I’ve been trying a lot of new things with Fitness lately. First, I decided to drop crossfit entirely – the program really rocked me into good shape, but for reasons that I’ll be getting into later, I’ve decided to drop it in favor of the Westside Barbell routine – particularly, Westside Barbell for Skinny Bastards. Why? Well, Crossfit has a lot going for it if you’re using that as your main source of physical exertion – but for me a lot of my conditioning work is being redirected in the form of Martial Arts training – 5 days a week.
I’ve started to train over at Redline Fight Sports here in Cambridge, MA, and so far I’ve been absolutely loving it.
Let me give you an idea of my schedule:
- Monday – Jujitsu
- Tuesday – Ketsugo
- Wednesday – MMA
- Thursday – Russian Sambo
- Friday – Rest/Conditioning
- Saturday – Jujitsu part 2
So far I’ve been getting the best sleep of my life, and the added weight training has been putting me in my place – but for the first time in awhile I’m feeling like I’m working at 100%. It’s always great to get to work and realize that the shape you thought were in is nothing compared to the shape that’s demanded of you.
Oh well, it’s time to put up or get out.
