Day 2 - November 25th, 2020

 Day 2 - November 25th, 2020

I completed the same workout as yesterday except for the suriashi and teppo as I was in a smaller room this time around.  It was difficult today because I was sore and was thinking if it would be smart to have a day off of the week just for rest and stretching.  I think I would have a rest day on Sundays.  I will have to do some more research on what muscles are the most important to a sumo wrestler.  I might also be getting a gym membership to a place in town that I could go work out on the machines.

I have also been doing some research and there seems to be a foreign exchange program with Nihon University through my current college.  It also looks like they have a graphic design option, which is my current major.  I heard they have a sumo club as well, so this might be a good choice.  However, I am unsure if they teach in English.

I will contact them somehow and see what they require for international students.  If only I knew Japanese.

Day 4 - November 27th, 2020

  Day 4 - November 27th, 2020 Did my shiko and squats but stopped there. I lifted some weights to focus on my triceps because I think my form is off on the push ups. I got a gym membership as well, so I'll be going there to work out on the machines. I don't know much about protein powder and whatnot but bodybuilders use it, right? Surely it would help put on weight. I'll do some research on that. I'll also see if the judo club nearby are having practices because of covid. I was also thinking of not only studying sumo techniques, but also similar sports and how they train/their techniques.

Day 5-7 - November 28th to November 30th

Day 5-7 - November 28th to November 30th  I didn't do any workouts, unfortunately.  I will definitely work out tomorrow at the gym.  I plan on working on both the legs and arms.  I might be looking at finding a job so I can save for potential college transfers.  But until tomorrow, I will just lift the weights I have in my room.  Are there any good books on sumo techniques and training, I wonder?
