my training partner is out for this week, he competed in a PL meet and is pretty sore. So he is taking the week off to recoup. I decided to find out where my seated military press max is so that when we officially start the 5/3/1 program I'll know where to start at. And since i was able to bang through my workout in a half hour I decided to go to Jiu Jitsu as well.

In jiu jitsu our instructor showed us counters to the double under stack pass. Getting both hooks into your opponents hip/groin seemed the most practical. There was another he showed us that didn't feel right to me. I drilled the move, but I don't think it is one that I would ever use.
Open Mat
I started to roll with Jamie. Jamie has a pro mma fight coming up in the beginning of april that I think I will go see and show my support. Jamie has a good wrestling background, did no gi training for 2 years prior to starting Jiu Jitsu. Very quick on the ground! And got promoted (deservedly) to green belt fairly quickly. We started with him in open guard and I got to half guard. I would pass to side control, hang out there looking for various submissions and he would escape to half guard. This was a cycle for the first 10 minutes with me controlling him pretty well from half and side. At one point I sunk in the tightest north south choke I've ever sunk in on anyone. He just hung out, i'd adjust, nothing, adjust again, nothing, squuuueeeeezzzzzeeeee, nothing!!! I'd feel him adjust to take pressure off the back of his neck since at times I am sure it was a crank, but a tap did not come. I for the life of me can not understand how he didn't tap...he says that his neck just doesn't feel the pressure from those. I moved back to side and eventually he escaped and had me in side control now. I tried turtling and getting to my knees, he took my back and we began the hand control fight. After a few minutes of hand fighting he sunk in the RNC.
The next roll was a quick one. I started in open guard and as he tried passing I turtled up again. As he was on my side and then went to the front of me I kind of just froze thinking about a granby roll or the "dummy drag" or the peek out escapes. While I hesitated he promptly landed a peruvian neck tie on me.
With him in open guard now, i passed to side control. He eventually managed to turtle, while he did i set up a head and arm guillotine (which I don't like, prefer the no arm version) and sat back for the choke. I could tell there was too much space, with a gi on it seems tougher to nail this one and I should have tried to look for the no arm version. He escaped and during his guard pass attempt I managed to sweep him. From side control I almost had a kimura, straight armbar, americana as he was defending but he managed to elude all of them.
He recovered guard and went for a scissor sweep. As I defended I posted on my right arm and in an effort to complete the sweep Jamie went to pop my hand off the ground by pulling my elbow. He popped it pretty hard and managed to hyperextend it (same one I hyperextended last week). i was in a dit of pain and had to stop. Totally an accident, he was just a bit higher (wrist might have been better) up on my arm and with it being somewhat injured from last week and with all my weight on it, it got tweaked. I sat out the rest of the night.
Oh, afterwards Jamie grappled with my instructor who had a north south choke on him two or three times. Jamie just doesn't seem to be affected by the north south choke and I think it was a little frustrating from my instructor to not get a tap from it either.
