Bless CX808 for the gift of ass

She looks "easy to talk to"

Yes bench issues, but not nessacarily complaining. Just workign through what turned out to be a minor injury. Was making great progress, now intrested if I can progress or maintain on assistance and SOHP work only.
 
With one Deficit Dead session left in the month of July I have DLed 68845 lbs this month. Not including any SLDL for assistance.

As I was adding my DL totals for the month I realized I'm doing almost 2 3/4 ton during my warm up. I think that may be too much, but it feels good. not sure what a good warm up schedule for DL should be. Right now its

135 x 5 x 2
185 x 5 x 2
225 x 5 x 2

then on to my working sets.

On single days I triple the 225 instead of 5 reps. Advice anyone?
 
July 29th JJ

I wasn't sure what to expect tonight. But in the end life has a way of repaying debts owed, and tonight was one of those nights. I wanted to focus on getting top postion and maintaining it. I was able to do just that through out the night even with guys who normally out pace or out strength me from the get go. The couple times I was on my back I was able to stall compleley, hit a sub transistion or scramble back out. It was a good day.

I did get to spend some time with thier wrestling coach again and worked on some greco type tilts, which I am finding work well for me. So well I'm actaully tiltiing people completly off their feet when I actaully go hard on the attempt. I did feel bad for rape choking a guy while standing against the wall. It was very terminator of me.

The funny thing is last week I was getting stuck under sprawl and learned some new stuff to do, and haven't been there since.


July 30

Deadlift Deficit

135 x 5 x 2
185 x 5 x 2
225 x 3
255 x 3 x 3

Squat
135 x 5 x 5

Was suppose to be a 255 x 5 x 5 day, but after the 225 set I knew that my back was fried from the night before adn I cut it short. The squats were the first ones in 5 weeks and althought the first set was short on depth, I corrected that in the others. The weight was nominal but it felt good to have a bar on my back instead of at my feet. No tingles or pinches from the groin pull. Probably do another set at 185 next week to continue to fell out the recovery.

Also I ripped my shin during deadlifts and bleed down my leg into my sock before I knew it was bleeding. Which is both cool and a pain in the ass to clean up. I think I saw some treadmill bitches puke in their mouths.
 
July 30th

Boxing,

I managed to get a rare treat in, 7 or 8 rounds of boxing, with no kicks, no grappling and no take downs. I have lost a step or two, but it was fun. Cardio didn't suck as bad as I though it would but still no where near when I did it 5 nights a week
 
my last deadlift session (3x5 = 5 reps by 3 sets)
my warmup was:
135x2x5 2 sets 5 reps
185x5
225x2x5

worked great
 
i havent posted in the logs for a while as im sick, but keep up the work dude.

Thanks guys for checking in,

Took today off as the MMA gym was shut down as they are just a couple days out from fights. Was going to go do deads, I passed, thought about cleans at home, I passed.

Ate my ass off and it feels good. Hamstrings are a hair tight for unknown reason, tommorrow is either cleans and light squats or deads. Haven't been on a scale all week and am a week behind on my bodyfat %. Seems the better I feel the less I care about those numbers.

Thought about a 1rep for deads off the floor just to check were I am, but then realized until there are 4 plates on each end I could care less as long as its heavier than last time.

(I believe the number of rants in this log has dramictally decreased so we need to formulate a new lift, rant, ass schedule)
 
Hey missourah,

How are you tracking your body fat percentage/figuring out your diet for losing body fat? I have decided that the extra pudge has to go.
 
The body fat I use both an electric testing machine(impendence) and a 5 point pinch test. I always test in the mourning before I lift near the end of the month. The same guy always does the pinch test so it fairly consistent.

The diet I don't concentrate on much. Since I have no competive goals at the present my wieght isn't an issue to me. I would like to stay around cruiser weight for boxing cause I never know what may pop up. I think my frame also hold 210ish well. My long term goal is 10% bodyfat.

As far as changes to my diet over the past several months, I've dropped non-diet soda dn cut diet down to next to nothing, I'm drinking more water lots more. Alchol also got cut way back. I'm working on dropping potatoes right now and I've cut my grain consumpstion down. I've started eating something green with each meal(tongiht brocoli and lettuce) I'd have to look at my log at home but we're talking a 5 or 6% drop in BF in the last 7 months with no drop in weight.(in pays to be big in my job and when I teach JJ)

Does that help
 
Yeah that gives me something to work with, definitely. In my quest to become hyooge I have started on a wee buddha belly.
 
One of the odd things was I stopped thinking of corn as a vegtable. I eat alot of it here in Missouri. I changed some of my fruit choices as well.

I spent many years of my life trying to be 174lb so 210 to me is massive. But I've been as high as 240 at 30%bf. So 210 also is also small. I've have clothes in my closet aht are both too small and too big.

THese food choices I'm making aren't really a diet at all just simple changes I've made, if I could give up burger king I would be set.

I also make sure to get 200grams of protein without any whey supplements a day. Cottage Cheese before bed. I also need to cut the caffeine(another change for down the road)

Maybe I just need to log my eats for awhile so you can follow. I might do that if you think it would help.
 
I do on occasion on my log at home. I just haven't here since weight hasn't been my issue. It may play into recovery more than I want to admit but sleep depravation is the main cause of my weak recovery.

I keep another log that is much more specific about JJ at home. But it includes info that isn't for here.
 
Why are all your DLs deficit pulls?

And why such a large defecit? 4" is a lot.

Everything is deficit for the month of July only. I was really fighting breaking the weight off the ground in the worst way. So I started doing the deficits to improve that. I could grab 315 off a rack for shrugs and not even know its there but 315 off the ground may or may not break.

The 4" defecit is the first platform I found and since flexiblity wasn't an issue I started using it. I considered going to 1 or 2 inches of stacked plates(later) but didn't. Maybe not the best plan but I do feel better(at the end of the month) off the ground even with the 4" deficit.

I also have changed my starting postion by working from a higher hip positon and with the bar closer to my shin during this month. My deadlift is a work in progress I guess, frustrating cause its out of balance with my squat work.
 
Sounds strange to me to work on your starting position while you're 4" higher than normal. It should be interesting to see what affect that has when pulling from the floor again.
 
I can't disagree with that. I played with the new starting postion from the ground a little and it feels ok.

I realized while doing the deficits that the bar was way forward and it was due to starting postion. It doesn't really show itself until the 275 mark though. It pulls me forward and kills my pull. It really showed itself even more doing deficits. If it doesn't work I'll play with it some more. I have a lifting coach lined up if I can't get it straight myself. The few people I know that dead for real say I'm not that far off form wise. Just need to get tighter with it. I tend to wet noodle my upper body some.

Thanks for stopping by my log
 
It's a little late to say this, now that July is over, but I wouldn't cut out normal DLs completely while doing deficit pulls. I'd probably start with deficit pulls and then switch to conventional in one session. Or even alternate them each workout.
 
Your probably right.

ALso throwing some powercleans/hangcleans at the problem this month along with some back work.
