Incline barbell-5X4-10 I got 405 four times tonight.woohoo




As a matter of fact, unless it was only inclined about 10 degrees, I'm going to go ahead and call B.S.
 
8) It was a regular incline.I can't prove it unless you come to Georgia,but feel free to.

I'd been stuck at 385 for months.I did this after being 'on cycle' for 3 weeks. I doubt i'll be able to do it consistantly or at all once I come off. I don't really know that i'd want to. Even with 385 my joints and tendons in my elbow,shoulders and wrist are severly traumatized for the next few days.It's almost debilitating.

Hell, while were discussing it,let me put some freaky numbers out there that you'll most likely also believe to be BS. I behind the neck shoulder press with 275 4-6 times.I'm doing leg presses with 1200 pounds 8 times.Lockouts with 455 6 times.Tricep extentions with a 130 pound dumbell.Lateral raises with 60 pound dumbells.

You wouldn't call BS in person.

Shit, that's pretty impressive. Props...
 
I have a couple of friends who train MMA so I was wondering if mat work was basically the same thing (grappling, striking, shooting, etc...). I've heard nothing but good things about the training regimen (except for a buddy who likes to desensitize the nerves in his shins with a baseball bat). I hear boxing training is another excellent choice for cardio. I still need to start running.

Do you do sanctioned fights or the underground circuit?
 
Chest and arms today after a 3 day hiatus. Overall I've increasd my strength about 30% across the board and put on 7 pounds all in 5 or 6 weeks.
 
Heres mine...

15 - min jog for warmup
50 min - Practice BJJ techniques and/or boxing/muay thai
4 five minute sparring sessions

Thats pretty much the same as any regular boxing or BJJ class cept I do it at home with friends. We are all experienced enough to be able to pratice effectivley but not much to LEARN new things. If I could only go back to ATT.... grrr
 
Grind day
(Adreniline injections before each set) (5-10cc of 1mg/1ml Pfizer 1000:1 adreniline)
Set:
40 pushups, Standard

20 pushups, diamond
40 sit ups
20 pushups, head stand
40 situps with added 45lb weights to chest

Repeted about, 9-10 times from 9am to 3:18pm (current time) and looks like it will keep going.
 
^Where do you take BBJ at?and from who. We got a guy that comes once a month from Miami and teaches about a 4 hour class for our little team. His name his Chaz Ramerez. I think he teaches all over the US to individuals and law enforcment agencys. He sadi he also works with SEALS in Virginia.We haver a fight this weekend in Valdosta,Ga. Two of our guys are fighting.I am not though.I'm waiting for a bigger fight in Atlanta.:)
 
I'm just starting to do weights again after 2 yrs.

question i have is: at what incline is it recommended for upper chest?

my bench doesn't have 45 degree, it's either almost flat (10 deg) or almost vertical (80 deg).
 
Your better off with the 10 degree setting then. You'd incorporate too much shoulders at 80. But that's fine. The reason i stopped doing flat benches is for one inclines build the chest better and more proportioned,but the main reason is flat benches always hurt my shoulders.I've never had a major injury while doing inclines.An incline of 10 degrees is fine though. I actualy do my dumbbell presses at 10 or 20 degrees incline.:)
 
best workout ever:

walked over a half-mile carrying beach gear in super SOFT sand

played in rough ocean waves for close to 45 minutes

walked half-mile back carrying above-mentioned beach gear

tomorrow?

perhaps a bike ride down the beach and washing the car
 
Sat/Sun were good days.

Sat: 1.5km Swim + 20km ride. 4 x 40 double crunches, 4 x 20 pushups.
Sun: 60km ride + 3km run (my running fitness is foobar, stupid injury). 4 x 40 double crunches, 4 x 20 pushups.
Today: 25km ride.
 
I ran almost two miles today . . . I thought it was two but when I went to the gas station I measured it in the car, only 1.7 . . . that's aight though, cause I never used to run more then a mile, and even that was rare . . . I'm starting to get my shit together :D . . . now to just start hitting the gym . . .
 
Sickpuppy,

I used to train with American Top Team. The HQ in Coconut Creek. Got myself up to a purple belt and started training with the pro fighters for about 6 months. Never faught in a real MMA match. But it was the greatest thing I ever did and I am proud that I was able to withstand the training. At one point I was able to do 20 min BJJ sessions nonstop... for about 2 hours. I am only 5'5 130 pounds too! Now I just roll around with friends for fun. The lifestyle you have to maintain is not possible when you need to work 40 hours a week to pay bills.

A guy I know is moving to Augusta soon and is looking for a place to train (bjj or mma). Do you know of any place I can recommend?
