So, I've been working out more since I'm out of school. My goal is to spend most of this summer bulking up. Lots of pullups, lots of pushups and lots of squats, as well as plenty of burpees.
But, in more important news, I was working with one of the newer guys at my gym, and he's been training five days a week, so he's been getting in good shape. He's about 215 pounds, so he's about 70 pounds heavier than me.
I've been spending alot of time working from the back and I've found something very important:
Sometimes you need to slow the game down on the back and think more. Many people, myself included, go straight to a submission off the back and lose the position, but the more I've been thinking about how I fight off of the back, and the more I watch guys who are better than me, I learn how important it is to take the position and hold it. Patience on the back is important.
The more I watch guys like Penn and Marcelo Garcia, the more I see that they don't care about the points, and that they care more about the control that they have from the position, especially BJ. Plus it's a good practice to work slower and with more control.
