Wensday was an off day.... Thursday April 22, 2004 Today was mixed martial arts training. We went for 2 hours mostly doing live wrestling the entire time. One of the guys is fighting on Saturday so he stayed on the mat and everyone else rotated in. It was a great workout. Im sore, tired...

Thanks LAM. Im really not interested in size at all, just strength. Ill have to look into trying the split you describe and maybe try it. I was just worried about not having a break between MMA training sessions.

Ok, then what about eliminating legs altogether since they get worked very hard during martial arts training?

Hi guys. Ive been back to lifting heavy for about 2 months now and have made some very good, steady gains. My main goal is strength gain because i am a police officer and i feel it is important for my safety at work. Last week i began training in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). An officer i work...

Tuesday April 20, 2004 Today was Mixed Martial Arts training. Man, what a hard workout, probably one of the best ive had in years. You could wring my shirt out after we were done. We did footwork and combo drills and then fighting from the clinch and then 45min of wrestling. Ove of the guys...

Hi Jen! Lifts look great! Hey, i thought you said you like all the comments the old guys give you? Getting wierded out are we? :) Glad you had a good day, just make sure you wear a helmet next time..... :)

Hi Mike, those are some insane lifts. Why all the turkey and cheese sandwiches? :) So, now that you have been doing S1+ do you think its worth it?

Hi Var. I had to go through therapy too, sucked didnt it? When the scar tissue was popping in my elbow i wanted to puke :). Id say i got back about 95%. If i straighten my arm out all the way it tends to hurt. I did it about 4 years ago. Im a police officer and i was in a footchase with...

Hi Prince. Actually, no, my goal is not bodybuilding. Im a police officer so my goal is strength gain, conditioning and nothing else. I can care less how big my chest is...just as long as its strong. Thats why i care :)

Hi Monstar. I saw that you do upright rows with a shoulder wide grip, does that hit different muscles then the close grip version? Good workout! Doing pushdowns with 160lbs is insane :)

I grew up on the south side, right off of the Skyway on the Eastside. My parents still live there. I work in Elgin.....

Hi Cate :) Thanks for the welcome. I see your getting married soon, congrats. You actually in the city or in the burbs?

Well, today was suppose to be my back and biceps day but my schedual got messed up because i had to move chest to tuesday. Since thursday is usually my cardio day i skipped my back/bi day in order to get back on track. Make sense? :) Anyways, today ihad my first martial arts training session...

So, if i did 255 two times on the smith i should be able to do 225 once on free weights right? :)

Thanks ALBOB :). Im going to add them next week...

Hi jen and Monstar :) Im hoping this board is better then DF. I enjoy DF but i just dont seem to get much feedback since you guys left. No one else there seemed to care about my progress. Im hoping to get more feedback here. Since im realitively new to this i know i sure can use it.....

Sorry, kind of new to this stuff. I didnt think flys were a good exercise for building strength, thought it was mainly used to build up the inside of the chest. Ill have to give them a try. Much appreciated :)

Hi Prince, thanks for the reply. I really dont do flyes, thought they were just a shaping movement and i was going for strength. Do you recomend i give them a try?
