What is your go-to workout?

I’m dialing things in for another BJJ tournament in early April, 208# Blue Belt Old Fart division. My plan is to smash but I could get smashed myself. Stay tuned.

 

I’ll post a few of my favorite subs. I’m known a bit for smashing folks with top pressure but I’m trying to learn to be more well-rounded.

The Americana is nasty nasty. Ouch!

 

I'm down 18 pounds from my long ago post.

No special diet really. No processed foods, no added sugar, keep grams of protein as high as grams of carbs. I drink 5 liters of water to flush clean. I take some herbal supplements but nothing exotic.

Last week I finished Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley

Book overview
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

This week I'm reading Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell

Description
In this fifth edition of Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell revises and updates his popular book on commonsense economics, bringing the world into clearer focus through a basic understanding of the fundamental economic principles and how they explain our lives. Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English.

Basic Economics, which has now been translated into six languages and has additional material online, remains true to its core principle: that the fundamental facts and principles of economics do not require jargon, graphs, or equations and can be learned in a relaxed and even enjoyable way.

I use this one a lot. We call it an Arm Triangle and it’s nasty.

 

Looks great. Light weight with more reps is best in my opinion. Your joints will thank you down the road.

 

Looks like a good routine. I’ve been doing dips for years. My triceps compare to Bugs Bunny’s or maybe Olive Oil’s.

 

Only 3 participants yesterday morning at class. Two blue belts (promoted same day) and the instructor. I was dumb enough to ask for the footage the instructor shot to show my Pops when I visit next time, he thinks I’m nuts. (Sad to say I was beaten up badly) My ability to accept pain though was passed down from Mom not Dad. She’d make fun of him in this area, “your Dad passes out and makes sounds like a seal!” Lol. In pretty much every other category he’s the best ever. Lol.
