Yea it has its selling points. The judo guys love it cause they get to actually work their newaza and still get credit for the big throws.
 
realistically i think judo is one of the best forms of self defense. no time spent lingering on the ground, just a toss on the head until you can find a suitable weapon nearby to finish them off with
 
I have rarely had a fight that lasted more than the throw, when I actually did them semi-properly. So I agree.

Still waiting for my head cold to subside and the gym to reopen. I even skipped JJ on Sat to avoid contamiting people.
 
o soto gari is one of the most popular and easiest throws to do in street clothing, or no clothing. same with hane/tsuri/harai goshi and variations of ashi guruma
 
o soto gari scares me. Some little kid did one to me when I started Judo ;(

Osoto Gari is def my go to. I tend to use the off hand as a forearm shot across the chest with it. I figure at 230+lbs in gear if they don't move with that I need to rethink my options.

A slightly modified Osoto Makikomi(Major Outer Wrap Around) is my second choice. I will arm drag then step behind. Lock up the grip like a suplex then finish the trip and roll. Or if I actaully wanted to suplex. If I rethink the throw I can go to the RNC or rear arm triangle. Then sit them down to their knees and onto their bellies for the cuffing and such.

Gym reopens tommorrow. I'm excited.
 
and Newt I saw the video and appreciated his distraction just prior to the throw more than the throw itself
 
I tried to do my diet for today, but so much of it wasn't listed on fitday that I'm not sure how accurate it is. They did not have whole wheat tortillas or natural peanut butter, I made substitutions but I'm not sure about how close they were as I didn't read the panels on those foods, although I know that my peanut butter is closer to 10grams of protein per tablespoon than 4 grams. So this one aint accurate at all but should be close. I've been way light the last 3 days cause I just haven't wanted to eat. Hopefully deads tommorrow will kick start the appetiate again

Thanks - I'm not familiar with that one, but will look it up - sound like a good option.

I gave up on trying to gain much more mass - eating enough "healthy" food was just too expensive and time consuming. Are you trying to eat small meals every 2-3 hours? If not, that may help. I have found decent results just focusing on getting fast digesting protein (whey shots) and fast carbs post-WO. We are around the same size and I aim for about 40g of protein and 80g of fast carbs post-WO.
 
I've never actaully tried to get bigger so I'm not sure whats going to work for me yet. When I was boxing it was about being lighter and then I got fat and starting shrinking.

The food log right now is giving me an idea of how much I'm eating I haven't gone into bulk mode yet since I want a pinch test first. Right now Its about 4 actaul meals and then grazing all night on what I bring to work. Fast food is limited to about once a week or less. I dont' use alot of whey(once a day sometimes twice if work out and meal time are seperated by more than an hour). The cost of food I eat doesn't bother me since I buy half and quatered beef and hogs instead of from the store. I also grow most of the fruit I'm eating right now. Living rural has its advantages.

Sept 8th
Powerclean
135 x 3 x 3

Deadlift
225 x 3

Being back in the real gym felt good, I had told myself I was going to hit 365 today. The cleans were sloppy as I'm still feeling them out on a full bar. The weight isn't the issue as I'm throwing it through the ceiling, just the catch. Probably going to have to break down and fix that if I want to get heavier.

The deads were all I wanted to get done today. The 365 was the slowest sloppiest lift of my life, It broke clean and then pulled me onto my toes I SLDL to my knees then fought to get back on my heels. Once I got to my heels it flew to lock out. I think a better form day would net me 20 more lbs easy, maybe more. However I got my 3 1/2 plates which has been a mental block for me as I got closer to it. During the lift I actually remember reminding myself that this was it and I would get it come hell or high water. Now I can firmly focus on 405 and progress to it.

The battle plan as of now is to continue with the heavy singles but this was my last day considering 315 a heavy single, it is now a warm up single and will not count to my 5-8 that I want each session. The deficts will continue on singles day. When I have the juice I will fit some rack pulls on that day as well. I'm moving SLDL to squat day as I'm not doing assistance for squat other than OHS as a warm up.

I will also be moving DB PC/Press to my DL day. I caught myself seting up for a clean when I should have been deadlifting. I think this is what happened on the 365. I was way over the bar and had to fight to bring it back. If I do DB PC the set up is so differnt I hope it helps cure the problem. BB PC will move to a warm up for squats.

THis was also my first day using chalk. Didn't notice a great dif but my grip isn't what i call strong, will need to address that more once again, I've been slacking

New Big 3 total 935.

natural peanut butter does not have 10 grams of protein / tablespoon. I've used at least 5 different brands and none of them have over 4 grams.
 
Maybe I figured it previously for 2 tablespoons, I'm not sure, that day was a waste food wise anyway.

Thanks I was going to look and forgot today. I'll go with the fitday for it then
 
Figured with the time off I should push on. I actually believe that somewhere in me right now is an easy 405. The stars will need to align just right but its there. I think I will keep taking small bites though. Next week I'm looking at keeping my singles in the 330-345 range. Prop will not go higher than 365 for another week. Trying to stick to the plan and pace myself towards 405/365/275 by January.
