APH-2025-158

Overview:

• 6-Week Focus: Ben Galper Basic Grip Program
  • As written: 4 sessions x 4 weeks, extend to 6 weeks to allow for grappling.
  • Limit sessions to 60-minutes (including warm up and support) to allow recovery.
• Weekly Objective: Adjust difficulty and develop follow-up training plan.

Assessment:

• Sleep Quantity (hours): 8
• Sleep Quality (1-5): 3
• Mood (1-5): 3
• Soreness (1-5): 1

Training:

• Open Mat:
  • 6 x 5 minute rounds, live sparring
    • Stuck to focus on HQ passing: 4 / 6 rounds.
    • One of the exceptions was spent helping a teammate work a position he requested.

Review:

• Difficulty (1-10): 7
• Performance (1-10): 8
• Mat Hours: 1
• What worked well:
  • Overall I did a good job staying focused during rounds.
  • I also did a good job in those rounds forcing myself back to the position(s) I wanted to work, instead of “just winning the round” with things I knew were already A-game.
• What didn’t work well:
  • Not many people got to SLX from HQ on me, but SLX is a position I also want to spend some more time defending (specifically while trying to stay standing).
• Plan for next time:
  • Continue with SLX work in class and review HQ passing.
