Yeah. I want to make sure our guys don't go into a fight thinking they are sparring. In this one, I would slap the shit out them with the focus mits until they landed a good shot (I was wearing headgear) and I'd drop as if I were rocked and they were to follow me down, avoiding getting tied up in gaurd, and pound me out. I wish I'd done this drill before my first fight. It would have been a 30 second fight instead of a 2:43 second fight if I'd pounced on the guy as soon as he went down.
Good times.

#2:
3 right, 1 left
Negatives
Impressions: GODDAMMIT! I came really close to getting the push press PR, but I hit a fucking beam in my new garage on the left side and it fucked the lift up. Tried again, but I blew my load. I'll definitely get this my the end of the month. Shoulder rehab stuff seems to have helped this a bit.

AM:
100 Dumbell Snatch Challenge (35lbs)
Time: 1:51
PM:
MMA stuff.
Impressions:
Lost a few seconds (8 or so) screwing the endcap back onto the dumbell. Need to do this with a hex dumbell or the powerblock so the collar doesn't come loose. Overall, a decent day. Sore as fuck, ready for MMA Fight Team tomorrow night.

You still haven't gotten the 225 PP? Well, I guess with your shoulder and concentrating on fighting and conditioning that probably went out the window...
BTW, do you know, are they widening I-264? Or some parts of it? I noticed some construction when I went through there last week and forgot to ask ya.

The Push press will definitely be there by the end of the month. A better rep scheme/ not hitting a ceiling crossbeam / wrist wraps should do it. The shoulder rehab I did acted as assistance lifts apparently. This was the first time I'd done a barbell push press in literally months.
As far as I-264, I don't usually take it. Tamil says yes, they are widening a part of it.

Its tasty, as all Muscle Milk is tasty. If you like their chocolate stuff, go for it. If you are more a cookies and cream/ fruit guy; take it or leave it. I love the Peanut Butter Chocolate, fyi, and am neutral on Cookies and Cream. (I also only mix with water. I'm sure the brownie butter is pure heaven mixed with milk.)
