This routine is all about the Bench. Legs work is strictly maintenance. The next routine will be a balanced one.

What are you stats at the moment Doms if you dont mind me asking?
I'm 5'10" at ~220 or so. I have no idea what my BF% is.

I'm yawning my butt off. I still haven't recovered from yesterday's workout. I'm still sore from my Krav Maga class. And I'm mentally drained from days on end of programming. But I needed to do something physical, so I went for it.

New Bench PR: 215. I'll try to do better next time.


Posted by: StanUk

5"10 @ 220 is impressive man! unless of course your 30% Bf, but judging by your pictures your far from that

Congrats on the bench PR

Actually, it was my first trade. It turned against me pretty fast, but it was a very low risk/reward trade. I was just getting my first taste of real trading and see if I could pull the trigger and kill the trade if it went bad. Which I did with no hesitation.
The main thing is that you're back in the game, man

What sorta stuff are you doing in Krav right now then? Hows the class usually structured? A lot of different things per class, or focusing on one thing each class? I've been in classes that do both, lol

I've got a bit of a gut, but between my jogging the last month and now my Krav classes, that's going down. I don't have much fat elsewhere.

Thanks, Gaz!

The class always starts with cardio. We jog around the mat for a while. During the jog we also jog sideways, high-step, and switch up direction.

We always start the meat of the class with punching and kicking. So far, we've followed up with chokes, elbowing, and kneeing on different days.

Today was my first multi-person drill. I started at one end of the mat with my eyes closed. Then another student chocked me from behind or the front. I had to break the hold, take the attacker out. Then I had to run past two people, one student and my instructor (who's 6'4" and weighs about 270 pounds). After I fight through them, I reach the other side of the mat and punch a pad held by another student for 30 seconds.

Rinse, lather, and repeat 2 more times.

That'll take something out of you.

I'm going to place my next trade tomorrow. It's going to be a "financing" trade.

I'm going to sell -3 vertical WMT (Walmart) Apr08 52.5/55 bear call spreads @ limit of $0.55. The will yield a total credit of $1.55. Then I'm going to purchase 1 KO (Coca-Cola) Apr08 60 put for $1.65.

The above will result in a debit of $0.01 plus the commission of $12 for a total debit of $22.

WMT, trading at 50.79, hasn't traded higher than $51.57 for the last year.

KO, trading at 59.96, has been trading in a channel from 56.49 to 60.83. That's a channel that is 4.35 in width. Right now it's just off the high of the channel and 3.47 from the bottom. If I even get a 50% retracement, that's a profit of 1.73. It has so far only taken 5-10 trading day for the stock price to move from the top to the bottom (or vice versa) of the channel.

I chose to use WMT to fund KO because they don't trade at parity, but WMT tends to trade in the same general general direction, but much flatter. The swing of KO are wilder.


My max loss is, theoretically, kind of high. It's a $5.85 (the 2.5 between the vertical strikes times the three contracts). My max profit (unless KO just breaks down) is $1.73. That's a risk reward of over 3/1. But statistically, and technically, the odds of hitting maximum loss are very low. I also realize that the greeks will work against me a little. But this will be offset somwhat by my put and the longs.

Plus, neither KO or WMT has any earnings report of dividends in the next 30 days.

The market is looking very sour, even with the Fed's actions. If the both WMT and KO head south, I only stand to make more. Both from the put on KO and buy being able to buy the WMT closing trades for far less than I sold them.

The real fear is that KO doesn't go south and WMT heads north. I still don't believe that I'll suffer losing the full spread between the vertical stikes, but it'll devalue my KO put and make the WMT shorts a little more expensive, off-put by the longs, thankfully.

My negative exits are if neither move after 2 weeks or if WMT goes half way between the 52-week high and the shorts. I'll also bail if KO breaks out above its channel.

My positive exit will be if KO reaches a 75% retracement. I'll sell the WMT vertical shorts if they devalue by 75%. I'll hold on to my longs if I think WMT will rebound. If not, I'll sell them, too.

