Power Physique

6 weeks out he said. 1 week and a half later:

Squats
3 x 10 x 135lbs

DL Sumo
3 x 10 x 176lbs

Bench
3 x 10 x 135lbs

DB Curls
3 x 15 x 15lbs

DB OH Tri
3 x 15 x 15lbs


My heart rate was pretty high. I didn't go hard or heavy or anything, I was too afraid to blow up my nose. My nose is still mostly blocked on one side due to swelling but it doesn't hurt. I have my post-op check-up on Dec 5 so I'll try to keep it easy until then.

I should work on my form and flexibility...
 
Oh yeahh, I think I'm Back already !

Squats
5x5 x 225lbs

Bench
5x5 x 185lbs

Tris Rope pressdown
5x10 x 30lbs

Chest flys machine
3x10 x 55lbs
2x10 x 70lbs

Thought I could bench more than that but I guess not.
Squat felt really good, I probably could do more but I don't want to push my luck right now.
 
DL Sumo
1x5 x 308#

Squats
5x5 x 235#

Reverse DB Flys
5x10 x 17.5#

EZ Curls
4x10 x 15# on each side

Still sore from Monday. Squats felt really heavy at first but it was overall a good session.
 
Bad workout

Squats
3x 225
2x 235
3x 225

I was done. Hurt my back on the way up from the warm up and felt like shit.

DL Sumo
3x10 x 200

Bench
3x10 x 135

Facepull
3x10 x 30

DB Shrugs
3x10 x 50

Rope tris
5x10 x 30

Cable flys High
5x10 x 40

Hammer curls

Felt good when entering the gym but then I was hurting the whole time. Wondering if 5x5 3 times a week is too much
right now ??

EDIT: 30 seconds on google gave me this: "Smaller guys weighing around 180lb will usually have to switch to Madcow 5x5 by the time they Squat around 300lb." From stronglifts.com. I am 180 lbs, and my PR squat is 300. I think I got my answer hahah.

Nice work! Any MMA training lately? How did you pick up your wins, btw?
 
Thanks man. My 3 mma wins were by TKO (Ground and pound). My 2 boxing wins were by decision.

I didn't train mma in a couple months and I don't miss it that much right now. It's so much commitment to train 4 disciplines on top of the cardio.

Also I had to keep my weight around 165-170 which I didn't feel natural. I started fighting to learn self-defense and I feel pretty confident for that now.

I hear you. I started training back in 2001. I trained 4+ times per week for about 4 years before gradually tapering off. Never did any fights, but had a lot of brawls in the gym.

Nowadays I roll into jiu-jitsu class a couple of times a month - if that - show some new kids a trick or two, and that's a good enough fix for me.

Do you think you are done, or you plan on heading back?
 
I doubt I'm 100% done with it. I'm torn because I just got my nose surgery and the doctor said he wouldn't fix it twice. Basically if I break it again I gotta live with it. Sleep apnea was my problem.

I definitely will have my gym one day and it will have fighting involved for sure. I'd like to be S&C coach for fighters actually I always felt there is so much misconceptions in there about what work and what doesn't.

You should get at least one fight. Don't you feel you'll regret it? It's really mot as bad as it seems.
 
Well, I'm 32 and I have a kid on the way. Plus, I weigh about 195, and my competition weight is 160. So, I don't think it is in my immediate future. Never know, though. I might be one of those guys who makes a midlife crisis debut at like 46.

The only thing that would be different from some of the sparring I've done would be the lead up to the fight: medical stuff, getting a corner, making weight, pre-fight nerves, etc. I don't feel much of a need to experience that stuff. I've already done the actually fighting part.

I probably would have done some fights back in the early 00's when I was training a lot, but there wasn't much amateur MMA back then. I trained with a few "pros" - fighting for $250 - and I had a couple of chances to fight that way, but I was discouraged by all the hoops you had to jump through: physical, blood work, CAT scan, etc. I had no insurance at the time and it would have ended up costing me a bunch of money to fight.

York 7' Olympic Bar
305# of weights (Competition bumpers)
Total: 350#

I just bought the mats to go under as well. I do not have a bench or squat racks yet. I am debating making a squat rack in the weld shop or buying one. I will probably buy a bench off Kijiji or brand new.

I don't have a program but I'll focus on Deadlifts, Powercleans and OH Press/Push press right now. I like chin-ups and maybe some Overhead or front squats as well.

First time conv deadlift in a while, makes me remember while I lift Sumo. Wondering if the different muscles involved are my weakness and if I should do more of them. I probably need to create a program as well. Got a couple ideas in my head. I want to train lots so I'll probably just train everyday and figure something out as I go.
 
Sumo Deadlift - 2 1/2" Blocks
3 x 10 x 240#

OH Press
