George Mason University

So basically... no one showed to my session today, as predicted. Makes sense, cause I forgot to send out the email and all. But I did get a good scope of the campus and its possibilities. I need to look for some old things like my notebook full of lessons and an email I sent out a long while ago with a list of different ideas, but I should be good to go. Aside from that, I spent a good two hours doing straight solo training, which is a good contrast to the high intensity training I've been doing lately. Wiped me out completely all the same.

I did a few drills, but as we all know, I'm not a big fan of drilling things repetitively. I think it's useful at the beginning, but not so much later. I have noticed that my rolls, however, are nearly impossible to come out of in a full run. I need to fix this somehow. Aside from that, the most taxing par tof the training was a continuity session (or multiple sessions) across two raillings. That's it, two. But believe me, I made the most of it.

I've also noticed that I've been severely undertraining my posterior chain. In particular, my glutes. And the fast-twitch muscle fibres therein. A series of long jumps following each other consecutively left me with pulled glutes even after a good warm-up session, and I had to walk it out to loosen it up every time. It was rather.. excrutiating. Suppose I'll actually need to hit the gym and work on some heavier power snatches to get that fixed. Overall, I'm pretty happy with today's session, because it has me floored.
