Hit the heavy bag with some bare knuckle MT rounds. All 4 pieces that held onto the chain have torn-off, so now the bag cannot be mounted without some modification. That's OK though, I have it propped up against a tree. The nice thing about this set-up is I can kick it better without the bag stands impeding my footwork. I can also angle it so I can practice low kicks that mimic a partner holding a kick shield. Just need to get some rope to secure it, but my rounds on it so far have already been fun.
Need to get some batteries for my scale, have no idea what I'm walking around at but I'm feeling the extra bodybuilding work I've been doing. Chest has been sore for days and can't remember the last time that's happened. As expected, eating, meal prep, and dishwashing is an absolute slog, but there's something delightfully nostalgic about this misery, especially as I sit here at the office drinking my homemade weightgainer shake.
Woke-up and did 3 minutes on the bike and 40 straight burpees. About 5 minutes total before going to work.
Back is more or less recovered from the injured state and back to its everyday levels of discomfort and pain. Just did a bunch of stretches and yoga poses at the office, which always helps.
My schedule is getting a bit tighter. My boss wants me in the office more hours. There's a lot of fat in my normal schedule to trim that will afford me time to hit the goals I need. An obvious one is to not eat and chill at home before training; that will be done at the office and I'll train when I get home. I also don't take proper breaks at work; I eat at my desk and stand-up or stretch as needed, but actually walking away and coming back makes a big difference.
Working with my client remotely at 7:00 today, so will train after work and before then.
