Saw a couple tires walking to school today, definitely taking one back home (takin the early bus to make sure they're still there). I'm excited.

Leg day today, first time doin 6x3 with my legs. Should be pretty intense.

And by the way - just in case you aren't sure of what I was talking about earlier:

Haha, interesting log.

Send me a PM when you sign up at U.F. It'd be cool to roll with a fellow Sherdogger!

Did the V-Diet kill him?

SUP. No I'm alive, and all lifts are up, and bf is still going down (more on this below). I had my senior prom this weekend, and yes it was amazing for those wondering. Side note: there was a buffet and I put away 5 grilled chicken breasts and a tri tip along with some rice and pasta. It was amazing. I missed out on cheesecake though, which troubles me, as cheesecake is the best food there is. :/

Anyways, since, I've had 1 kinda test-run conditioning session and 2 lifting days in the machine room. 1 arm day, 1 leg day, strengths def up since I started a little clean bulkage, along with BA. Using the machine room, I've incorporated pec flies and this exercise that I'm not sure has a name. Basically, you stand with your leg over the roller in this:



and bring your leg down. Doin this 6x3, and it causes a pretty serious burn. I realize this probably seems extremely homo (let me know if it is), but when I noticed that this was possible I had trouble imagining a better exercise for guard strength. Speaking of guard strength, I wrestled/rolled last week for about 1.5 hours and didn't really fatigue. Was pretty impressed by this, as I haven't done really any conditioning lately.
Guess I have something to thank my dad for after all (genetics)... lol. Won about 85% of the rounds with my friend (we hang out, got him into lifting around December, he's about 5'10" 170 low bf with lifts almost at my level.. pretty beastly), one by gogoplata, thanks submissions101.

And I half buried that tire, need a sledge and some better weather. My senior prom left me pretty deep in debt, so I'm gonna spend this/next week looking for a job. Also, gonna focus more on olympic lifts for a while and see what happens.

Now, about the diet. The v-diet, despite all the hate it got, dropped ridiculous bf and fast, with little loss of muscle, and that's all good and well, but even more importantly, I feel, it really gave me self-control when it comes to eating. Before, at any moment, I'd go out of my way to get a rodeo burger or whatever, and this obviously wasn't helping my lifting (half of my diet was fast food). Now, though, if it's unhealthy, I don't HAVE to eat it. Also, busted out the tubs of



and suprisingly, my bf is still going down, and my lifts/overall "power" feeling way way up. I like it.

Sorry if this log was super scattershot, but I was pressed for time and class is ending. Late.

It is homo, but given that you don't have access to equipment for heavy squats maybe it's acceptable.

Grappling with someone untrained who doesn't really know what he's doing isn't quite as demanding as going against someone who's +200 pounds who has his knee on your diaphragm, or is constantly passing your guard so you have to keep shrimping away.

Submissions101 is good, so are Keith Owens's videos. You'll need to work on positions though moreso than submissions.

Diet is a constant struggle and I've found the longer I stick with it the easier it becomes to eat properly. On the flip side the more you give in the more you'll want to.

Bas Rutten recommended that machine in his DVD for improving your knee power (the way he used it was that he was basically kneeing it rather than using it how its supposed to be used). I dont particularly agree with that advice, but he used to have some of the most powerful strikes in MMA so you cant really argue with it either.
