Prince of Pull

Moral of the story, don't attempt to teach grappling when you practice a stand-up art.

Good story, I'm anxious to practice some BJJ again now that my strength is much better. Used to be a pain in the ass tossing people around,now it shouldn't be so bad since the bodyweight of most will be very sub-maximal...

Exactly.

Bench Press

265x10x3

Felt easier than last week almost, I think I even used less rest, Finished all ten sets in about 13 minutes.

DB Chest Press
75x10
75x9
60x9

Left shoulder has been bothering me, I think it is time to start doing shoulder drills before the gym.

At what % of your 1RM did you use when you started the 10x3?

 

[miked8c]

My max was about 315 on the nose when I started this program.

I did 250 for my first week of this. So whatever percent 250 is of 315.

bro, DO THE SHOULDER DRILLS!!!! i'm obviously not nearly as strong as you are, but if i could go back in time 8 months, i'd be doing preworkout shoulder stretching every workout.

 

[lweaver]

Cool I'll start at 245 just to be safe then.

Shoulder still hurts? Make any modifications yet?

 

[miked8c]

It actually felt a lot better today.

School starts in a couple of weeks. I am done dead lifting until school, and will be squatting twice a week instead.

Squat

135x3
185x3
225x3
275x3
315x3
365x3
410x5
405x2
315x8

A little more back than I would have liked on 410, this was morning workout so I did not have as much food in me as I would have liked. Nevertheless, awesome.



Didn't even do assistance, the squats were already putting to the point of puke. I hung from the chin up bar and did some pull ups. For the decompression, that is about it.
