TSP - Bench - Final Day: I'm Knackered

I did Krav Maga this morning and I've just finished working out, and I'm done for the day.

I upped the weights on BB exercises.

I'm going to take a couple of days off and test for a Bench PR.

I've decided to bring this routine to an end. My next routine will be another of Chad's routines called the Big Boy Basics. You can guess what the meat of it is.


BB Bench Supramax/BB Bench Partial/Chest-supported Row
240 @ 8 seconds/3 @ 190/3 @ 65
240 @ 8 seconds/3 @ 190/3 @ 65

245 @ 8 seconds/3 @ 195/3 @ 65
250 @ 8 seconds/3 @ 200/3 @ 65

DB Decline/Upright Power Row/EZ Bar Reverse Curl

Krav Maga

I'm day two into my Krav Maga training.

So far, we've covered the jab and cross punches, front and rear kicks, front and rear knees strikes (while pulling the opponent towards you), and how to get out of front and rear (not naked) chokes.

We've also touched a bit on retzev. Which means "continuous motion". It means that once you start attacking, you don't stop until your done (one aspect of this is that you only advance). It also means that every defensive action should be accompanied by an offensive action.

Such as when you're removing a rear choke, you'll hook the opponent's hands (by the wrist/back portion of the hand) and yank down and then finished by striking the opponents groin with the back of your fist.

I also learned that when you're holding a tombstone (a hand-held pad) and your partner strikes over the groin (and not the solar plexus like he was supposed to), it still hurts.

Thanks, man!

Krav Maga is really different from most other martial arts.

I'm hoping that my bench improves enough to make it worth it, too. Considering how easy I handled 200, and how easy it was to unrack 250, I'm betting my PR is no longer 205.

DOMS

I used to do Muay Thai, too! About 15 years ago.

Some of the difference between that (and most other martial arts) and Krav is that Krav teaches you to go for the soft tissue (eyes, throat, groin, etc.). Plus, Krav covers stuff like dealing with weapons and multiple opponents.

There aren't any fighting rules in Krav, so they don't, can't really, have tournaments.

And testing is a bit different, too. For example, my instructor went to LA for an update to his teaching. Part of that was the requirement that he give the instructors his itinerary (where he's going to be) so that they could jump him without notice. He left his hotel room one night to get ice and three Krav instructors jumped him.

On of the tests that my instructor gives is to make you run, and exercise, for a long time. Then, after you're thoroughly exhausted, he makes you fight.

Another difference is that you're taught situation awareness. The first goal of fighting Krav-style is try not to get in a position where you have to fight.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I placed my first option trade today.

It's been a week for important firsts for me.

Thanks, Gaz!

Krav Maga kicks ass...literally. It's a martial art for the streets.

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.

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

DOMS

I'm 5'10" at ~220 or so. I have no idea what my BF% is.

DOMS

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.
