BJJ 10:30-12:00

Drilled a couple takedowns and some arm bars and side control escapes.

Rolling went well.

fUnc17 · 05-23-2008, 02:26 PM

What are you doing for conditioning

fufu · 05-23-2008, 07:45 PM

circtuit training x2 a week. Check out my logs back a week or so.

fufu · 05-24-2008, 11:22 AM

Today's workout -

warm up

weighted chin ups - RI 90 seconds
4x6 +20 lbs
1x6 bodyweight

been a while since I have done straight sets with rest intervals longer than 60 seconds. My bodyweight chin ups are way better than they used to be but it seems when I add weight they are mediocre. Still, they have improved. I find when I think I am not going to be able to do another I have it in me. My top portion of the rep has gotten alot stronger. That used to be my week point. Now it seems I can rocket up and pull my chest up to the bar.

reactive bilateral jumps off a standard bench - RI 60 seconds
5x5 at bodyweight

corner jam circuit w/ 100 lbs +20 lb weighted vest - no rest
5 twists each side
5 unilateral overhead press each side (staggered stance)
5 unilateral rows each side
5 front squats
20 crunchs
5 rounds

tough shit, 10 minutes and 50 seconds of non stop work

half kneeling cable woodchop circuit using 50 lbs for everything- no rest
low to high - 1x15 each side
high to low - 1x15 each side
2 rounds

unilateral seated curl machine -
1x12 each arm at 50 lbs

unilateral overhead DB elbow extension -
1x20 each arm at 25 lbs

Awesome workout. First time back in the gym in about 10-11 days due to being sick. Before/during the circuit I felt zoned out but I didn't let up the pace. I actually find being spaced out is helpful during a circuit because I am not thinking and I feel sort of trance like. Anything to keep the mind off the actual work is good.

Time to stretch.

fufu · 05-25-2008, 11:53 AM

35 minutes of light cardio all layered up.

Just sweating out all that sodium I took in last night during the fights. Also trying to see what it is like to cut weight. Just a couple pounds.

Time to stretch.

Nate K · 05-25-2008, 12:17 PM

"10 min. 50 sec of nonstop work" Yuh wtg looks yummy.

fufu · 05-25-2008, 12:45 PM

twas very gut

Awesome stuff Mr Fu. Simply, Awesome.

fufu · 05-25-2008, 08:46 PM

ultimate frisbee 5:30-8:30

today I was reminded of why I dislike team sports.

fufu · 05-28-2008, 01:23 PM

BJJ 10:30-12:30

Drilled some takedowns, sweeps from guard, knee bar and arm bar.

Rolling afterwards went OK. I rolled with a blue belt once and a purple belt twice and didn't get subbed, so that was good. No submissions on my part however.

Afterwards took a 40 minute bike ride around town. Lots o' hills.

Time to stretch.

tallcall · 05-29-2008, 02:27 AM

You seem to be doing very good in here! So how much would you say you remember from the Royce Gracie visit? I only ask because I know De La Riva went through so much stuff with us and I only remember a small portion of it. Hope the cut goes well.

I remember a decent amount but it was all gi stuff and we only train no-gi in the spring/summer. So alot of that stuff will go out the window. However, there were some nice takedowns he showed us that can be done with no-gi.

I am pretty much done with the cut. My weight is where it needs to be for the competition at the end of June so I am just maintaining now. I am basically just going to introduce more carbs in my diet and I think that will do it.

last night BJJ 7:35-9:15

Drilled a bunch of takedowns.

Afterwards I submitted a blue belt for the first time with a RNC. Got submitted by a different guy by arm bar.

fufu · 05-31-2008, 04:06 PM

Today's workout -

warm up

chin up - RI 90 seconds
2x10
1x7

dissapointing chin up numbers. I can sustain ladders for 100 reps but I just burn out on these straight sets. My max rep set is 18 so I figured I could get 3x10. Oh well. Still better than what I used to be able to get on straight sets.
Last week I did 4 sets of 6 reps +20 lbs, I don't get it. Maybe I peaked out on the chin ups earlier. I think I'll move onto inverted rows.

