Yoga & Lifting
My sore knee is finally mending, but I have avoided leg workouts and anything that might strain it again. My upper body lifting has gone well, though.
Jujutsu
I've been working on left-hand techniques quite a bit the last few weeks. I switched back to right this week. Practices have been solid.
Yoga & Lifting
My knee has been sore, so yoga has been tentative and I have skipped lifting with legs. My upper body workouts have been great, though. I've been having a few more rest days in between just due to being busy and tired, and the layoff has helped me ratchet up the intensity.
Jujutsu
The knee has limited me to about 90% of my list, which isn't terrible. I've been working on left hand stuff and did knife and gun techniques as well as the rest of my usual list this past week. The kids' class was awesome. They are really catching on and having fun.
Yoga & Lifting
I was able to push my starting weight up and also added reps to my highest weight on the bench press. Very good day.
Jujutsu
I did Yawara with variations; Goshin; Left Nage; Striking kata; and ground work. In Goshin I adjusted some of my technique from feedback. I turned my hands in when dropping to escape from a reverse bear hug; I used my body weight to drop Uke on Ushiro Gyaku... Left Nage went well although I had to repeat a few things to get them right.
Yoga & Lifting
Great sessions today. My knee felt better, so yoga was smoother. I was able to work really hard on my "pull" lifting session.
Jujutsu
Kids' class was fun. My knee range of motion was almost normal. I re-read part of GUTT this morning.
