Yesterday: Day 31 TBF day 9
Lo Intensity Doens’t mean no work just not at heavy.
Did some exercises from the GroupCST DVD : 3 cycles of Clubbell® Curl/lunges. Same with Torch Press and Head cast. One minute each.
Then Warmed up my Cossack squats and then went three rounds until I got tired. Didn’t try to go for time under tension. And finally, 3 sets of tripod extensiond twisitng over to touch the mat with both hands into a wheel just for a second.
Today, Day 32. Rest because I have HUGE tournament tommorow with 20 fighters. So I’m taking today easy.
Well first off, I admit that Sunday and Monday I was a gigantic slackbag. I just laid up and rested after the event Saturday. Didn’t win. Heart wasn’t in it. I knew that the first fight. On the other hand, I felt great! 
I just coulnd’t motivated myself the last to days to do anything but yard work. “shudder”
Enough complaining and listening tothe Drunk Monkey talkin me way out of training and back to the grind.
So:
Day 33- Fought in heavey weapons SCA Tournament. Must have tweaked knee because the storm fron has moved though and the knee still hurts.
Day 34-35 rested.
Day 36: Continue with Trial By Fire Moderate Intensity
3 sets of 25 reps of TBF. 5 minute rest between sets.
Think I’m starting to really get the effortless effort of the mills. Finally.
Cool Down was yoga with the kids. I’d ask my kids,” Hey can you do this?”, and they would repeat it. Pretty cool. And humbleing when they can just flip over into a wheel with no effort.
I’ve noticed that on my days off at work that things try and keep me from training. Mostly it’s the break in my normal routine and it’s hard to make myself get out and train. But, I guess that’s where the real training comes in: keeping the promise’s you make to yourself.
Day 37
4 sets of 25 reps of TBF with 25# Clubbell®. 3 minute rest between sets.
So today is the first day that I actually hit the correct volume needed to complete the trial by fire. Probably should have started this on on a moderate day. Definatly good tell the technique was not what yesterday was with the mills.
Rpe 8
Rpt 7 overall. Mills still need some work. Not where I want them.
RPD 5
Cooldown: Seal, Camel, Locust, pigeon. Sounds like a zoo.
Day 38: No intensity. Right.
Good warmup with Intu-Flow® followed by some light Prasara and Vinyasa yoga. Lower backadn core are really loosening up. Very happy with that. I actually went from Up dog to Wheel and BACK to Up Dog!!! WOO HOO!!!
Day 39:Lo Intensity Day
3 cycles of Clubbell®® Curl/lunges. Same with Torch Press and Crush Torch Press. One minute each.
Warmed up my Cossack squats and then went 2 round of abuot 30 seconds. Knee being quirky so I’m carefull to only hang out at the edge of discomfort. Slow Vinyasa sun salutations to loosen up.
I could definatly feel the HI Intensity day of the CB’s from the other day. I think the workload has gotten heavy enough that I actually need the two days of no and lo intensity fro reccovery but I’m a slow learner always trying ot iceskate up hill. Tommorow will definatly tell the tale if I can’t get through a regular CB session of MOD intensity.
