guy I haven't seen in a month or so. BJJ was even better. I got to spar with the black belt to help him training for a World Grappling Championship tournament. This guy is about 155 and there is definitely a reason he is a black belt. Man he was so amazing. I learned a lot about my game and what I need to work on. All and all it was one of the best workout days I've had in a while.
I think switching gears to more endurance work and less "muscle building" work is helping me recover more and giving my body a chance to heal, like a deload. Till next time.
