Pretty happy with the SQUAT work, all things considered. Beat my PR set rep total by one. and tied my 1RM during the Joker sets. Given that I haven’t been able to squat more than 270 since a minor hip injury during Week 3 of my last cycle, I’m okay with not getting the hoped-for three-plate squat by year’s end.

Trained jiu-jitsu tonight a few hours after weight training. Tutored the first class, got in three eight-minute rounds of Live Training in the second. Nothing too challenging or strenuous. But nice to get back on the mat for some training after what feels like weeks without LT.
This is the last time I’ll do resistance training and jiu-jitsu training on the same day. It’s not an issue physically. But it wreaks havoc on my work schedule late in the day. With 2x/week and even 3x/week training, I can pretty easily avoid two-a-days as a regular thing. For that, among many things, I am looking forward to training in 2019.
