Health & Fitness -- Strength Training

Until I have time to figure out a new routine, I'll most likely stick with some of my favorite exercises for strength/hypertrophy.

Four sets and 8-10 reps for each exercise. On all four days: Power Snatch (explosive) for 5 reps, Seated Russin Twists (Rotational), and 4 Point Plank (Bridge and Core) -- 30 sec reps.

Vert. Pull (unilateral): Side to Side Pull-Ups

Thursday

Martial Arts

I haven't had much time to sit down and figure out a good schedule to incorporate MMA in my training. I think I'd still like to include it, but probably only once a week. My BJJ classes are doing no gi once a week this summer. It helps, since my gi gets really sweaty after just one class--not to mention doing BJJ with a more functional purpose.

Summer camp has gone well so far. I've been kept pretty busy with the different age groups. Normally I find the girls have better behavior, but this time around the boys have been on target more often.
