A Decent Week
I missed one lifting workout this week because I had a lot of work due (since its the last full week of class). I made all my judo training sessions this week, including my brown belt test. I’m pretty sure I passed.
The workouts I did make were good. I enjoy switching it up every day, but changing exercises makes it hard to pick a weight that’s as high as possible. As a result, I’m not not sure I’m challenging my muscles as much as possible. On the other hand, this program includes explosive exercises like cleans and high pulls. Those are fun, and I noticed a big jump in my deadlift as a result of training similar movements explosively.
On the body-composition front, more lack of progress. You can see for yourself in the progress pics, which show no visible change in the last 4 weeks. I ate a lot better this week, but I need to do more cardio, which I didn’t do this week like I said I would.
I should be able to train a lot over the next two weeks. I have a very spread out finals schedule, and working out will make a good study break. I will add morning HIIT and afternoon swimming on non-lifting days starting Monday.
