@Sidney Elmes I'm a bigbig fan of Vilnius in the summer time. Budapest too, if we're talking eastern europe city-vibe. But, I also hear Ksamil/Sarande in Albania is quite underrated. Also closer to Malta, but guess it depends what vibe you're looking for. Heard well about Slovenia and Montenegro too, as underrated picks. I haven't been there myself though. (yet) But I run a community with +350 travel advisors, so I have my sources, hahah. 😂

@Sidney Elmes Yeh I get that. There's also a 30-min ferry that goes from Corfu, Greece to Sarandë, Albania. That's how we plan to do it. 😅 Catch two places in one go. Cause Albania only has 1 airport in Tirana, which is like 4-5 hour drive away from Sarandë.

@Sidney Elmes Haha yeh

@Andrei Kashkin My girlfriend's IG algorithm gives the best recipes. My algorithm always just gives me some swoll dude telling me to eat rice and chicken the whole week. 😂😂

@Aga Kosciuszko Nice! I actually changed mine to pick up one more MT class tonight. 😅

@Andrei Kashkin Haha, can't wait to get manhandled! 😂

I missed a training on Wednesday, cause I got too caught up in some work for my own community. Luckily I was able to catch up as a new class has opened up for Sundays, so I signed up right away. It's 1.5h technique class, where we just focus on techniques without any sparring. – Which fits me perfectly for a Sunday class, haha. Definitely gonna be my new Sunday tradition.

@Sidney Elmes When you say ''bodybuilding split'', do you mean like the typical: Day 1: Chest and triceps Day 2: Back and biceps Day 3: Legs and shoulders I've myself been letting go of everything ''machine'', always perform an exercise standing (with exception of bench press), no belts, straps, etc, and do free weights only. (barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, bodyweight, etc.) It just feels wrong to sit in the preacher curl bench just isolating one bicep, when I could be using more of my body and stabilizing muscles. I don't really do any plyometrics / athletic work, when I'm at the gym, as we do this in MT classes. Maybe I could work more on that... Just not sure how good the space is for that type of stuff at my gym. When I'm at the gym, I try to focus on just heavy weights. Pushing, pulling, carrying, etc. (the stuff we actually don't do in MT classes) Had a bad habit last year of just doing what I felt like, and it often ended up with me hitting the bag for too long or jumping rope. 😂 Not the ideal way to spend your time, when your goal is to re-build muscle and strength. I think I'm getting somewhere, but could probably still work on how I structure my gym days outside of MT classes. I know I have to think differently than I used to before I started martial arts, when my trainings were more bodybuilding focused.

@Sidney Elmes Interesting... I also do weights Mon/Wed/Fri, then MT Tue/Thu. Sometime I push my Friday weight training to Sat/Sun, depending how my body feels, my plans for the weekend, and to some times align my training schedule with my girlfriend's, so we have a training together as well. Man, I did an intense leg day one time, the day before MT, and I was so freaking sore when showing up to Muay Thai. I made the mistake of telling my sparring partner, and bro decided to jab my leg, and I just crumbled. 😂
