After some consideration, I have decided to return to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which I plan to practice 1x per week. I quit a few years ago as a three stripe white belt and I'm excited to return being stronger and heavier!

Still alive. Thriving, even.
Recently I have switched coaches after roughly four months of amazing help from SSC Michael Shammas. My new coach is Nick Delgadillo, who I figured could help me best with my new BJJ aspirations of earning my blue belt.
I've been grappling one to two times per week since the last post, but have also suffered a minor back tweak from a heavy squat. I won't go into much detail as it is almost gone already.
That being said, here's the good stuff:

** Cleans 5x3x55kg (~121lbs)
Deadlift 3x5x122.5kg (~270lbs)
* = Tweaked my back here and experienced petechiae for the first time (might be from holding my Valsalva wrong)
** = Skipped
03/11/2024
Press 5x3x59kg (~130lbs)
Bench 4x5x70kg (~154lbs)
Chins 1x5x10kg (~22lbs), 3x5 @ bodyweight
03/12/2024

** Deadlift 1x5+x135kg (~297lbs)
*** Paused squat 5x3x105kg (~231lbs)
* = Skipped
** = Did 5

Press 4x5x54kg (~119lbs)

*** RDL
* = Failed, only managed 2x1x127.5kg (~281lbs), 2x117.5kg (~259lbs). Lacked energy to grind, fear of injury was still there.
** = Skipped
*** = Back felt stiff and weird, only did 5x60kg (~132lbs) and 3x90kg (~198lbs).

So far I've been weighing myself weekly on Saturdays and on an empty stomach at the same time. The last 2 weeks I've been stuck between 85kg (~187lbs) and 86kg (~189lbs) of bodyweight. I track my calories most if not all days of the week and seem to be at a weekly average of 4.000 to 4.200 calories, although there might have been 1 or 2 days of 2.700 calories. I'll keep monitoring, and I know that I just have to eat more (which I can definitely do, but do not look forward to doing). Some weights (such as the squat) are getting really hard to face, and I miss deadlifting from the floor instead of pulling from the rack. Presses have been very exciting and I hope to advance them more. BJJ has been going great too. I want to reach 90kg of bodyweight soon.
