    Press - 5 with 88lbs
    5 with 100lbs
    8 with 110lbs

    Assisted Dips - 5x10

    Assisted Chin-ups - 4x10

    felt my left shoulder hurting(read infraspinatus), damn it right on the first day. The first sets of dips required some prior stretching after that the shoulder got better.

    17/03/10

    Deadlift - 5 with 185lbs
    5 with 198lbs
    18 with 209lbs

    Back Extension - 5x12 Did 15 reps on the first set

    Hanging Leg Raise - 5 x 12 did the last set only 7 reps because i've tried to do with the leg straight instead of tucked in, next workout gonna try only with legs straight

    Got impressed with the number of reps pulled on the deadlift, almost puked doing those, took several breaths to pull the last ones, even thought i was going to pass out.

    edit: Maybe i did mistake my 1RM on the deadlift? The day i tested the deadlift i was kinda of sore and didn't have any belt hadn't eat properly and chalk, maybe i'm answering my own question? a little help here, please?

    btw i'm on body recomp right now, fuel your car style(i made that name, it's just that i focus ALL my carbs on pre and post training meals or shakes) , i don't eat carb on non-training days or at least try to keep it under 30g

    I've thrown my scale away and i'm only focusing on gaining/maintaining lifts poundages and measures trough tape.

    Last time i checked my bodyfat i was around 222lbs with 25% bf.
    My waist was around 43

    I always measure my waist on saturday, i'm already feeling fatloss, because i can finally use my belt again.

    Along with the WeightLifting i'm doing MMA training almost all days, with 2 sessions of sprint per week, and if i'm bored i'll do a light cardio session if it doesn't affect my recovery.

    I take sunday as the full recovery days(that means PLAIN REST, not any kind of heavy exercise)

    I'm also allowing around 4/5 cheat meals per week, normally i eat all day on saturday that's my most difficult day(read SQUAT DAY), because i plain suck at squatting.

    Also i'm living my dream, i train full time, and i'll be moving to Japan for one year to study and fight.

    Wow, that is bad ass being able to just focus on training. I myself (and probably alot of others here) am envious of your situation. Good luck with your fight game man.
