Stop calling it "old age"—it’s just rust. 🧱💪
If you’ve spent the last decade neglecting your body, sleep, and nutrition, you aren't broken; you’re just undertrained.
The goal isn't to look "jacked." It's to stay strong enough to keep doing everything you love.
I’m tracking my own rebuild with my app, Pump It Better. Join me. Let’s trade "weak" for "capable."

Morning fasted #elliptical #workout
2023 Chicago BJJ Championships are happening this Saturday. I have one GI opponent and another no-gi in my rank/age/weight bracket.
Now, note to self: don't get injured in practice like last time!

Morning #treadmil
Clocked in at 189lbs this morning so just need to maintain for 2 wks.
-
Intermittent fasting and morning cardio daily for the next 2 weeks - I need to loose 3 lbs before my #jiujitsu competition March 4th to make the 190lbs weight class.
-
Morning #weightlifitng finished with some #threadmill
-
Felt good #weightlifting today after a short break because of a cold and a slight shoulder injury (I need to get better at tapping early in #jiujitsu when rolling).
-
Morning cardio on #elliptical
-
Early afternoon fasted run on a treadmill. And now it's time to break the fast and eat some goodies.
-
Some treadmilling and mobility work this morning. I still have a little cold so keeping it light.
-
Had a fat-burning #threadmil run for breakfast this morning, and will try lunchtime #jiujitsu in a fasted state as well. Then eat like a king until 7pm.
-
Evening no-gi Jiu-Jitsu left me completely exhausted. We learned switching from mount to s-mount when opponent pushes off your hip and from there either an armbar or take the back.
-
Jiu-Jitsu in the books.
Today we drilled some triangles from closed guard with 3 setup variations followed by 10 minutes of rolling.
-
Last week I did 3 days of lifting, 3 days of Jiujutsu, and 30mins of treadmill.
This week I'm bumping weights a bit and will try 5x Jiujutsu. I'd be really happy with that schedule if I can keep it up.

Morning #weightlifitng
Didn't think I had it in me when I first woke up, but after a protein shake, a cup of coffee, and a 15 minute dog walk, I hit the basement for some Madcow 5x5 #workout
-
Lunchtime #jujitsu (Gi)
40 minutes of two options for passing half-guard, followed by 20 minutes of positional rolling (starting in half-guard).
I was not able to pass a single half-guard with what we learned - everyone was ready for it LOL.
-
Holy cow, laying down to relax and doing some deep slow breathing exercise really works. At least my Garmin watch thinks so. Stress went down from 100% to resting sleep level. Trying to continue deep slow breathing as I work now.
-
Restarted training #JiuJitsu yesterday after a long time off. With Christmas and new year break wrapping up and kids and wife returning to work, I hope I can make it routine again.
Today I feel like a truck ran me over, so it has to be a gradual buildup.
We learned 3 variations of no-gi half guard passes.

Lunchtime #jiujitsu
I'm back! A flu or something hit me like a brick and knocked me off my feet last Thursday, but thankfully it left just as fast.
Today we drilled some options for rolling chokes when facing an opponent head on in turtle position followed by 20 minutes of rolling starting from that position.
