What is your go-to workout?

I'm in the middle of a Hillsdale college course on the US Constitution and reading the supporting coursework on it and contemporary literature like the Federalist Papers.

After that wraps up in a couple of weeks I start a course on the political impact and historical terrain of early Christianity.

I've got two new audio books downloaded:

Cadaver Dog about a dog's life in a zombie apocalypse.

The Philokalia, a study on Eastern Orthodox prayer and mysticism.

I'm also pressing in some road march practice for a trip to Ucluelet and Tofino, BC, Canada to visit the fam and Zodiac around with whales and sea wolves or some such critters. My siblings are all in the 70s but can walk me into the dirt. For them, 20k hikes in the rain ain't shit, and I need a sherpa after 10k in good weather. Heck, after 10k I need a palanquin!

 

Nothing new to report really. My tournament is the 5th of April so I’m dialing in a few things. We shall see how it goes.

 

You are just a tad more than half my weight! In the past, 200 pounds has been a good weight for me so that's the goal for now

 

I’m 210 lbs and holding steady. Lol.

 

Pretty good. Just working the plan.

I also upgraded solar lighting on the farm. Nothing fancy, just cheap motion security lights or decorative lighting for "Ambiance".

 

I am getting a little long in the face these days.

 

Had a good practice this morning. Dialed-in two chokes from what is called “side control.” Both are extremely vicious when done correctly. One is called the “papercutter” and the other is called a “baseball bat” choke, both no-gi version. My tournament is less than two weeks out so I’m concentrating on things that work for me and filtering out the extra. I’ll try to find short versions of the above-mentioned subs to post.
