Yesterday evening one of the strength and conditioning athletes Aubrey and her mom invited a few of us to come train at their gym. This was the first time practicing Judo and I loved it. I appreciate the opportunity to be involved in the skills application side of strength and conditioning 🙏🏼 it also helps give me ideas as to how it translates into strength and conditioning. (The first thing I thought of was sledge hammer slams on a tire 💯 )

The most I’d ever tried to push was 355. Today I tried to push to see how far I could go, I made it half way and back with 445 lb today I built up adding one plate each round (down and back) 1)175 2) 220 3) 265 4) 310 5) 355 6) 400 7) 445 (1/2 way down and back) Shout out to @Brandon Hagans for giving me that extra tough co-worker coach push

5k for time. Went a little longer. Chipped away a little from the previous 5k. Body still not used to running 😂

Today was a mental toughness day for sure. Kids sick, up and down all night. Whoop gave me a 8% recovery 😂 in the bathroom repeatedly today myself. Today’s task was a 2 mile run. Knees feeling good from a few days of recovery and adjusted exercises. Cool outside and spitting rain. 2 miles in just over 30 minutes. Body felt good running, but slowed to a power walk when I would start feeling my breathing getting out of control and heart rate getting too high. Got it done.

Back for another day of compound work. Getting stronger my friends . Still have to work on my diet. Eating too many carbs, not enough protein.
