The rehab on my shoulder is going well. Yesterday was the first day that I was able to do a regular circuit in over 2 months.
Everyone on the competition team at our school does circuit training. The circuits we do at our school are very sport specific designed to get you into fight shape. The circuits are usually not high weight but more endurance based and usually work the entire body.
I have not been able to do a regular circuit do to my shoulder injured. Even though the weight is not that heavy, until yesterday I lacked the strength to complete a circuit. I have only really been able to work my lower body (mostly running). Yesterday I was able to do a few different exercises with my shoulder including Kettle Bell swings, thrusters and pull-ups. It was a little sore but my strength is coming back. Finally…
My weight is still around 158 to 159 pounds. I am tweaking my diet a little this week and I am still running (and doing circuits now). I hope to be down a few more pounds by Saturday.
Things are looking up and I can’t wait to start competing again. I am still on pace to be ready by the middle or end of next month. There are a few Jiu-Jitsu tournaments coming up near the end of next month. My goal is to be ready by the Chicago Open on August 22nd… Whether or not I get to go will be up to my coach.
