Push day

Yes, I'm doing it a day early this week.

Bench press 3x 6-8
CG press 2x 6-8
Over head press 3x 8-10
Hack squat 3x 8-10


* Need to move up in weight next time in overhead press, and hack squat. Atleast 10lbs extra on the hack squat.

** I took a few days off this weekend and last of the week last time so thats why no posts. I also forgot to update a few things. Wednesday at BJJ/MMA I busted my nose a bit and hurt my rib again so I had to take some time to heal up. My rib isn't that bad but its going to keep me away from contact for a bit, I highly doubt I go to MMA this week and might not go to BJJ. Someones weight on me in rolling or even technique drilling may hurt it worse and make the small injury into a big one. Of course, I'm no stranger to hurt ribs as this makes the 3rd time I've cracked one or seperated it.

So I've been taking it easy and will continue to for a bit. I am really burnt out on everything anyway. I'm always stressing and worrying about workouts and spend most of my free time making sure I'm getting the right amount of cardio, weight training, skill training, etc in. It's a lot to deal with when you work shitty hours and a lot of them. I'm not giving up on anything, I think I have a good future in fighting if I choose it. I'm not meaning to sound unsure about it, but I want to take a step back and relax a bit. If I don't, I will burn myself completely out in the long run. There is no reason to rush things and I have plenty of time to learn and get my training in. A week or two break here and there won't hurt me, Its time to RELAX and have a life outside of all of this. I know for a long time Ive talked about how bad I've wanted this and how I felt I was meant for it. But, all of the effort wears thin on anything after awhile no matter how much you love it. I just need some rest here and there and I'm not going to feel guilty about it anymore. If this is something I decide not to do down the road, I tell you, it will be GREAT just lifting a few times a week and doing cardio a few times and nothing else haha. No more circuits, sprints, this and that and this and that to make sure my bases are covered - just lifting and some cardio.

Anyway enough rambling. I just need a break from intense training 6-7x a week. I'm not even looking forward to mma classes anymore it seems I hit road blocks here and there and on top of that get injured from hard sparring all the time and I really want to focus on more technique at this point in time. Part of that is the pressure I put on myself to always do great even when I spar against people with a lot more experience and size on me. But IDK, maybe will start looking into a new gym down the road that possibly fits me better.
