jiujitsu + no carb day = no fun

sluggish... and tired, but i got through it. it was a great workout.

Anyway, i will be entering into a competition in early August (all white belts). I am going to kick some ass by then (already giving blue belts problems and this is my 5th session). Once i get my technique down I'll be able to apply my strength that much better. The groups are classed by age. Hopefully I can get my hands on some more info soon.

Circuit A - 2x, no rest in between exercises, rest 2min after circuit is done then repeat
10 reps per exercise
front squat - 185/2x10
incline BB press - 185/2x10
lunges - 40/10, 30/10
DB bench press - 60/2x10 (1 DB isbroken, goes no further than 60)

Circuit B - 2x, no rest in between exercises, rest 2min after circuit is done then repeat
10 reps per exercise
Step ups - 40/10, 30/10
chin ups - bw/2x10
reverse hyperextensions - 50/2x10
DB row - 80/2x10

Started both front squat and BB incline with 185 because 205 seems to be my 10RM on both and I don't want to push too close to failure. 185 is my 12-13RM.

Overall good workout... still recovering from the no carb day yesterday, i fucking hate it.

You already have alot of strength, so if you get your technique down you should own.

Upper Power/Lower Strength

Speed bench @ 60 % - 155/8x2
Rack Deadlifts - 345/10x3 (1" below knee)

assistance work
Bulgarian squat - 135/3x8
Standing DB press - 40/3x12
Pullups - bw +25/20 total
EZ bar curls - 65/2x10

Last week tweaked my back a little on the last set of deads. So did some rack deads and had my dad fix my form up... I had improper firing of the posterior chain. I tended to use my hip abducters too much (bending knees in). Fixed that, weight was light as fuck and really worked my lower back nicely seeing as that what has been bothering me the past week. Back to the heavy stuff next week.

Upper Strength/Lower Power

Bench Press - 185/3, 205/3, 255/1, 265/1, 275/1, 285/fail, 230/3
Speed Squat @ 60% - 215/8x2

assistance
1 Legged DB SLDL - 70/3x10
BB Rows - 205/3x8
Weighted Dips - bw +25/3x8

Good workout.. this weekend was rough, cheated on my diet a lil bit, drank a decent amount, chilled in the sun... good shit.

anyway, 275 was lite as fuck, felt as though i could've gotten another rep at least. I think I should've ditched the 255 set, kind of a waste. I'll get 285 next week

should have given yourself somewhere in the ball park of 3-5min when attempting a heavier weight.

2min is barely enough to recovery metabolically but not near enough to recover neurologically.

Your right, my dad said the same thing. I should rephrase... I didn't fail, the bar stalled, dad tapped it barely, and it went up... it never started coming back down which is a good thing. i'll just make sure i don't jump the gun again next week

Upper Power/Lower Strength

8kg kettlebell swings (25 reps) to get heart rate up
static stretching

Speed bench @ 60 % - 155/8x2
Deadlift - 315/15x1

assistance work
Bulgarian squat - 155/2x8
OH db press - 60's/3x8
Pullups - bw +25/1x10, 2x5 (20 total)
Hammer curls - 30/3x8

working back into those deads, really went for form today. wasn't trying to push it at all. worked on keeping my core tight and firing my posterior chain in the right order, as well as alternating my grip after every rep. I definately felt weakened, but not due to a strength loss of any kind, but because of my "injury".

anyway the rest of the workout was awesome, bulgarian squats went WAY up. used some 60's for the OH press which is good. also, my pullups were done in the least sets ever (3)... will probably use more weight next week.

also had a nice warmup, really helped to stretch things out and get the muscles warm

Good numbers you're putting up all around. What's your bodyweight at?
