Floor Press: 3RM
95,135,165,185,205,225,245,265,285x3
All the music got deleted before I went in to lift today, that meant no Ipod. I felt so crappy warming up on the Floor Press( I have not lifted without music for a year) I had no intention of putting up 285 for 3. However I got down and laid on the deck for about a minute under the bar just psyching myself up. Grunted like bear, exhaled spit so hard I hit my spotter's face who was standing while I was lying down. And forced up the reps. Purely willpower on this. My projected max on the floor press is 315!

Deadlift
465x1
Weight felt exactly the same as it did last weak. Heavy.
Went in with a bad mood due to prior events, definitely messed with my focus. I didn't want to try 2 reps with this so I bailed.
I think my max is 475 on the dead lift, I need something to bust through plateau, as of right now I think I am going to take next week off from deadlift and see if hopefully I'll be stronger when I come back.

435 is my old PR.
I guess in hindsight asking to add 15-10 lbs. each week to the bar is a little ballsy for a veteran lifter. Its not like I was untrained coming into this program. I think I might try to go for 475 next week for a couple of singles. We will see.
Going to Canada on this Friday and spending two nights there, I will try not to drink too much and instead substitute alcohol with marijuana. This trip is with 3 of my best friends and I will not pass it up even though I know it will probably mess with my gains, this is something I need to do haha.

You'd be better off not getting into fights in the first place, but sometimes that's easier said than done.
I remember getting in a fight with a guy twice my size back in junior high and while I got the better of him I suffered a boxers fracture on my right hand.
With your strength and decent size you would be better off learning some wrestling and jui jitsu imho. I haven't been in a fight in 13 years lol. One thing I learned after breaking my hand on a guys face is that many of us don't have punchers hands. By that I mean thick wrists and flat across knuckles.
You're better off punching to the body(trust me a strong guy sluggin you in the ribs hurts) and elbowing to the face. Some guys naturally know how to use the hips and the great thing about elbows is that you actually apply more force to a smaller area if you hit close to the point of the elbow and not the forearm. I've watched pretty much every ufc there is and it blows me away how most of these fighters don't know how to throw a solid elbow. If you can whip your body in a small motion starting from the hips you can apply this in any position whether on your back or especially mounted on someone.
Anyhow, like I said it's been about 13 years since I was in a fight, but if I were to get into one tomorrow I would slam the guy to the ground and either rear naked choke or elbow his face into hamburger.
Food for thought.
