Hitting 285 on the squats. Bench press is 160. Nothing else exciting to report.

Gotta eat more and train more. Time to go grocery shopping.

Training is going good. HIIT today, followed by some shadow boxing. Squatting 275 with good form. Gonna hit 280 tomorrow. Checked out the UTA gym last week, and it's awesome. Gonna try to enroll in the spring so I can get access to that. They've got a martial arts room free to use.

It's midnight. I went for a run this morning (Saturday morning). 1.65 miles in 16 minutes, including my warm up and cool down jog. Much slower than normal, but I haven't really pushed myself in a couple weeks, so now I'm gonna shift gears.

Short martial art workout Friday night. "Martial art" conditioning is so much different from "running" conditioning. You can be the best runner in the world, but if you haven't done bag-work at all (or even in a long while), you will get wiped out fast. I shouldn't just lift weights and run. I need to keep the "tools" sharp.

Jiu-jitsu class last night was brutal. I wish I could go more.

I had a cup of green tea before my workout. It gave me a huge boost of energy! This will be my new ritual.

TCC, 1:00 PM

Did a light jog on the treadmill. About 1.5 miles in 15 minutes.

It's been more than 2 years since I've updated this blog. Due to my college P.E. class, I've been more motivated to keep track of my progress and record my training and opinions and all of that (just like the old days).
