It has been over a year since I have posted in this. My main focus was getting my degree in 2021 inside my computer room since the school remained mostly closed until 2022.
I graduated recently and have been serious about training again. I have switched back to doing Muay Thai instead of BJJ. BJJ was supposed to be temporary to get my ground game efficient enough to handle myself but ended up doing it from 2015-2020. With some breaks in between for injuries. I now am better at grappling (bjj, wrestling, sambo) than I am at striking. So I feel good about switching back to Muay Thai again. It is the martial art I truly love.
For most of this year I have been doing powerlifting only. West side barbell (conjugate) style. Now that I am training martial arts again it is time for me to switch up my strength and conditioning. I am trying to figure out the best approach to give me the strength and conditioning I want without taking away from my martial arts practice.

As I am writing this the first thing I notice I want to do is lower the volume. I just hadn’t been in the gym for a while so i wanted to hit a lot of areas. I have to start researching again. I do know I want Q+D in there for sure.