Anyway, that's my plan for tomorrow. I'm going to wait for 0930 EST (30 minutes after the opening bell) to place my order so that I can get a feel for where the stocks are going to go based on the Fed's rate cut.

Hell no. I've still got a long way to go. But live trading is an important step that I have to take.

Yes, I'd like to do it for a living and not have to work on computers. I've really come to hate that sort of thing.

I didn't take the WMT position. After watching it for an hour, I felt that it wasn't going to stop going up. Which is didn't. It busted through the resistance point.

So I did a basic bear put spread on KO. Which has lost some of it's value. But that's okay because I still believe the aforementioned retracement will happen. This trade is actually very nice in that it has a 1:1 (slight better, actually) risk to reward ratio.

That's the thing about being right, you're not always right, right away.

Without getting to technical, the first trade that I lost $80 on, gave back $20 of that loss.


Posted by: DOMS

Oh, and I'm going to try to make it to Krav fight night tomorrow. I doubt that I'll actually fight, but I want to see how it goes down.

Big Boy Basics - Day 1: My Teacher Is Trying To Kill Me

Today was a tough day. I got a lot of conditioning today.

I started the morning with a Krav Maga class. I'm pretty sure my teacher is trying to kill me. Not with a quick strike to the throat, but with stuff like medicine ball lunges.

But that wasn't enough for today. No, I started my next routine: Big Boy Basics. It's exactly what it sounds like, compound movements. Exercises are done in mirrored pair. Such as bench with row. It also has a weird (at least to me) periodization. Some days are 8x3 and some are 3x8.

Like the other Chad-built routines, I'm expecting good things from this.

The 8x3 at 80% of my 1 RM hit the sweat spot on Bench. I had just enough left to do the last rep. It wasn't too much and it wasn't too little.

I'm pleased to say that I felt zero pain in my left shoulder from the Militaries. w00t!

Oh, and I'm going to Cali from the 26th to the 1st. The aforementioned site that I'm building has gone way over the hours that I agreed to because the owner has added almost %60 to what was in the original specs.

He felt that I'd been working pretty hard and needed a break. So not only is he going to up my pay, but he gave me a complimentary round-trip to LA.


Posted by: goob

Simple and opposite weighted routine DOMS, I like it.

Bench vs BB Rows = Opposites.
Chins vs DB Military = Opposites

I read somewhere that doing opposite movements, can help aid recovery and improve performance, so it looks good. Great numbers too.

Also, nice one on the LA trip.

Krav Maga: Ground and Pound

Today's session started with the usual calisthenics and hand work. But we moved on to some very fun stuff.

We learned the seven elbow strikes of Krav Maga. We did the first two for a good bit of the class. That tore the shit out of my elbows. Strike after strike after strike on tombstones.

We finished off with some Ground and Pound. You straddle a tombstone and beat the living shit out of it for 5 minutes non-stop. You punched it, elbowed it, and did whatever it took to kill it. I think that I was the only one that head-butted their tombstone.

I didn't feel how worn out I was until I stopped. Good stuff!


Posted by: katt

you headbutted it??? Is that just something you threw in, or is that actually one of the moves they teach you?

Yes, we've been taught (in words only at this point) to use headbutts.

Headbutts are a legitimate technique if used at the right time. Krav Maga is all about practicality. If you're straddling someone and you're trading blows, holding his arms so that he can't hit you (preventing you from hitting too) and then bashing in his face with the crown of your forehead is a perfectly sound move.

Krav Maga: She Touches Me In Special Ways

I went to Krav tonight.

I paired up with a woman named Karen. She only weighs about 130-140 pounds. She's all muscle and low fat. She also has perfect technique and hits like a Slugger bat. She's been doing Krav for over two years solid. She still goes at least 4 times a week.

I tip the scales at just under 220 and her hits were staggering. And I mean that literally. She moved my ass around the mat.

