Signed up for Muay Thai at the same place and took my third class there (4 in total now, counting AKA). I felt like I had a poor training session through entirely my own fault. My lower body was sore from lifting so kicking with my lead left, which I already suck at, was even uglier. Could not turn my hips properly for the life of me. I kept missing my shin on the bag and landing near my toes, which started to hurt enough that I went and grabbed my new Kings shin guards. It still hurt to use that side now just from feeling impact, and soreness and fatigue started making me kick sloppy with my RIGHT leg now and I hurt that foot too. I feel like a buffoon.
On the other hand, my hands are pretty good and when we partnered up I coupled with the coach so I got plenty of personal tutelage. Aiming for the pads, we did various combinations, starting with a simple 1-2 followed by an inside leg kick and moving on to longer chains. I bounced around with partners a little bit. Anything that wasn't boxing I butchered because my feet bones hurt.
Speaking of which, there is a boxing class that my membership covers I'd like to hit up. Only problem is it conflicts with my work schedule, but when we hire another office worker I'll have more free time. Still working 7 days a week.
The calisthenics really worked my shoulders - inchworms and bear crawls gave them a crazy pump. In my lifting I'm going to shift just a little more to direct tricep work to give my front delts a break.
One other thing to note: at night before bed I notice my right knee really fucking hurts if I lift it up. I have plenty of time to heal before squat day, though.

Finding the balance between lifting and Muay Thai will be interesting. The boxing class sounds pretty awesome too. I was always more partial to that.
ReplyDeleteFor sure. It's going to be tough but I'm too stubborn and greedy to throw one sport under the bus, at least for now. Because of my work my Muay Thai attendance isn't super frequent at the moment.
