August update

Numbers Weight: I finished last month weighing 165, aiming to end this month below 170. I finished this month again around 165. BJJ, musculation, cardio: I did BJJ every week and thought about it quite a bit between classes; I feel like I’ve hit a good approach to how I’m learning BJJ lately and it seems to be showing up on the mats (I’ve gotten a lot harder to submit and I’m even getting the occasional submission against people who’ve been training much longer than I have). Doing musculation every week, and have added pull-ups and dips back in as well for the last few weeks. With cardio I’ve been making progress in my interval training and generally feeling pretty good about how it translates to BJJ practice. Cruising mindset: I think the mindset is going well. I don’t think about it much during the month but looking back now, I am straining to improve and fantasizing about being better but not afraid of not improving and at peace with where I’m at, so it’s feeling pretty good overall...