I'd hate to be the guy that tried to mug her. That reminds me of a scene from a movie or a teevee show (I can't remember what it was). A guy tries to mug a woman. She's had self-defense classes and starts to fight back while defending herself. After a bit, the guy is trying to get away but she keeps dragging him back and screaming for help. At the end, just before someone shows up to "help", both the mugger, who's covered in blood, and the woman, are screaming for help.

My instructor also told us a true story about why you need to train as realistically as possible. His point was that, after attacking an "assailant" in class, you should practice putting some distance between you and the attacker. If you don't it in training, you won't do it in real life.

This was caught on the ATM's security camera.

A 3rd degree Kravist was at an ATM and a mugger walked up behind him and put a gun to his head. He then told the student to withdraw as much cash as he could and hand it over. In less than a second, the student snatched the gun from the mugger and had it pointed at him.

The problem is that, while training, the student would finish up by handing the gun back to the "attacking" student. So he did just that. He gave the gun back to the mugger. Thankfully, the mugger was so freaked out that he took off.

Moral of the story: train like it's the real thing.

If you're looking for a solid defense or some great cardio, this is it.


Posted by: DOMS

Just so you don't think I'm slacking. I've been in LA for a week and got back on Tuesday night. The problem is that, since I've been back, I've had a terrible head cold. I only have enough in me to do either weight training or Krav.

Since I'm paying out the ass for the classes, I chose Krav. Besides, Krav offers a bit of weight training (body weight) and a shit load of cardio. Whereas, weight training offers plenty of weight work, but no real cardio. And my primary goal right now is to lose fat.

I went yesterday morning and tonight. During one of the choking drills, as an "attacker", I ended up taking an elbow to the chops and a shin to the groin. But, as you all know, me likey the pain.

shit, i get that in bed every night!!!!!!

I'm still not 100% and am busy building that website and don't have much free time. So I've continued to opt for the Krav Maga over the weights.

Today we have a fun exercise. I forget the name (if it even has one), but it's called an Aggression Exercise. One guy loops a strap over your midsection from behind and another stands in from of you with a tombstone. Your goal is to march across the mat (about 50 feet) trying to punch the tombstone while the guy behind you tries to hold you back. And you have to do it for two minutes (back and forth). I like Aggression Exercises. I'm the only person in the class that went twice.

On a side note, I placed my third option trade today. It's an iron condor (62.5, 65, 57.5, 55) on coca-cola (KO). The risk/reward is about 2/1. Which is pretty good. Even more so when you factor in the odds.

Sounds like a fun class i love that kinda stuff. Cant comment of the trade lol no clue.

Sounds like your sort of exersice DOMS, I bet you picture Mexican's in front of you.......the whole class can't hold you back.

Oh, and an iron condor won't fly. You should not take advice from danny81international-stocks.com , not a good advisor.

Sounds like an interesting class. If you do 3 rounds of the aggression exercise, do they refer you for counseling?

that Aggression Exercise thing sounds interesting to say the least. so it's an actual tombstone? or am I missing something?

also the Krav class sounds hardcore. is it/what type martial arts is it?

how's everything going, man? the trading and whatnot? thanks for the PSU advice, got a new one yesterday, a 600 watter

Thanks, Brother Archangel!

At the end of most workouts, the instructor gives us a little Krav Dessert. If there is anytime left over after we've studied the techniques in class, our instructor will do whatever he can to grind us into the ground. That's Krav Dessert.

One example of what we do during that time is putting our feel out wide to the sides, dipping our butts as low as we can go (many arts call this the horse stance), and then having us hold a 15 pound medicine ball out in front. Then we have to take 6 inch steps to the side, all the way down the mat (50 feet or so) two times. And that's never enough to fill the time for Krav Dessert.

I don't think my instructor actually thought that anyone would take him up on the offer. At least the look of surprise on his face made me think so.

A tombstone is a hand-held punching mat that's about 18 inches wide, 36 inches wide, and 6 inches deep.

Krav Maga is the martial art that pretty much everyone in Israel who deals with violence uses. From body guards right on up to Mossad (the Israeli FBI/CIA).

