Fallen Heroes X - Saturday March 2026

We all had a great time at our third tournament. Shawn and Ryan put on a great show at Echo in Pleasant Hill. Claire and Dominic both worked hard on the table and I'm looking forward to training with them over the next 8 weeks for our next tournament. Both earned medals on both hands.

I had a hard time getting my head in the game during the SHW matches. There was a lot going on, but I should have worked harder to get my head right and I'm going to work on that for the next tournament in mid May. In the BMF class I really showed up. I remembered to watch the head ref and I hooked my leg on the leg of the table like I normally do. For some reason, I wasn't doing those things in the SHW class. I managed 3 wins in the BMF class which got me 2nd place. I lost twice to the winner. Both times he put me into a hook and I really didn't know how to respond. He was clearly stronger than me in his lane but I think I could have put up a better fight if I'd supinated. 

So we look forward to the MO Money Classic at Dirty Harry's Bar and Grill on Saturday May 16th. I want to put some more effort into designing a program for Claire. I don't want to cross the line into real weight lifting but I think there's more she could be doing that is in line with bodyweight exercise and general climbing around. Dominic just needs to be more consistent and have an actual program. No reason to waste all that testosterone he's got going at his age. I missed probably half my workouts, which is a shame. On the other hand, if I'm consistent this time around, I have more room to grow. 

I haven't pinned down a lifting program yet, but I plan to have something put together before Tuesday evening (24th) so I can get started.
