    Weds 3/28

    Missed all last week due to work and travel. Can't do anything about it, other than pick up where I left off.

    Press

    3 x 230. That might be an all time PR. Not sure.
    3 x 220. All reps paused
    3 x 220. All reps paused

    Incline (w/ press grip)

    6 x 265
    10 x 230 - wanted 12, but triceps died out.

    Dips - 2 sets to failure

    Lying Triceps Extensions (w/ kettlebells)

    3 x 8-11 x 35 lbs

    Nice. So are you starting to do more pressing olympic style like Rip is advocating now in SS 3rd edition, like the Tommy Suggs platform vid, if you've seen it? Using a lot of hip drive off the bottom, starting each rep from the shoulders, and lots of lay back?

    If I am, I'm not really doing it consciously. The paused reps aren't any different than the touch n go reps other than they are paused. Just trying to do that to build speed. I don't think there is much if any hip involement at the bottom and layback is not excessive.

    Friday 3/30

    Paused Squat

    10 x 45
    5 x 135
    5 x 225
    1 x 275
    1 x 315
    1 x 365
    1 x 405
    3 x 455. Pretty easy

    Deadlifts

    5 x 225
    1 x 315
    1 x 405
    1 x 475
    1 x 515

    Stiff Leg Deadlifts (standing on 4 mats)

    6 x 385
    6 x 385

    Seated Machine Rows

    3 x 10 x 170

    Felt good to squat and pull after missing a week. Strength is way down on both of these. Looking to try and build it back up with as little work as possible. Sounds lazy I know, but its just a fact that my work and family life just isn't leaving much gym time.

    Wow, those are some strong paused squats. How long do you pause? I don't remember seeing those in your log before, although I do recall your doing them from a dead stop on the pins. I have been wondering about adding them into my program later.

    I wonder if they would sky rocket my squats like the speed work has done for my deadlift.

    Weds 4/11

    Missed another week last week. I was sick as shit with what I thought was allergies, but it was obviously something else. It traveled down into my chest and really did a number on me. I didn't miss any work, but at the end of the day I didn't have shit left in me for training. I probably could have pushed through a light workout, but I was happy to go home and go to bed. What a bitch.


    Press

    20 x bar
    5 x 135
    1 x 175
    1 x 195
    1 x 215
    1 x 235
    1 x 245
    1 x 245. 10 lbs below PR
    5 x 205. 3 reps shy of PR

    Incline Press

    9 x 235
    12 x 205

    Dips

    2 sets to failure w/ bodyweight

    One Arm DB Tricep Extensions

    1 x failure w/ 35 lbs

    After the missed week and shitty diet, all my weights were down. Hopefully Friday is a better day.

    Sunday 4/15

    Squat

    5 x 455
    12 x 365


    Wow. The successive weeks of missed workouts have really taken a toll on my strength and endurance. 455 felt alot heavier than it should have. 365 was actually feeling really good and I was thinking about 15 reps, but I just totally ran out of air. That's what happens when you are out of shape.

    I worked out tonight with my main MMA client Brandon. He has made alot of progress since coming to see me. He is 1-0 in amateur competition and has his second fight coming up in Mid-may.

    Anybody interested in me posting his log on here????

    Ditto.

    Everyone I know who trains MMA has this training mindset of no lifting heavy....they just practice sparring, mat/grappling work and then do circuits of bodyweight and light weighted exercises for high reps combined with LSD running to train and get in shape. It'd be interesting to see how you approach it Andy.
