I began getting some pimple looking things on my knee that look like bacterial warts or something. I was at the doctor this morning getting a checkup and he said it's just dry/irritated skin (from not wearing kneepads) and could be ingrown hairs or whatnot. Nothing serious. Awesome! Feww

Anyway here are my workouts for today:

5pm- Explosive Strength Workout

A1 Switch-grip Pull ups 4x10
A2 Squat Jumps (25 pd dumbell in each hand) 4x12
B1 Full Body Explosive Push up 4x10
B2 Lunge Jumps 4x12
C1 Clap Pull ups 4x8 (hurt my wrists)
C2 Weighted Ankle hops (20 pds in each hand) 4x20
D Thick Bar Pullups (wrap towel around pull up bar to make it thicker- it will blast the forearms)- 3x7

The main focus with explosive strength workouts is the EXPLOSIVENESS. Anyone doing these workouts to build up their explosive strength shouldn't do reps until failure. He/She should do just enough to be able to have explosive energy in each rep. Simplified: Quality over quantity.

8:30- Bjj practise. Wrestling tonight I think. Update: awesome practise. Really worked my cardio (we were doing king of the mat). Whew...shit gets me goin. My wrestling still needs a lot of work, I'm going to incorporate 2 wrestling workouts a week.

TRIANGLE NOTES: As soon as you get a triangle start pulling on the head right away and moving your hips away constantly while adjusting your triangle to get it tight.
