Trying to catch up on a couple of relatively light weeks. August is a real pain sometimes because we're starting the Fall semester. Somehow that's always busier than starting the Spring semester, but we're going now and I feel that I'm well prepared for the tournament on Sept. 12. Had a couple of supermatches at the August 30th practice.

August 30th practice
Got called out for a supermatch on both arms. Went 3-0 against Masen, who I outweigh by 200 lbs. He's a pro and a leftie and was ranked 4 spots above me on the practice leaderboard. Left elbow felt really good, I stayed WAY outside the whole match. Brent challenged me on the right and I went 2-0 against him. I was able to catch his hits and take his hand straight to the pad. My pronation is very strong now. I'm starting to think that even if I end up staying in the SHW category, maybe sitting around 275 or so, I might be able to be competitive in the pros in the next couple of years.
Masen messaged me saying that he'd like to help me lose weight. He's trying to gain weight, so even if it just ends up the two of us being accountable to each other, I think it's going to be good.
