How do you like it? I'm really interested in doing some yoga. I would benefit tremendously from it

I actually downloaded rosses books in a torrent file. The books are VERY in depth and go into great detail. He covers all aspects of training, it's really a book for a full time athlete, not someone with a job or school etc. The guy trains basically 7 days a week, which was one thing I disliked. The exercise selection is bar none some of the best stuff I have seen for a fighter.

Haha.

Ladders: I do a pull-up, you do one. I do two, you match me, etc. until one of us cannot keep up. If you train alone, just estimate how long it would take your partner to go. Never train to failure, and always keep 1-2 reps in the bank to avoid overtraining. When you reach your limit (for me its 5, you can start over at 1 again as long as you feel fresh). You can do this over the course of the day, or over the course of a workout. You end up racking up large totals of pullups and it becomes easy to increase your total in a very short amount of time.

Specificity + Frequent Practice = Success

Whether you are consistent or not with this journal ... it's good to see you are consistent with your BJJ training. Looks like a great routine you have plus the momentum seems to be continuing. LOL ... fUnc17 I hated KB turk's at first. I thought I was in good shape till I added them in. I felt like hammered sh!t the next day ...

Workout B
Warm up
Core

Deadlift - 285/7x1

KB Military Press - 53/4x4 each arm

KB Snatches - 72/5x5 each arm

KB Turkish get ups - 72/1x3 each arm

Stretch

Pshhh. What a breeze of a workout. Woke up feeling great this morning after doing about an hour of yoga last night. Did another 45 minutes this morning upon waking. I know I've been doing it all of 2 days but I really feel a big difference. I have such a clear head and I slept like a baby

Anyway, back to the workout. Deadlifts were easy, yoga is opening my hips up and my hip drive is really starting to show. The militaries on my left side seem to bother me, gotta work on my left shoulder flexibility a little, I can generate much more muscle tension on my right side, I'd like to work up to the 72's in the near future. The snatches were an absolute BREEZE, I need to amp up the volume because 5x5 each side isn't cutting it anymore. And to finish I tortured myself with 3 turkish get ups each side with the 72lber. By the 3rd rep my grip was really testing me.

Speaking of grip, I've been training that on off days with the COC finger grippers, they work wonders. I have one in the car to play with when i sit in traffic. They are awesome for grapplers.

danny81 · 05-17-2007, 05:47 PM

sorry i missed the part about yoga. i do it 3-4x a week. i like it. it helps me get more flexibility which is something i lack in. what books did you end up getting? BTW i have rosses two new books the never gymless and the other one.

So I went to the city this morning.... took the 720AM ferry there and the 930AM back. Woke up from my nap and ran off the boat with my $400 textbooks in hand not realizing I got off the wrong dock like a schmuck. SOOOOOO long story short, I end up having to farmers walk my 60lb textbooks 5 miles up and down a major highway all the way to east bumble fuck where my car was parked in the swealtering heat. nice way to kick off my bday

And I get to take a 3 hour series 7 course from now on, tues and thurs in the city. YAYYYYYYYY

danny81 · 05-21-2007, 06:56 PM

happy birthday what BJJ gym do you go 2?

fUnc17 · 05-23-2007, 08:43 AM

Its not a BJJ gym. It's an aikido gym that is used for BJJ as well. It's called "Aikid", and its in sea girt.

I also have trained at Fatjo's in Morganville/Freehold. That place has it all, a ring, mats, bags, etc. But it was way too expensive, and they wanted the money up front. Something like 6 months up front, I think it was close to $700 and they wouldnt let me pay monthly.

I might check out Jershey shore BJJ, I have a couple friends that train there. 1 day Gi, 1 day No Gi, 1 day Striking.... and it fits perfectly into my schedule, and is cheaper than just Gi at my current place. Hm...

Added 20lbs to my squats instead of 10lbs accidently. For some reason i thought last week I was working with 245. Oh well, no big. Weight was easy.

Went with the 72lb KB for the swings this week and boy did I feel it. My ass was on fire after the second set. Breathing and rhythm was good, kept a good pace.

I feel like i'm just powering right through my squats no problem. I come out of the hole with such momentum, that the bar feels like nothing. Ripped a few callouses on my hand and called it a day. Great workout.

Couple more weeks of this and then I'll switch things up.

I was reunited with my original BJJ instructor today, which was a great feeling. 2 days BJJ, 1 gi, 1 no gi and 1 day striking/mma. ahhh, feels good to be back home.

Rest of the workout was great, pressed the 72lber twice with each arm, no prob, and this was after the other 3 sets of presses.

Added halos at the end to finish, and I will add KB arm bars to the end of my squat day.
