what weight are you up to? also, you're a lots-of-little-meals guy but have you considered IF'ing or tried it before?

« on: January 12, 2017, 03:42:19 am »surprised/confused about that db ohp, 20's x 6 wtf?
cool @ the schedule. swole up.
running before work (programming) has the opposite effect for me compared to most people, i'm more tired/mine wanders. maybe just takes longer to get used to, especially for 'night owls'. dno.
to clarify: all weights in kg. still 44lbs x 6 ain't great.

i've never benched with safeties, although if i'm going heavy for max reps i'll get someone to spot. if you work out at home that's obviously a bit more difficult. iirc loopie's kids are a bit young to be helping him with 205!

last night:
ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger is busted af
SORENESS: quads, hamstrings
MENTAL STATE: very tired
- warm up
- squat 110 x 10
- pull up x 13
- DB OHP 20s x 6 (
)
- hyper x 15
didn't have time or energy for much and was quite sore from sunday. but anyway good to get these (embarrassingly low, except for the pull ups, which surprised me, all done strict and full ROM) baselines. i have a bench baseline and a kroc row baseline more or less already.
this is my plan for the next two months. it's going to be interrupted by at least a couple of multiday trips.
starting training maxes:
(bw 75)
squat 110x10
bench 70x12
pull ups x13
kroc row 36x20R/17L
feel kind of small
goals:
(bw 80)
squat 140x10
bench 100x10
pull ups x20
kroc row 44x20R/20L
feel kind of swole
WEIGHTS 2x/week
- warm up
- (SL/DL SVJ, pogos, DSVJ)
- squat 3x6-8
- bench 3x6-8
-- hyper OR RDL 3x10-15
-- hyper sit ups OR hanging leg raises 2x10
- pull up 3x6-8
- kroc row
- curls 2x10-12
- triceps 2x10-12
GPP 2x/week
- run x ~30 mins
OR
- HIIT-style workout x ~30 mins
OR
- ultimate OR tennis OR something else like that
it's cold in the morning but not too cold to run before work. if i can get my sleep sorted i may start trying to do the GPP stuff then rather than after work. that said i'll do one or the other of these after work today. plus i'm finally getting a car this evening. helloooo quality of life improvement.
on an unrelated note, shit has gotten a little bit more emotional with the aforementioned bed company than i meant for it to. complicated situation. hate giving power over myself to other people. not going to get into it more than that at the moment but it's on my mind and definitely affected my sleep last night. oh well.

nah i'm from maryland, lived in DC the past 8 years until moving to pakistan. sparring with jon jones sounds like a recipe for a dislocated shoulder at best.

-1 for fast does lie for a homophobic joke that makes no sense.
i'm a lifelong duke fan but i can't defend this shit. he's like draymond green but joyless and not funny.

you're still a weird dude. just a decent scorer? he's led the league in points four times and is fourth all-time on the career PPG list. he's ninth all-time in win shares/48 minutes. he's even been in the top-ten in defensive win shares five times in his career.

thanks both, good advice. adarq i'm not talking about actually fighting, i meant more grappling/sparring. if i get into the training and it seems like an actual bout would be fun, i'll cross that bridge when i get to it. no interest in getting hit in the head or hitting someone else in the head. although, from a brain preservation perspective, i also really want a motorcycle.

give athletic anorexia a chance!!
no.
fwiw I absolutely hate bjj.. when I was boxing at ATT, I tried a few bjj classes (no-gi and gi). In the gi class I had several 250-300 lb. men eventually just lie on top of me while trying to choke me out. In the no-gi class I dislocated my pinky toe completely while doing drills on the mat, oh that was after doing like 10 minutes of chokes. hahaha. At that point I realized, I will do everything to stay on my feet if I have to defend myself. i'll stick2boxing. lol.
If you end up training with some dedicated wrestling/bjj/mma folks, you'll find some great training partners.. Those people are nuts and usually train pretty hard. It's a cool group of people.
pC!
yeah it looks like a recipe for lots of injuries. OTOH, i want to fight someone. the size difference thing could be kind of cool even, at least in sparring, because you have to play to each other: the class i watched in saigon had big dudes grappling with little women and they just made it work. obviously the guy could just crush the woman if he wanted to in a lot of cases, but that's not what the training is about, and people were working together on it. seemed like fun.

many chicks do not dig the huge pec look, in my experience. i was actually having this conversation with my special lady friend last night, looking at a pic of hugh laurie (dr. house) in which he's jacked and shirtless. and i said, if i gained like 10 pounds (or 20 considering i'm way lighter than i though i was) i think this is more or less what i'd look like. and she said, would you want your pecs to be that big, though?
implication clear: pecs not crucial. arms/shoulders and butt, more crucial.
ivan stoitsov's got it down.

« on: January 08, 2017, 11:15:43 pm »Did you end up trying BJJ or not yet? It's an addictive martial art/sport. I am starting up once normal life resumes at the end of Jan.
haha no i posted that update last night and the only things i've done since are watch "tinker, tailor, soldier, spy," have sex, sleep, eat breakfast, and come into the office. i'm on the forum as a way to avoid looking at my email, which is predictably terrifying after two weeks away.
BJJ will have to wait until my finger is well enough to grab with.

got back from my trip last night. ended up being great. only did the one proper workout but not fussed about it. i was looking forward to trying BJJ with my buddy who lives in saigon but ended up mangling my right ring finger my first morning there. gripping is still a bit of a challenge (actually even typing is a bit uncomfortable) so needless to say i did not get to grapple.
today i worked out with my friend, following her plan. next time, my plan.
WEIGHT: 74.8kg (!!!!!!! if that scale is accurate i've lost like 8 pounds since arriving here)
ACHES/INJURIES: knees a little
SORENESS: none
- warm up
- HIIT circuits x 5, each A/B pair 40/20 x 2
can't remember all the exercises. a couple of them were real gassers, though. one where you squat then jump up and do a 180 and squat again, then back, etc.
- yoga x 10 mins as cool down
knees were slightly displeased by the end. also, shit i'm light. maybe i should just do a round of starting strength and eat more once my finger heals enough to hold onto stuff. i don't like feeling skinny. athletic anorexia is not lbss's style. if i could get up to 80kg or so and still as lean as i am then i would feel so good. yes.
also, i really got into the idea of doing BJJ/MMA when i was hanging out with my boy in vietnam. seems like so much fun and such a good workout. maybe i'll start in with SS once my finger is okay and then after i'm a bit back in that groove i'll go try a BJJ class. it's a bit too cold to play tennis at night now; during the day would be fine but i have a job.