The trading is going okay. If my current position works out (my third trade), I'll be back in the black.

Glad I could help. If you need anymore computer help, just ask.

Looking good Doms! Nice looking squats and calf raises especially. What are ab-rollouts?

Solid workout DOMS, right on with those calf raises.

Those ab rollers are damn painful, always feel it the next day...

Thanks, StanUk!

When doing Ab Roll-outs I use my adjustable DBs. You get down on your knees, place the DBs on the floor and then roll them out until your stomach is almost to the ground, and then you roll back up. They'll tear the shit out of your midsection.

Here's a man that knows! Ab Roll-outs are brutal.

Thanks, goob!

I've found that I need to carefully integrate my Krav Maga classes and my workouts. I feel that if I do too much that it affects both.

I go to Krav Monday morning, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, Thursday night, and Saturday morning. I simply cannot do weight training before I go to a Krav class.

So I think I'll do the following:

Monday AM: Krav
Monday PM: weights

Tuesday AM: off
Tuesday PM: Krav

Wednesday AM: Krav
Wednesday PM: weights

Thursday AM: off
Thursday PM: Krav

Friday AM: weights
Friday PM: off

Saturday AM: Krav
Saturday PM: off

Sunday AM: off
Sunday PM: weights

I'll start going to Krav Friday Night Fight Night in a couple of months, but I think I'll still do weights in the morning.

Oh, and I was also very bad. I made a home-made chocolate mousse from 7 oz of 62% cocoa, 6 eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

But it tasted oh so good.

hey, enough days of good, deserves a little bad.

things are looking a bit crazy in here, between the weights and the krav.

Nice program DOMS, that should cut you up quicker than a Thai dockworker.

A lot of cardio with the krav, and weights to boot, back onto the 2 workouts a day (sort of). I knew your routine looked too normal for you....

Posted by: DOMS

I've come to the conclusion that it's unlikely that I can do both Krav and weights on the same day. Even if the weights come after Krav.

Take today for example. I thought that I'd go to Krav in the morning and then do weights in the evening. Wrong!

My legs are completely shot. At the end of class, we had a full 15 minutes for Krav Dessert. So my instructor has us do lunges. A lot of lunges. A shit-load of lunges. And some them weighted.

We had to go back and forth across the mat, which is 50 feet (15.24 metres) long. And we were supposed to do one and half trips with a 20 pound yoke on our shoulders. But the mentality of Krav, and my instructor, is that if someone is doing something, so will you. So there were four of us, so we each needed to do three trips. So that's 4 times 3, which equals 12 trips total. That's a total of 600 feet (183 metres) of lunges, and with three of them weighted. Non-stop.

Like I said, my legs are shot. If I racked up and tried to squat, I'd gone down faster than a Thai hooker.

Every day of Krav may not be this bad, so I might be able to both on the same day. But I'm not going to plan on it.

You may need a less intense workout for a while. Perhaps over time your body will adjust to all the abuse, but it seems as if you've jumped into this accelerated training rather quickly.


Posted by: Brutus_G

Keep it up DOMS just sleep more and adjust your weightlifting volume and your body will adapt.

The classes are about and hour or just a bit longer. But there are very few wasted minutes. The closest that we get to inactivity is spending a minute or two listening to instructions when covering a new move.

Life is going pretty damn fine. I gave the details in your journal.

Oh, and I really did steal Gaz's sig.

I'm in complete agreement with you. I think I'm going to stick to the normal upper body routines, but do just actively recovery on the legs. My upper body feels fine, but my legs are shot.

Thanks, Brutus! Good tip on the sleep. When I don't get enough, I'm just ruined for that day.

Since my Krav workouts are all about endurance, I'm going to stick with low rep, high weight exercises. Except for the legs. Those I'm going to use light weight, high rep stuff.


Posted by: DOMS

Okay, I realize that I'm going to sound like a pussy, but I went to Krav again this morning and just guess what we did for Krav Dessert? Yep, freakin' lunges! But we only did 400 feet today (100 weighted). But I found out that the yoke isn't 20 pounds, it's 40 pounds.

