Shadow's Snap back to reality.....

[BiggT]

Do you plan to add cals with the BJJ? How many times/week will it be?

Who is the biggest(weight wise) actor these days??

Vin Diesel??

He was even 20 pound heavier in 2002-03.

Stage and film directors want actors who represent the average person. I get type cast whenever I am over 200 pounds...I have been a cop in 2 stage productions and two movies.

Hence the "weight limit"



BJJ is 2x per week......60 minutes at a time......the freaking warmp ups KILLED me.....you do mat crawls....using only your forearms - you have to drag yourself across a think rubber matted floor.

2 problems:

1 - your clothes stick
2 - your forearms are sweaty - so you slide....

2 cycles - 10 meters each way - and of course - I trained back yesterday.....

My upper abs are KILLING me.

The guy who owns the gym is a professional and knows his stuff....there is a guy training there for the UFC...HUGE.


I'm also doing intro to wrestling for the take downs 2x week as well for an hour at a time.



I was so spent last night that I didnt eat anything after training but chicken and grilled vegetables....



So - calorie wise - Im not sure - I'm keeping a watch on my weight.

Dropping back on the weight exercises and focusing on the core lifts will help on the cals expended as well

UHmmm did somone say Vin Diesel....


Ohhh yeah .... I'll get to the point of your log and won't fill it with pointless monolague.

Nice job on the new training! Sounds hardcore... Maybe you need forearm pads so you don't get forearm burn...

LOL..I was referring to it being a monologue as I was the only person posting for the most part.


Yeah well.....maybe on the pads

Biggest “actor” . .. probably The Rock.

Well, since you’re not really trying to pack on the size right now, a strength training phase would be perfect. There’s no point in doing pumping volume stuff right now.

 

[BiggT]

I was doing a LOT of stage productions(and some magazine work) and deads would put me over the "weight Limit"

Dude, you know as well as I that deadlifts don't contribute to mass gain, if you want to get big, you need to hit the low hammer row for 4x10 suppersetted with the seated cable row with neutral grip bar for 4x8, geez, don't you read any of cardiomann's posts????

 

[Protobuilder]

I learned a lot from cardiomann. His time on EF was shortlived but his legacy and training philosophy endures. I’ve dropped squats & deadlifts b/c “nobody” has built mass with those worthless exercises.

Shadow: if you want to get strong for JJ, you need to focus on cable crossovers. Think about it, what movement most resembles a left/right hook? That’s right. The crossover.

 

[The Shadow]

Speaking of crossover.....


LOL
