I meant hi rep, low weight, yeah.
In terms of energy: waking up always sucks, but I have been sleeping with all my blinds open, so the sun wakes me up in the morning. Green tea with honey (small caffiene + some of the only sugar I'll get all day) once I get into the office. When I drink water in the office, it's mostly hot water, which forces me to drink slower. After lunch, fish oil gels, vitamin D, men's multivitamins, and alphalipoic acid, which is green tea extract, takes about two hours to kick in and gives me fantastic energy for the rest of the day. It's the shit.
Yesterday was my last hard workout of the week. I got just what I was hoping for in a practice: lots of sparring, and training partners who didn't suck but I could still beat. During standup sparring I got six or seven consecutive takedowns at one point. On the mat, I was able to get different subs and sweeps, lots of halfguard (which is my game for no-gi) and butterfly guard (which I've been developing for gi,) omapolatas and reverse triangles. The week before a tourney, I like to train with people I can beat, just to build confidence in my moves, make me more willing to try things than I would against someone stronger.
Feeling good.