So, I've got a plan in place for my next Krav workout. I'm going to boldy stride right into the gym. I'm going to proudly line up for the opening greeting. And then, I'm going to hit the floor and cry like a little girl.

Joking aside, today's class was great. We had a new choking exercise. Each student took turns standing in the middle of the others. Then the other students (four total) would take turns randomly choking the center person from the front, back, and side, non-stop for three minutes.

After the first minute or so, thinking goes out the window and your body will do what it knows. One student, Joey, reverted to his Aikido training. And when I choke, I won't let go for shit. You really have to pry me off. So Joey ended up having to throw me pretty much every time.

I think that I did rather well. Even towards the end when I didn't have much left, I kept consistently breaking the hold (which isn't about strength) and following up with a combination of good punches, palm strikes, and, my favorite, elbows.

I really did have a lot of fun.

Sweet sounds like a really good class.

That sorta stuff really does bomb you though, lol. Good going

I dunno if ive asked this before, but do they grade Krav? Like in some MA's they have white belt, yellow, black etc.

Thanks, Gaz!

Yeah, some places have belts and some use grades (1st, 2nd, 3rd and maybe 4th). The higher the grade, the more advanced the Kravist. For example, you don't get to do weapons training until you're third grade.

But the truth of it is that sort of thing is really downplayed. My instructor has only talked about grades or belts when telling stories about other Kravists. He hasn't mentioned it even once when talking about the class.

I haven't come right out and stated it yet, but if you go to a Krav instructor and he even mentions the idea of belts or grades during your initial consultation, you should probably just leave.

So far, "black belt factories" in Krav Maga are hard to find, but they're starting to pop-up. Take taekwondo for example. Most taekwondo dojos (or whatever they call them) are nothing more than places to buy black belts. It takes some work to find a solid taekwondo instructor.

In the class, it's usually easy to tell who are the more experience students. You can tell from physical conditioning and technique.

Out in the world, Kravists settle it the old Navy way: First one to die, loses.

Thats the best way IMO. Theres waaaay too much bogus shit in the MA world as it is. My old boss used to go to one where theyd do practically nothing, but the guy would peddle these shoes, or jackets, or some stupid crap he was trying to sell.

That was the whole point of the class, he was probably a below-average martial artist just blagging it to get some cash.

You should be able to tell who can kick your ass, thats the only "rating" system that really means anything in the real world, lol.

They had to pay for a test to earn their stripe, 3 per belt class.. (each and every kata was another test / stripe) Just another way to milk the system for more testing $$ and more ranks...

Like I said before, there's a 130 pound woman in my class who hits harder than a lot of guys that I've been in fights with. And she's just practicing. It all comes down to perfect technique.

This past week we had even more lunges. Plus, we do this crab side-walk exercise. You hold a 10 pound medicine ball out in from of you, drop down into the deepest squat that you can with your feet out wide. Then you walk sideways with 6 inch steps.

Between those two exercises, my hip mobility is crazy.

I've only been at Krav for a month and a half, but I'd be perfectly willing to throw down with most of the "black belts" out there.

The sad thing is that, for most of them, it's not their fault. They don't know any better.


Posted by: DOMS

A week ago, I forgot to take my glove to Krav Maga, so I went bare knuckle for that workout. It turns out that not only didn't it have a negative affect on my workout, I hit harder without them. So, I'm trying to every workout bare knuckle. By the end of class, I do have a slight tingling sensation in my knuckles, but so far it goes away in 10 minutes or so after class.


Well, I've come up with my own routine. I needed to because I couldn't do a prepackaged routine with Krav Maga. The routine needed to still work on strength, but not wear me down. Yet it still needs to be somewhat intense. It also had to be something that I could do after a Krav class.

