I went to my Muay Thai class tonight, which was pretty hard.  To be honest, after 5 weeks away I was sucking wind.  Still all in all, I’m glad that I went. I had thought that there was a BJJ class after Muay Thai so I brought my gi with intentions of doing two classes, but I had the schedule mixed-up. If all goes well, I will get to a BJJ workout Wed and another Muay Thai class Friday.  Tomorrow is leg day and Thursday is chest and back, so I have a pretty full week.

It is amaziing how much conditioning you can lose after a short layoff. 

I had two very good workouts in a row.  Yesterday was back & chest and today I hit delts & arms.  Tomorrow should be an interesting day.  I will be taking my first classes since the surgery.  I will be doing BJJ and Muay Thai classes, which works out to 2 1/2 hours.  This serves as my interval training (hitting pads, calisthetics, plometrics plus grappling).  

That’s it for now. 

I worked shoulders and biceps today, which felt great.  It is hard coming back to training after having to take time off.  5 weeks feels like an eternity, but I’m back on track.  If all goes well, I will be lifting Mon, Tues and Wed.  Thurs and Fri will be Muay Thai and BJJ. I can’t wait to get a full weeks worth of training under my belt.  Still, I can’t lift too heavy until the doctor gies me the green light, so I’m going moderate (8 to 12 reps) with the weights.

Tomorrow will be my first day back training.  I couldn’t lift weights or even due cardio per my doctor’s orders following surgery for a deviated septum (four weeks).  I still have a little bleeding, so I can’t lift heavy.  So tomorrow it will be complexes with light weight and heavy bag work. 

Before the surgery my doc had said I couldn’t work out for two weeks, after the surgery it changed to four weeks. So much for full disclosure.
