Went to sparring on Friday and was the only one who showed up. Worked the heavy bag for a bunch of rounds until coach Payam, who was skipping rope nearby, approached me and said he'll spar. Boxing only. We went several rounds at an intensity I wish everyone here could adopt. He hit just hard enough to punish but that's it. He complimented my jab that snuck through several times. In return, his body shots started to find their way in by the later rounds, including one that mildly knocked the wind out of me. I would say we did 6 or 7 rounds and my cardio held up well. After we were finished I used the exercise bike for 5 minutes to cool down.

On Saturday I did a deload overhead press workout. Push pressed the 100 lb dumbbell for 4 reps and strict pressed 130 x 8 for several sets, all super-set with bodyweight pull-ups. Went to a pool party and barbecue that afternoon at George's.
