Leaving Rio tomorrow. Got asked to stay and take on a house manager position for accomodation. If this had been on the table earlier I could have happily found part time work and stayed here for 6 months or longer. Suprisingly attached to my girl too and had a sad goodbye tonight. Goddamnit, not ready to go. /livejournal

Jogging, hilly. 4.8km about 27 mins.

I'm in the process of moving to Toronto and will be trying out for new gyms. First up is Toronto BJJ, they have a 30 day free trial. Definitely won't be there every day as i don't live downtown yet, but will check it out as much as I can, starting tomorrow.

Bjj

First class of my trial at Toronto bjj. Quick warmup and straight into 10 minute rounds of rolling. Holy crap. I was expecting to have a leg up after Brazil but not the case here. My first roll was with a monstrous purple belt that choked me like 4 times. Then another purple who again tapped me like 3 times. Finally I thought I'd have some relief with a smaller blue belt. Not the case. He's all over me with 2 or 3 taps. Goddamn.

Gym seems pretty cool, lots of blues and purples. Definitely competition focused...seems to be a large, tightly knit team, very competition oriented...maybe too competition oriented. Will keep heading back whenever I can get to Toronto.

bjj again regularly anyways.

Diet is bouncing between 203-206lbs, diet has been slipping at best.

Are you still using sparkpeople and/or dailyplate? Also, if you drink, how much if at all does it derail your training?

Halos
Deadlifts

One Hand Swing (each arm) 20, 15, 12, 10
One Arm Hangclean (each arm) 5, 5, 5

Doing reps instead of time, need to get better at the lifts and handling this weight before I worry about circuits.
