Oblivian's Adaptations

[Oblivian]

Can I just ask what the "All Round Fighting" Round entails???

I was watching Pride the other day and remember when everything was answered by the Bas Rutten big book of combat, I almost bought it at one point!!

Basically, he calls out combos that you throw similar to the thai boxing cd, but he also calls out A LOT of sprawls. In addition to that, he has you stay down for about 15 seconds where you do this other drill that I can't really describe - it's what's shown in this video from 19 seconds to 25 seconds (YouTube - Sakuraba work out). Besides that, he calls out pushups for about 5-10 seconds on the 3 minute rounds. It's basically a shitload of sprawls.

Alright, 1 week to go! Great work on this whole project.

Thanks X. This whole cut has been pretty interesting. I'm a bit disappointed in my strength drops. I thought I'd be able to maintain strength, but I guess that was overreaching. I never thought my conditioning would be where it is right now though. I don't know if I'll ever top the 50 burpee time and my 5k time. I'm doing the 100 burpee challenge on Monday, so we'll see how that ends up.


Yesterday was a day off. I was going to do a timed mile but it started raining. My body felt a little beat up so rest was in order.

 

[Oblivian]

Warmup
Jump Rope: 10 minutes
Power Cleans: 135 lbs x 3, 155 lbs x 2, 175 lbs x 1

Deadlift
225 lbs x 5 (DOH Warmup)
295 lbs x 3 (DOH Warmup)
345 lbs x 1 (DOH Warmup)
415 lbs x 1 x 8 sets
*Everything went up smooth.

SOHP
95 lbs x 5 (warmup)
135 lbs x 3
155 lbs x 2
180 lbs x fail x twice
160 lbs x 3
*180 just wasn't happening today. That means the only true working set was really the 160 lbs x 3. 135 lbs x 3 is very easy and 155 lbs x 2 is easy. Oh well, I felt pretty wore out by this time anyways.

The Pit Workout - Lower Body
50-55 minutes
*This is the first time I did all of the BW squats in a row without a break. I think it's 150-200 in a row. Since the speed is fast at some points, I'm fairly sure depth was questionable on about 25% of them.

Aren't you tempted to just get the cut over with? I know I'd be, anyway.

Well I want to do it on a day off from work. I just have 5 more days - no worries.

Midmo is that a snatch I see?

This.

Unlucky on the over head squat Oblivian. That would be an impressive lift there!

 

[Oblivian]

Yesterday was an unplanned day off. I went to my nephew's first baseball/tee ball game and it lasted much longer than expected. I was sore anyways, so I decided to rest and hit the sack early. Bodyweight is 162.6 lbs right now.

 

[Oblivian]

BW = 161.8 lbs

Warmup
Jump Rope: 10 minutes

Push Press
95 lbs x 5 (warmup)
135 lbs x 5
145 lbs x 5
160 lbs x 10
*Easy still. Will keep bumping up 5 lbs.

Bent Over Row
135 lbs x 5
185 lbs x 5 x 5 sets
*I'm still debating different programming methods in my head for this lift. I may go with more volume and lighter weight.

Thickbar Chins
BW x 12
+35 lbs x 3
+40 lbs x 3
+45 lbs x 3
BW x 15

Timed Mile Run
Warmup Jog = .5 miles
Timed Mile = 6:15 (PR)
Cooldown Jog = 1 mile
*I'm really not that pleased with the mile time. My 5k time was at a pace not much slower than that. I've noticed in other conditioning challenges that I'm really not that fast, but I can maintain my fast pace for a long time. I never really do sprints and most of my timed runs are 1.75 miles or more, so it makes sense.

Core Circuit (V-ups to Toe Touches to Sprinters to Hip Thrusters)
3 sets of 10

Static Stretch (Lower Body Only)
15 minutes

Since you used to do coke, do you still have any after effects from it? What other drugs have you done?

 

[MIDMOBOX]

I assumed it was flesh colored underwear or I won't have posted it.

In case you've missed it, loss of weight. You should try it! :icon_lol:

Where is this snatch/flesh underwear?? Why don't people specify pages anymore!!!!

 

[MIDMOBOX]

I believe it is the image that shows as having violated photobuckets policies. It was basically two hot chicks making out with one slighty raising the others skirt. I actaully did assume that it was a skin toned underwear as it was sourced from a non-porn site.

Weird - a 19:05 5K is 6:09-6:10 for 3.1 miles, I think. Great job in here, nonetheless!
