Discussion
2x group semi personal training per week, running, and riding my bike to the grocery store because I sold my truck to buy sats. Will try jujitsu once I recover from a lower back thing.
!! amazing
been loving biking lately
the best
i am scared of biking. but in amsterdam it was soo fun
It would be beautiful in amsterdam
nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va posts on grappling over the past years made me want to learn more organic forms of self defense. All the options.
Waiting for you to bring it.

I take taekwando lessons with my kids
amazing, grew up doing that with my da. great memories
Dumbbells, walks, Pilates. You??
having a medical moment, inexplicable internal abdominal bleeding… still hitting a few lifts that don’t make it hurt. But mostly just walking a bit, eating clean, reading and trying to recover.
Cannot wait to get back to jiu jitsu and full lifting here in November 🤙
those sound great! love dumbells
Mike Mentzer style high intensity shit. Heavy ass lifts twice a week til failure.
this is the way 💪
What are heavy ass lifts for you?
Depends on the lift.
Bench, Squat and Deadlift?
I still bench. 285 for 8 currently working up to 315. I gave up squatting and deadlift due to a disc issue in my back so I do leg presses and hack squats instead.
Damn that is heavy 👀
I’ve been doing kettlebell swings for a while now and that fixed any back issues I had. Maybe it works for you too.
Big fan of Mike’s workouts!
2+ daily hours of walking outside in natural footwear, daily squats and pushups
High intensity on my bellicon rebounder and barre. At least that’s what I did when I had a will to live. 😂 And CrossFit but the people were too shallow and intolerable.
i don’t know what those things are but sounds awesome.
I think crossfit is really dumb but it makes my mom happy so i’ll tolerate it haha
Mostly just wrestling and lifting a few times a week, how about you?
no way! wrestling?? love wrestling practice man, hardest sport
Yes i'm in my senior year of college, I've been wrestling since 5th grade and this will be my last season.
Were you a wrestler as well? How long have you been into Jitz?
o that’s awesome man! find a bjj gym after that has wrestling practice.
i grew up wrestling in the midwest. my stepdad was a national champ/coach. I wasn’t good at all but was around it a lot.
I’ve been doing bjj as often as possible just over 5 years. with a lot of wrestling classes and grappling for mma classes sprinkled in. it’s my whole social life outside of work
Damn national champ is crazy impressive!
I’ve done a little bjj in the offseasons but definitely thinking I’ll transition to that and maybe some muy thai / mma training post college just to have something to keep working at.
Such a great community of people with combat sports and the awsome thing about bjj is it can be a lifelong discipline.
dude i’m pumped for you. So much endless discovery there. The other cool part is there is jiu jitsu almost everywhere on the planet, and the people are usually interesting and fun
Thanks man, I’m definitely exited to dive into it! love how the UFC has really mainstreamed martial arts I think more people training is a big net positive.
absolutely, just like how the grappling community all grow together you now have almost unified principles across martial arts
Crazy how much martial arts have leveled up in such a short period of time.
But then again it’s kind of an example of how free markets and open competition drives innovation.
When all the arts were siloed there very little improvement but put them all head to head and we can actually figure out what works!
yes, plus the magic of open source / internet
Helene brought down thousands of trees in my neighborhood.
All chainsaw work & log throwing since then, keeps me sore
wow, been there brotha hope it’s going well as can be. at least you get plenty of outside time :)
Barbell and dumbbell lifts. Mostly maintenance, not trying for PRs. Overhead press, deadlifts, bench, squats, along with lying tricep extensions, French press, etc. also, got a standing desk. Made an improvement in my posture
also, tennis with my wife and short runs with my dog.
exercise with others is the best
damn that’s no joke! probably feels awesome to beat your times on those
Living on a boat so very limited with space but doing 30mins a morning of conscious stretching and calisthenics using the body as a weight and loving it. Works well for our environment and makes you feel awesome. Amazed how little you need to do to make yourself feel great. It’s all about POW
Gym and outdoor running most of the time. Biking sometimes. I love the gym but it is always fun to get outside too
definitely!
I am doing this... Though sometimes have several days in between each work out but aiming to shorten gaps, also walking and yin yoga.
Crossfit FTW :-)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5LbbftRaDs
Lifting for progressive overload. Walking a ton and some sprints
Push, Pull, and Legs split. Highly enjoyable. Takes me no more than an hour per workout.
Olympic weightlifting. Got a lifetime PB front squat this week!
Also rucking.
been sussing calisthenics a lot recently. throwing in some runs also. great change up to standard gym
Depends on the mood. Either CrossFit, running, mountain biking.
What's the net good for? Planks?
Or is it more a dual purpose for kids to play as well?
Taekwondo, Weights, rest on Sunday
We all getting fat!
- Walk
- Push Ups
- Pull ups
- Kettle Bells
split squats
pull ups
push ups
dips
dead lifts
large muscle group compound movements that elevate heart rate 🤜🤛
i'm in that phase that i know i should be doing way more than i should, i guess the 30s will teach me in the most brutal way and force me to start doing it.
working on absolute strength and endurance. push, pull, carry, hinge, squat... building from 800m repeats. 10 more weeks and then digging into endurance focus. Probably hot back into BJJ then, too.
Run and strength train
75% resistance training 25% cardio training
4k power-walking daily, 6k cycling daily (to/from work), 3x /week gym full body workout 💪🏼
ACTIVELY teaching/coaching tennis, lifting...either light with BFR cuffs or heavy...swimming, rowing, sauna.
Teach 5 days/week, try to lift/row 3x/week and get one swim in. Shoot for sauna at least 3x/week.
Variable Resistance Training using X3.
Walk the dog most days...
Trying to hit 30 minutes of Zone 2, 6 days a week, with another 30-45 minutes of some form of strength, mixture of bodyweight, machines and/or freeweights.
Following Dr. Attia's cardio protocol with Zone 2 training most days and one/two day a week of Zone 3-4.
Really enjoy High Intensity Training - Mike Mentzer
Push,Pull,Legs is great and simple.
John Meadows has some awesome programs if you have some money to spare. RIP Mountain Dog!
