Well, by some stroke of luck my wrist has healed up and I was able to bench for the first time in several months yesterday! Definitely feel weaker but it will come back to me. Form is still solid and everything is firing how it should, so no complaints there. Kept things relatively light on my shoulders as well since I haven't been able to do any pressing movements, period. No pain!
On a less lucky note, my dog is sick and I'm not quite sure what's up. She hasn't really been eating, and has been vomiting and losing weight...I have a vet appointment scheduled for her tomorrow, and an emergency number on hand in case I need it tonight. Fingers crossed everything is okay!
Tuesday's training: Jiujitsu class only, with more focus on Judo. My endurance and my explosive power has been improving quite a bit and I am really noticing carry-over from my regular powerlifting in how I execute moves in both Judo and Jiujitsu. The decrease in my overall training volume has also allowed for better recovery now that I have increased the number of times I am grappling during the week. My joints feel right as rain!
Take-away's from this class: going for a triangle choke, or any kind of triangle in general for my build, is no bueno. Damn my short, stocky frame...