reactive jumps off a bench - RI 60 seconds
3x5 at bodyweight

explosive push ups - RI 60 seconds
5x5 at bodyweight

corner barbell jam staggered stance OHP - RI 60 seconds
3x15 each side at 90 lbs

corner barbell jam front squat w/ weighted vest- RI 60 seconds
3x20 at 135 lbs +20 lb weighted vest

corner barbell jam torso rotations - RI 60 seconds
2x20 each side at 90 lbs

Tyler grip neutral grip thumbless gorilla hangs -
1x50 seconds at bodyweight

unilateral DB overhead elbow extensions -
1x40 each arm at 20 lbs

Awesome workout. Last set of squats was really tough. I haven't loudly verbalized my training in some time, but I couldn't help it on a few of the last reps. I moved through this workout pretty quickly. Torso rotations were also tough shit as well, especially after the squats.

At the beginning of the workout I wasn't feeling it, I actually felt like leaving and I very rarely feel like that. After the half way point I was feeling better. Alot of PR's today but I don't think it is worth labeling.

fufu · 06-02-2008, 05:05 PM

Today's workout -

warm up

did super sets today. 3 minutes rest between super sets after completing all three rounds. It wasn't all rest though because I had to set up the equipment for them.

super set #1 w/ 20 lb weighted vest- RI 60 seconds
4 upright tire jump sequence x5
overhead punching bag throw x5
x3

super set #2 (used 20 lb weighted vest on first set only) - RI 60 seconds
renegade row w/ x2 35 lbs DB's x10 each side
DB neutral grip push ups x10
x3

super set #3 - RI 60 seconds
DB swing w/ 50 lb DB x10
medicine ball smash x10
x3

band face pulls w/ 5 second isometric at full retraction - RI 60 seconds
2x10 w/ light jump stretch band

60 minutes static stretching

Good shit. On the overhead punching bag throw I would squat down and grab it, then extend up with hips/knees/ankles like a clean but I would hurl it overhead behind me.

Today I was working on high intensity movement, then rest. Normally in my circuits I just use a normal pace for the exercises, but today I was really trying to explode with my movement and do things very quickly. Definitely takes it out of you.

soxmuscle · 06-02-2008, 05:55 PM

Supersets are always fun.

Looks like BJJ is coming along nicely, glad to see/hear it.

God I wish I could organize my time better and just effing do it...

BJJ is indeed coming along well.

Where did you end up going to spend the summer?

I have my next BJJ tourney in Fall River, MA the end of this month.

soxmuscle · 06-02-2008, 06:18 PM

I'm in Chicago.

Nothing worked out work wise to stay at school for the summer or go to Boston and live at my Dad's. In the end, the right choice was made though.

I'm going to be heading to Boston some time this summer, could be by the end of this month, what weekend is your tournament?

The tournament is on the 28th of this month.

Chicago has a big martial arts scene, or so I hear. I'm sure there are plenty of good schools to train down there if you choose to.

There is no lack of schools, it's the lack of time and money that's killing me right now.

I can't find more than 5 hours to sleep right now, working 9-5 is just awful. The real world sucks

I understand. I would not be able to function off that little of sleep.

Are you still working that moving job?

Moving job was a two weekend thing, but I am still working for them. I just won't be working for them until the fall when kids start moving back to school.

I can't function. If you've seen my journal, I've been complaining about being too sore all the time, and nothing has changed as far as my training goes (I've actually lessened the volume since I've been back from school) except I'm obviously getting less sleep. It amazes me just how important sleep is and how you don't realize it until you stop getting the amount you need..

What I should do is at least do the BJJ once per week (on my scheduled mid-week cardio day), the problem with that is that it costs a certain amount regardless of how often you take advantage of it, similar to a normal gym. Doesn't seem worth it to me to start it when it's going to be costing me an arm and a leg and I'm not going to have time to go more than once per week; basically, it comes down to whether or not I want obligations on the weekends and to be quite honest, I don't.

What do you think of one day per week? It's really just a matter of time before I start it up, would it be smart to get some basic training once per week so in the future when I actually have the time to partake in 3+ training sessions per week I won't be a complete beginner?
