My ADD Training Log 2015

Gym was super crowded tonight. And my knee was hurting, so I cut the deadlifts a little short & no squats.

Same here. Gym was really busy, all machines being used, no space to lift. Must be an international phenomenon, thought it was getting a bit late in the month for the resolutionists.

THROWING

Stones - 16#
5x Standing Throws
5x Spins
3x Glide

LWFD - 28#
~10x Full throws

Light Hammer - 16#
6x Throws - no blades...

Got out for some throwing today, everything felt decent. The spin technique for stones was messy, so I tried a basic glide & it felt a lot better. I'm thinking I may switch to glide if I can get a bump with that over standing. LWFD was ok, couple of throws in the mid-50's, which isn't terrible. Hammer was terrible, as usual, I need to go buy some boots, since my blades pulled through the bottom.

[MIDMOBOX]

Yesterday you did pull ups on the rock wall and today you're doing gripper work?

Have you tried any bending

Nope, never tried it. The rock grip pullups aren't really even hard on my hands - it's the pullups that are getting me.

My grip is pretty good - I've closed a CoC 2.5 before...would be sweet to close a #3 though. When grappling in the gi my grips are one of my best weapons. My 2nd best weapon is I'm great at tapping.

Was going to do Press after bench but all the squat racks were full. So I was going to do DB Rows, but all the flat benches were in use (including the one I just vacated). So I thought I'd do some curls, but there were people everywhere doing curls & crowded around the curl BB rack. It pretty much sucked & made me wish I still had a home gym. Anyway I left & decided I'm taking the fam out for some excellent sushi tonight.

BJJ - 1 Hour

Solid work today. Conditioning isn't up to par for grappling, so today was really good LOL. Worked specific training on open guard, 5 min bottom, 5 min top, 2x each. I worked with another purple belt who's close to 400 pounds. It was tough but a great opportunity for me to work on guard recovery and not getting smashed. Then I had 4x 5 min sparring sessions, two of those were with the same big purple belt Good times, learned some stuff.

 

[MIDMOBOX]

400 pound purple belts don't sound like fun to me. I've played with 330+ pound black belts and that was enough suck to last a lifetime.


Good call on the sushi.

BJJ - 1.5 Hours

Worked open guard specific training this morning, just like last time. Then straight to sparring. Rolled 6 rounds, 5 or 6 minutes each with 60 seconds rest. I was pretty tired, but got in some good, tough training today.

GRIPPERS

LH: 12x5x CoC #1
RH: 12x5x CoC #1.5

Did a total of 60 reps both hands (sets of 5) this afternoon on the grippers. Tough after all the open guard earlier today. Might try to get another 40 in before bed so I have 100 for the day

EDIT: Finished the gripper work!

LH: 8x5x CoC #1
RH: 8x8x CoC #1.5

Hands are pretty shot. Driving to San diego tomorrow, going to try got another 100 in the car tomorrow.

Last I recall, you sold your home gym setup and have been training in a gym. How is it treating you?

Better equipment is nice, but having to wait on it sucks. Would love to re-do the home gym, but that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

 

[calvus]

So I jumped into the gripper thing too quickly & gave myself a nice big blister on the inside of one of my fingers. I think I need to tape the handle of the CoC 1.5 if I'm going to be doing 100 reps with it.

Also, ended up working until about 7:00 yesterday & then had to pack for a short trip to Santa Barbara, so didn't make it to the gym yesterday. Will hopefully be able to get in on Friday when I get back.

 

[MIDMOBOX]

You should fight some chinchillas while your there. I'd watch that. But not like regular chinchillas but like real big mutant ones

 

[calvus]

Got a new tattoo in Santa Barbara, so not much going on while this thing heals. Was planning on a deload next week before the Queen Mary Highland Games anyway.

 

[MIDMOBOX]

If I ever get a tattoo on my upper arms it will just be shading to better highlight my bicep tie in and all the already visible heads of my tricep

 

[calvus]

that would be cool. I need to do moar curlz.

THROWING

Got out to OC Highlander's practice today, threw O-Stone & B-stone, light & heavy hammer, light & heavy WFD & a little WOB. Everything felt decent, elbow didn't bother me.

Got some larger washers & fixed my blades, we'll see how long they last. I need to get to Lowe's & buy a new glove before next weekend (wish they sold separates lol).
