Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu


Went to my second night of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ) tonight at Vision MMA. It was the last class of the year, but I plan on continuing after the Jan 1. This video is pretty awesome. The words more so than the footage, but its a great perspective about BJJ.  Tonight was pretty humbling.  The instructor asked me after watching a couple drills if I had taken classes before.  That was a pretty nice ego bump.  Following that up by getting choked out 10 or so times without submitting a partner brought me back to earth.

Taking it one day at a time.  Improving 1% today from yesterday.

Conflict


"Conflict does not need to be something we romanticize or carelessly draw ourselves into, but it is also certainly not something we should fear, cower away from, or live in denial of; Conflict is a universal certainty. 
Peace of mind, peace of self, and peace of current condition are all valuable things to strive for, but expecting a life of serenity and peace in this world filled with selfishness, destruction, and madness is both misguided and impossible. 
Insulate your "peace" with non-victim mindset and appropriate preparation for the unexpected, and reinforce it all with a sound and reliable physical skillset."

The boys and I took our first bjj class today. Try to put this quote into practice.

Searching

Learning about yourself, challenging convention, and seeing how far you can go instead of being TOLD how far you can go is never a simple path, but “simple” isn’t really what most of us are searching for. We may have some self deception in place that tells us what we want is a simple, basic life- and while elements of that may be true, ANY critical thinker, progressivist, subversionist, naysayer, questioner, or idealist knows that the simpler the journey, the less fulfilling the destination. 
Even the most grounded and self-assured of us has a tendency to continue the search, and that self-awareness should never be ignored. FIND something, LEARN something, TRY something, and be open to the idea that even if you hate it, suck at it, or only try it once, the searching itself teaches the most valuable lesson. 
Relying on fate or waiting for direction from the universe is most often a recipe for disappointment and unrealized potential. You will only be given a fraction of what you have the power to take. 
Empowerment, development, and realized potential comes from within; when the path to their achievement goes dark, the only way to find it again is to look harder…

Thanksgiving Week



I am taking this week off sorta.  I got tattooed Saturday and am sore as shit.  Plus I am out of town Wed-Sunday and no gym around so I am going to be taking most of the week off.  I did go the gym last night and plan on going tonight, but not real plan.  Just going to move a little weight around and maybe try some new exercises.  I do plan on doing a bunch of conditioning and body weight training while at my in-laws, but nothing specific or that I am going to track.

I'll be back at in Monday starting the 17th Cycle again.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Civilize the Mind


Civilize the mind but make savage the body.  That's the motto of this blog and my personal goal in life.  I've done a good job making savage the body.  I'm down 50lbs, I am stronger, faster and in better condition.  But I've also tried to civilize the mind,  I am constantly trying to learn.  Whether taking a class, watching a documentary, listening to a podcast or reading a book.  At the beginning of the year, I set a goal to read 12 books in 2016.  Not a huge goal, but a goal.  I finished my 12th book tonight and have a list of books to read a mile long.  I have no set style of book I like or don't like,  I want to be entertained, but I also want to learn.  I've found a good mix.  I go through phases where I read a lot then I won't read at all for a week.  

I still have plenty of room to improve both phsyically and mentally and I am continuing to grow every day.  Trying to be 1% better today than I was yesterday.  Both physically and mentally.  

As Wolf Brigade Gym's Greg Walsh says, "A strong body governed by a weak mind is no more useful than a sports car powered by a hamster wheel."

Weekly Body Fat Measurements

Back when I started this process I set a goal of getting to 185lbs.  I am at 186lbs currently and looking at myself in the mirror and I think its time to reevaluate my goals.  Instead of setting a goal weight, I decided I want be as strong as I can be with a body fat % somewhere between 10-15%.  The methods I used aren't perfect and in fact they don't match up.  I think that's due to human error on the body fat calipers.  I have not used them regularly so I'm not sure if I doing it correctly, but I will be able to tell if the body fat is going down as long as I remain consistent in my measuring methods.

Civilize the mind, make savage the body.

