Have been sick but I'm better as of today. Only hit 185x3 on Saturday's press workout (wasn't sick then but shoulders were sore). Couldn't squat over 395x2 on Tuesday.

Yesterday I benched 285x5 and went to Muay Thai after. Learned a combo-string: low right kick, 3-2-3, right body kick, 3-2, left switch kick, overhand right and left hook to the body, circle out with double-jab. Started with just the first portion of that and added on.

Next, learned the calf kick. Coach Anthony said he's not the biggest fan but it can be a useful tool in the right situation. Eventually utilized it in a sparring situation. Donning headgear and a mouthguard it was going against the coach that had me gassing really hard by the end. Gassing with the headgear on always presents a suffocating feeling. Wanted to quit and get some air by taking my gear off but I suffered through. I find myself getting too spastic when I go up against him, trying to match his movements. Relax, don't waste any movement, and be efficient. Against everyone else I'm fine. When I get good enough THEN I can do fancy fake-outs every second. Glad to have gotten a good solid cardio workout, though.
