Nate G's quit being a slacker log

[Nate Gelinas]

So I was just browsing sherdog, and this is the first time I stopped by the log section. I read a few, and am now motivated enough to start my own. I really dont care if ANYONE reads this, but just knowing that there will be people on here who could see my failure to follow my program will motivate me. This log will only be for ther next 3 months, because after that I go to argentina for 3 weeks, directly after I will be going to Tiger Muay Thai for 2 months. Will prob re-start the log when I return.

About me

Height-5'7
Weight-153 walking weight
Fighting weight-145 (need to be ready to fight at 135 within a month)
Max bench-225 lbs
Max squat-325

Outside of those two lifts, I never really kept track of anything else. Was never SERIOUSLY into lifting, just did it several times a week to get a decent strength base.

So, starting this monday, I will begin my log. I am fighting this saturday (tommorrow night) for a 145 title shot, so I wont be able to do much this weekend. But after that, oh its on.

So here is what I want my schedule to look like. (needs tweaking, ADVICE IS EXTREMELY APPRECIATED)

Best of luck with your fight, mate.

Drop the Tricep pulldowns and add dips
3xto failure
if you get over 15, put on a backpack and throw some weight in it and do weighted dips.


You will probably need to do some squatting for lower reps to build strength. As in more that 100 lbs squats.

You also need to add deadlifts to one of your days.

Thanks for the advice. I normally do dips as well as an afterthought, stick a 45 plate on and knock out about 20 per set. I will def be including squats in my leg workout on saturdays, along with a few other leg lifts. Dead lifts I def should include, but when I first started lifted, I never did them, and as such, have never done them! But I will need to incorporate them, not doing so is a bad habit.

Ok well I won my fight last night. So it motivates me more to start training hard. My next fight is against a 12-0 guy who has 12 straight submissions, and this will be his last ammy fight before going pro. I have three weeks to beef up my cardio. I start tommorrow.
