    Well in a year i was able to go from a very fat 247 lbs to a pretty lean 170 lbs, but now I think its time to add some unbridled strength to my jiujitsu game. Anyways this will make me record what I'm doing so that I have log of hopefully will be my gains.

    As of right now this is my 3rd week strength training

    Bench.......155x5
    Squat........205x5 (working on form still...weight goes up easy)
    Deadlift.....295x5 (again form is coming along)
    SOHP........115x5
    BOR..........105x5 i think itll be up next time i do them

    feel free to comment, anything that will help

    jiujitsu in the morning, my knee was bothering me from a toehold from saturday, but at night it went away with the ass kicking i was receiving. all i gotta say is fuuuuuuuuuuuck I'm exhausted just got my blue belt tonight in jiujitsu last 10 mins of class was getting a fresh guy thrown on me every 30 seconds, well jumping on top of me would've been probably a better description, but before that, they had me rolling nonstop for 45mins with all the higher belts pretty much.

    Another side note, both my ears are fucking killing me but i hate ear guards.


    well lets get to my strength training i did before that

    SOHP
    95x5
    105x5
    115x5
    115x5
    120x5 (had to push press the last rep and it was a battle)

    Deads
    225x5
    295x5
    300x5
    300x5
    305x4 just couldn't get the bar to clear my knees

    squat (remember still getting comfortable with the weight)

    95x10 with a 3 second pause at bottom
    135x5
    185x5
    205x5
    205x5
    205x5 it all went up easy and i felt a lot more comfortable maybe i should really go at it now

    mixed up with some chin ups and pull ups

    curl grip
    11x2

    the opposite of curl grip (not sure what to call it)

    7x3

    Congrats on the Blue Belt!

    Sounds like you have a good routine for gaining some good functional strength. I would also incorporate some grip training. Whether it was towel pullups or a nice gripper like a vice gripper.

    i cut my workout short to do some muay thai but ended up going home i could barely hold my arms up for bag work then didnt feel like getting my ass kicked when i sparred and then didnt feel like being someones grappling dummy during jiujitsu tonight, just gotta rest

    bodyweight of 172, kinda torn between eating a fuckload and packing on what i can and trying to maintain weight because i got a tourney coming up on the 21st and id like to do middle weight which is 173 cut off.

    Try throwing your gi top over a pullup bar and doing pullups hanging onto the collar. I used to be a S&C coach for a BJJ/MMA gym and my athletes there seemed to have some good results from this drill.
