P90x Yoga

Body: still good minus shoulder

Notes: Solid day all around. Played a lot of racquetball and man is that exhausting. Yoga was good I was really sore and it helped out a ton for sure. I am going to deadlift pretty light tomorrow and get in a few other things. Maybe some crossfit too.

Notes: First time fully squatting in 6 weeks. I can feel my hip a little but it is not what it was before it is a feeling of none use rather than injury which is awesome. I am going to try to get a little bit heavier on friday but I am so pumped that I am back in that sense. Only one more thing left...my shoulder. Then surgery and I will be good.

Notes: Yesterday I decided to just swim for my workout since I was in the pool already and it ended up being pretty good I was breathing heavy. I had a nice long ma practice which is so awesome. I went into the gym in a shitty mood and came out in the best mood. That is what I am missing in my life and I found a new way to get that. I also love the sport I have been learning takedowns and some submissions as well as striking I cannot wait to become better at it and know more of what I am doing.

Racquetball For Days

10/3/11
1hr 45 mins of racquet ball

1hr mma practice

1hr 20 mins 0f racquetball

Body: shoulder still nagging (pretty annoying)
Sleep: 8hrs
Nutrition: good deficit
Notes: Well shoulder still isnt good to lift with so I am staying away from the weights right now. What else is new that I have to go around injuries....really starting to bother me. Probably going to take another week off from lifting...whatever. MMA was really cool and I cant wait to get into that we already started doing take downs and throws. Other than that ive got nothing really to say.
