Yeah, the name’s misleading. They’re actually kinda fun in a little kid ‘I’ll hit you with this stick’ way.

had to google shoulder dislocates and then tried them with my bands at home. They stretched out my shoulders and chest nicely. the name does seem misleading though.[/quote]
Sorry, I should have posted a video. The name is scary, but they feel oh so good don’t they? Like you can actually feel them helping.
For those of you who are like me and prefer to be spoon fed.
You know what, pch2? Doing that would hurt me so bad right now, I would probably bite your head off.

Oh, I forgot about your muscle and bone going through that break up. You are more then welcome to bite my head off. My neck’s pretty tough though, how strong are your teeth?

I feel like just by virtue of being male, you’re assigned more credibility on the mats. If I go anywhere new with any of the guys, I’m assumed to be the GF there to watch.
[quote]shoulder dislocates are my shoulders life…
I am a mobility junky cause I am slowing down, for me…
I am big on the dislocates, band pull aparts, and scap pushups.
Hips are essential to me too I like the 90/90 stretch with all the other crap you do
the three or four thing I do that are lifes blood
are
band pull aparts
OH squats
leg swings
ankle mobility
[/quote]
I had to look up the 90/90 stretch, it reminds me of an Omaplatta warm up we do. It makes sense to add it into a pre training warm up.
Link to 90/90 stretch 90-90 Hip Stretch
The other things I throw in depending on how I feel. What do you do for ankle mobility though? Just circles?
Man, this is the game I want.
Really basic shit, but so well done there’s nothing they can do about it. Cross chokes, arm bar’s from the guard, the hip bump sweep.
Before the match has started you know what you want and just take it, they don’t have a choice.
as far as weightloss goes diet is #1
for workouts complexes and a mix of HIIT and steady state (on different days of course) could be a fun way to mix it up and see what works for you.
you got some good feedback, but you already know how I feel…lose the fat, but maintain the muscle! Do your cardio, keep the diet clean, but LIFT heavy enough to maintain what you got!!
Before it gets lost in time. Stuffs I’ve been doing
Sunday prt 2 BJJ
We worked on what to do if he’s just stalling in your closed guard, so we peeled forward wrists and elbows depending on where they put pressure.
Then we learned some super helpful tips on escaping technical mount. If they’ve adjusted mount while you’re trying to do the Hickson escape, you have to keep the hip pressure. Then switch hips and move towards their feet into an x-guard position. If you lose the hip pressure, bump the knee into a deep half guard and immediately switch your hips.
Monday Prt 2 BJJ
There were a lot of new guys in class, and when that’s true two blue belts can’t work together. My options were guys that were too floppy or too rigid. I went with the too rough MMA guy. Sometimes wrestlers are a pain in the ass to deal with, but at least they don’t just fall over when you push them. I had to be a little rough with the guy I drilled with, but it worked out okay.
We went over standing up from closed guard. After standing we forced them to turtle via a collar grip. Using that collar grip we went for two different loop chokes. One that’s a bit like a Peruvian neck tie, and one like a gator roll.
I asked my question about guard passing that I posted in combat and got a lot of interesting ideas to play with.
I didn’t roll, I can’t lift, do complexes and roll hard all in one day. By the time class was over I was ready for bed.
Tuesday
All I did was BJJ at the college.
It was a new beginner class so we went over a random assortment of things. Tips to keep in mind:
Always stay on your side, it’s when you’re most mobile
Think of side control as a permutation of mount, elbow escape!
If they’re stopping themselves from going to the side, they aren’t stopping themselves from going backwards
When you’re really close to someone they can only hit you as hard as they can hit themselves
Create redundency!
Wends I crashed hard. I need to scale back on something. I slept for 13 hrs and managed to miss everything.

Lots of good info going on in here. I find that being leaner makes me a more effective athlete all around, so I support your endeavors. Good luck with that.
Oh and hai!

re: are you doing enough mobility work; completely up to you. there’s no way for us to know. you shouldnt be tired afterward, if you’re doing it before a workout. if you’re fighting structural issues or discomfort of some kind, do them on off days as well, and do more. either more exercises or more sets. [/quote]
My warm up feels adequate, but then when I was doing no warm up, it felt fine. I don’t really plan off days, they tend to just happen, so maybe I should throw mobility/soft tissue work into the mix of things I can do when I don’t feel like leaving the house.
Yeah I need to do both. Hill sprints on the other hand… maybe if I’m desperate.
Of course I’d like more ass, but my primary goal is making weight, so I’m going to just focus on that. When I get there I can play with changing composition. Of course, I’ll try to lost fat and maintain muscle, but I don’t think I can keep all my muscle and be a functioning human being at 135. We’ll see though, I’m no where close at the moment.
That makes a lot of sense, duh.
I sugar waxed my arms today with the aid of my mom. She’s more than willing to help me rip bits of my self off.
I used
1 C sugar
2 Tbsp Water
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Bring to boil, let cool and then use like wax.

Oh, they look great, smooth is nice. I wonder how long it’ll last. I fully enjoy being a girl, grooming can be so very fun.

The sleep was an accident. My parents are here, so no gym time. Which puts me at 4 days this week with nothing, and eating as my mom deems appropriate. Resistance is futile.
Thursday my parents got here, so I wasn’t able to get any sort of gym time.
Friday I managed to scurry over to the Y before my mom trapped me.
Warm up
The usual
I went for 60 dislocates, I think it’s too much for me to do as a warm up. It really fatigued my shoulders and came back to haunt me later.
6x
5 push ups
15 box jumps
20sec planks
I feel like such a pussy for my weak push up game. It penance for avoiding them for so long. I need to make the box jumps harder, they suck but not really. Next time I’ll either add more or find a taller box. Right now I’m using the smallest baby box. I can hold the plank longer I just didn’t want to, and let myself trick my self with stupid preset goals.
A1) SLSL DL 60x5 ea sidex 5
A2) Split Squats 18lb body bar x 5 ea side x5
B1) MP 25x2x5 20x2x5
B2) Incline push ups 4x5
My shoulders tapped out on me, I couldn’t manage more. I need less of a warm up.
1arm db swings 25x3x30
Then on my walk home it started storming and hailing. I got back drenched to the bone to find a tree had fallen in front of our building. My neighbors car now has a tree in it, fortunately my car was fine.
