The attribute that most often leads to success is focus. The term chasing multiple rabbits makes a man go hungry supports this claim. I think the pull in multiple directions is stressing me out. I often justify this claim by considering the alternate hypothesis that broad education and being a generalist leads to the greater outcome over time. At my most recent conversation with a coach they told me to do more. I think this was concerning because I already feel overwhelmed. The question becomes how much stress can I handle.
Training: Training has been going well. I’ve been handling a lot more weight from an intensity perspective. I just completed week 6 of the strength and 10k training. I am not hitting all the running days as I would like. Bench was 2 sets of 5 at 300, OHP was 5×2 on OHP at 150, Deads were 465x10x2, and squats were 485x2x4. I feel like my shoulders are feeling much better on this program which is nice. My right AC joint was flared up pretty bad a couple weeks ago.
BJJ: Trained 5 times last week including the competition class. There are aspects of my game which I’m strengthening including my guard play. Will have a decrease in training this week.
Sleep: Time in bed was down, but time asleep was up. 7:02 and time asleep was 6:16.
Stress: Up. Work and feeling the crunch of time is starting to wear on me. There’s a lot I want to get done over the next two months. There’s also a lot of uncertainty.
Learning: I’ve been working through great courses on changing body composition and psychology. I need to get back to books. Been consistently reading on my days off a chapter a week. There hasn’t been a learning plan or working towards a goal. I think in the past when I had curriculums I was more successful. I think planning what I want to learn and practicing adult learning is something I need to work on.
