It's funny, I can do 5x8 with weighted push ups +90 lbs on my back but when I go over 10 reps on BW I crap out pretty easily.

That's actually kind of weird... you'd think you could just go for days without the extra weight..

Well I am training different energy systems. The CP/ATP energy system accounts for about the first 0-15 seconds of exercise. It is good for high intensity short bout training. Once I get past past that time frame I start using another primary energy system that I never train. So I just gas.

fufu · 01-28-2008, 12:55 PM

Also, my work capacity sucks...I never train low RI's and my ability to recover blows.

yup, i'm the same way. completely different exercise.

Could it be that you're just mentally conditioned to stop when you hit that number (8 is a common rep number for a lot of people). I know when I hit 8 I have to consciously remind myself that I still have 7 more.

Absolutely. If you dont think you can go past 8, you won't

Which is why I dislike counting reps and dislike timing my stretches

There are alot of factors making it more difficult, that may be one.

warm up
static stretch
foam roll

Overall flexibility has improved significantly. Still tight as fuck in the lower lat area it feels. Foam rolling it hurts like a motherfucker. I want to get that resolved before BJJ which is in less than 2 weeks.

Im telling you dude, its your hip flexor. Me and my brother both had the same deal. Try some decompression hangs on a pullup bar before you stretch them, and when you do stretch them.... stretch them like a motherfucker. I'm talking minimum 5 minutes per leg.

DOMS · 01-31-2008, 12:44 PM

I envy your Deadlifts, fufu.

Solid workout!

Nice, thanks man. I'm gonna go stretch now and try it out.

How are your hip flexors feeling after the stretching?

Mine are normally pretty tight too, but a good 3-5 minutes per leg of stretching really seems to help me, also I think stretching any opposing muscle group helps a lot. I started to spend about 20 minutes stretching before every workout just to prevent and help deal with problems (also, being able to sit on my heals would be nice - still working on that issue though).

fufu · 01-31-2008, 09:18 PM

They are better, but I don't think I will see the best improvements until after a week or so of stretching them.

I static stretch for for about 45 minutes after each workout and a 15 minute warm up with dynamic stretching before hand.

fufu · 01-31-2008, 09:30 PM

Side note, my traps are sore as FUCK.

I also had a dream last night I cheated horribly on my diet and I felt like shit for doing it...god damn cutting nightmares.

I'm getting cravings constantly this time around.
