Class was well attended. Brian taught two takedowns from from a grip break to Russian tie to arm drag. Then he covered a DLR guard pass. Sam smashed me in our deathmatch after class.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sunday Lori and I went to the Judo New York Open at the NYAC. It was super fun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Monday we deadlifted and Lori maxed out with 200 lbs. I went to train that night, and we warmed up with double legs and then practiced the flower sweep. Trained ok. Good turnout and good class.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Brian cleared up some questions about passing half-guard after class.</div>

I feel like I trained like shit and was frustrated with myself. But that's what makes it jiu-jitsu.

Deadlifted with Brian and Eli, which was fun.<br />
<div>

<div>
Open mat was fun, I trained a couple of times with Sam, with not much thought to working on anything in particular. I feel like my top pressure game is coming back faster than my guard game.</div>

I'm going to give it another week and if the swelling hasn't gone down I'll take it to the doc. My thighs are super sore and tight from a leg workout I did on Monday. And I have a new injury! I lifted last night before my bi-weekly Shadowrun game and managed to strain my neck whilst performing a dumbell bench press.<br /><br />It hurts to turn my head to the left or to put my left ear towards my shoulder. So that sucks. I'll probably still go to class tonight but definitely no training AT ALL, and I might have to be careful what I drill even. I should be ok as long as we don't practice something crazy, like the inverted guard, or how to avoid getting stacked from the triangle choke. I'm a little worried; I've heard so many horror stories about neck injuries that never go away. I'll probably be fine in a week, but I'm paranoid about messing up a disk or something.<br /><br />In other news, I bought some protein from proteinfactory.com, and it should be arriving soon. I'm looking forward to lifting and putting on some muscle. Not being able to train means less calories burnt in class, which means I may be able to gain some weight finally.Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13252860416049194706noreply@blogger.com5
