Cardio and Squats

Cardio

20 mins 70-80%

Leg 5/3/1

Hack squats 3 x 3,3,5


* Yeah, thats it, work has been taking up most of my time and other errands have been taking my mornings so I've been having to do my cardio late at night. I decided to do the main lift in my 5/3/1 on leg day and do it a day early. I'm trying to get a day of rest in sometime but IDK if that is going to happen. Cardio tomorrow and HOPEFULLY time for sprints. I need to do more sprints!! After BJJ weds night, we rolled a lot to prepare for Rodrigo Gracies seminar. My cardio was great! I didnt get tired at all, no muscles were wore out, wasn't breathing hard or sweating much. I've been noticing this quite a bit lately. I've been staying very active while rolling too, not stalling at any point. I love this! For the longest time it seemed like, It was always do a good job then boom gassed out and submitted. Same in boxing, do good briefy then I'd get tired and eat punches till class or sparring was over. It's nice that all my extra cardio and time spent conditioning is paying off. I have to try to get atleast 2 sessions of sprinting in per week though, I really have to make time for that. I could be doing a lot more than what I am, and recently have dropped my tabata sprints 4x a week to 1x if that, and my 30min aerbic cardio to 20 mins. I done so to make time for longer sprinting sessions, barbell complexes, and skill work - so I have to make sure I'm doing all those things.

- Also I need to make sure I'm pushing the weight in this routine I'm doing. I couldve went way past 3 reps I feel tonight but didn't.

- Been making more BJJ classes and really happy about it. BJJ is def. going to be my bread and butter. On weeks like this, I have to try my best and get up early to go to classes before work on Saturday. I hope I can.

- Lots more to talk about, but rushed of course and need to try to get some sleep tonight, tomorrow is going to be a long day. 1pm-10pm shifts Fri and Sat.