Here it is:

Day 1, Legs
- 10x3 Squats at 80%.
- 3x10 seconds (supramax) Squats at 130%.
- 3x6 Zercher Good-mornings/Front Squat (superset) at 70%.
- 3x20 Overhead Squats at 40%.

Day 2, Bench Press
- 10x3 Bench Press at 80%.
- 3x10 seconds Bench Press at 130%.
- 3x6 EZ Curls/Weighted Dips at 70%.
- 3x2 minutes Bent-over Crucifix.

Day 3, Back
- 10x3 T-Bar Row at 80%.
- 3x6 Yates Row/Bent-over Row at 70%.
- Pull-up progression routine given to me by min0 lee.
- 20 Knuckle Push-ups.

Long time readers of my journal will recognize bits and pieces of other routines. I put the Knuckle Push-ups on back day because I had the room. Though I'm going to do them every day.

I chose not to do any direct shoulder workouts because my shoulders already get beat severely in Krav class from all of the punching. So the indirect work form the benching and rowing should be fine.

I just made this routine up on the spot, so expect me to change it a bit as I work through it. Plus, I'm willing to take any input.


Posted by: Scarface30

yeah, parts of this look very familiar.

how are you going to do the supramax hold on squats? just unrack it, and then stand there with it for 10 seconds?

all in all looks like a solid, well planned routine

Workout Type 1: Seven Deadly Sins

I feel like one of the seven deadly sins: sloth. I haven't done much in the way of weight training in the last 5 weeks. Since I started Krav. Well, that's changing as of today.

I'm pretty sure that I could feel the compression of my spine during the supramax squats.

The OH squats had little to do with muscle and everything to do with will power.

I used an RI of 1 minutes on the first and second exercises, 2 on the third, and 1 on the last.

Don't be so hard on yourself. A real sloth wouldn't have done any kind of workout. At least you were doing something.

Thanks, Gazhole!

My workouts are all about not only maintaining strength, but also trying to slowly increase it without wiping out between them and Krav. Plus, I put in a little core/fighter stuff.

Supramax is something that I picked up from the Total Strength Program (ala Chad Waterbury). Basically, you load up the bar with 125% of your 1RM and just unrack it. It helps you to both physically and mentally get use to heavier weights. I believe that it contributed a lot to raising my bench 1RM by 10 pounds in one month.

The Krav class is really paying off in terms of muscle growth. I noticed today that my abductors are a lot bigger than they use to be. Which I believe is all attributable to the classes.

I really do like the Krav.

Hi hunny, looks like things are ticking over nicely for you in here! Glad to hear your Krav is going well although i can't possibly imagine how you have any extra energy to do a resistance workout afterwards ... sheesh kebabs!

Isn't that always the way with OH Squats?? I do love them, but god they tax my system so much.

I really like your new program setup. It's great that you just have the bread and butter exercises there, too much and you'll just wear yourself out. I especially like back day, although the GM/Front Squat ss looks distinctly like something i was doing a couple of weeks back.

Surely you've been doing total destruction type workouts in Krav for the last couple of months?? That crab walk thingy sounds monstrous

I remember i went to circuit training one night to see what it was like, but i'd already done legs that morning. Well the warmup was BW squats, and she made us do about 200. Im not kidding, i almost lost control ... i couldn't believe i'd been so stupid to go to that class after training already. Then, one of the 10 stations was lunges (!!!) and another was squat jumps (!!!) ... i swear ... i crawled out of that room. Everyone else was sweating ... i was dissolving into a puddle


Posted by: goob

Hey DOMS, jus out of wondering, have you lost any fat/weight with the integration of Krav with your already crazy weight routines?


Posted by: danzik17

When you started doing Krav were you completely new to MA or had prior experience? Asking because once I graduate and start my job, I'm going to have a lot of weeknights open where I used to do homework/projects. I'm thinking about picking up some type of a MA, but I am horribly conditioned and never done anything like it before.

I all honesty, I haven't done both yet on a regular basis. That's my big goal for next week.

So very true.

Such a seemingly simple and easy exercise and it knocks the crap out of me more than most other exercises.