New Nutrition Plan

So starting today I am trying a new nutrition approach.  I am going with a combination of intermittent fasting along with a sort of modified atkins diet.  The plan is to have a fasting period of 20 hours, followed up by a 4 hour feeding period.  I am going to have to make some scheduling adjustments.  I currently train 3 times a week at 9p.  I plan to start the feeding period after training so eating at 11p at night is not ideal.

I am going to remain in a caloric deficit until I am below 15% body fat.  Closing in on that number, but still have a bit to of fat to burn.

For my nutritional intake values, I want to have 5-10% of calories from carbs and the rest divided between protein and fat with at least 1g of protein per lb of body weight.  I think the one large meal a day will help me get more protein in actual food instead of protein shakes while also opening up my selection of foods to include other healthy fats and vegetables.

Trial and error.  I made it through 20 hours of fasting today with no issues.  That 20 hour period included a conditioning workout.  I am interested to see how it effects my strength workouts.  Stay tunes for updates.

Discipline over Motivation

Discipline always trumps motivation. Motivation is about emotion and too many times, we rely on emotion to raise our performance. Unfortunately, this can quickly wear you down and if you aren't motivated, lead to lackluster or missed training sessions. 
Discipline doesn't care how you feel, what the weather is or if you've had a bad day. Discipline will carry the strong. Discipline will drive success. Discipline doesn't need a "hype" video or loud music. Discipline over motivation.

Madmartigan


Saw this video yesterday, so I gave it a shot today.  Ten burpees and ten 25m sprints for 5 rounds.  I believe they do the sets continuously, but I'm still not in good shape, so I did it with a 2 min rest between reach round.  Still a brutal conditioning workout.  Thanks to Atomic Athlete for sharing this.

Comparisons

When you start to compare yourself with someone else instead of being jealous, be grateful. Grateful that they were able to accomplish so much. If they can do something, then you can do something. It might not happen today or tomorrow, but as long as you are moving forward, even if it is only one inch at a time, then you are moving in the right direction.

Earn It

"Earn it. Be worthy. Don't waste it. Two centuries of warriors look up from their graves in this dark hour, they look up from the rubble of the World Trade Center, and their message is, "Earn it." We can never truly earn what has been purchased at the ultimate price, but we can do our best."

Physical Training as Self Overcoming

A strong, healthy body is the only fit conveyance for a strong, healthy mind. Barring severe handicap or condition, a man’s sole reason for being soft, frail, or obese is because he is lazy and undisciplined. If he is lazy and undisciplined physically, it is because he is lazy and undisciplined mentally, and spiritually.

Keep the Fire Burning

This life is trial and ordeal: 
You will be tested. 
This world will try everything in its power to extinguish your flames and leave your ashes cold.   
Opposition will rise up against you, and the struggles that you experience may sometimes threaten to overwhelm- the storms so violent and sudden that they will seem without end. 
The truth is, there is no end to struggle save death. 
While we live, we must commit ourselves to this understanding, and allow it to shape our approach to life as one that always comes from a place of strength.

The Warpath

"I can tell you what path I'm on and what path I strive to stay on.  That is the warpath.  That's the path I'm on.  The warpath.  A path of war. Cause to me, warpath means moving toward a battle, a fight, towards war.  And that is what I am doing and that is what I've always been doing.  Whether it was the actual war against our nations enemies or the war against my own weaknesses.  That is what I am doing.  Preparing and sharpening my sword and honing my skills and maintaining the unmitigated daily discipline in all things.  And the warpath is just that, its a path, its a route, it leads somewhere.  And so you ask, 'where does it lead?'  And yes, yes it can lead to war and that's fine.  In fact, I am waiting and I am ready.  Because the warpath is a war against weakness and so it leads to strength.  Its a war against ignorance and so it leads to knowledge.  Its a war against confusion, and so it delivers understanding.  And the path, the warpath, leads to control and leads to ownership of your life.  And that to me is the warpath.  The path of fire and adversity.  The path of blood and of sweat and of suffering.  The warpath is the preeminent path of discipline which is why it leads to freedom and beyond that.  In the end, the warpath leads to peace."
