My elbows hurt too much today to bench heavy. That sucks because my plan was to try for a new max. Oh, well. I realized after 225 that wasn't going to happen. I also realized this meant that dynamic rows were out for today.

Bench
8x45
5x95
5x135
3x185
2x205
1x225
20x135

I went ahead and did some lightweight curls. They are supposed to be good for preventing elbow injuries. I guess we'll see.

Curls(per arm)
10x15
10x15
10x15

Squats:
10x135
10x155
10x175
10x195

Workout didn't feel so great. Strength is definitely suffering because of the endurance focus of my martial arts classes. I just can't get in enough strength work. I've got a new plan I'm going to try and we'll see if it helps.

Standing Overhead Press(strict):
8x45
5x95
5x130
5x130
5x130
5x130

Pull-ups:
5xBW
5xBW+30
5xBW+30
5xBW+30

Felt like crap on these. I had intended to do 4 sets with weight. Did some lightweight curls to make up for some of it.
Per arm:
10x15
10x15

Snatch grip platform deadlift(using only 25lbs and smaller plates to bring the bar closer to the ground):
5x95

Grappling class tonight.

Jog, various shuffles somersaults, etc . . .

20 squats
10 jump squats
30 situps
30 leg raises
30 push-ups

Practice single leg take downs for a bit by walking the motion across the mat.

Learned how to properly apply an achilles lock.

Practiced achilles lock with partner for a while.

Learned how to apply a toe hold.

Practiced toe hold with partner for a while.

Wrestled from legs interlocked position for a while, alternating partners every minute.

The wrestling went really well. I got a submission by Achilles lock once. I didn't get submitted any. There was one guy there who owned me though. He just swept me every time like it was nothing. It was especially annoying because he's in my weight class. Some of the bigger guys could stand up from the position easily but nobody could get past me as easily as he did. I shouldn't feel too bad because he's one of the most experienced members of the class but it still annoys me.

I decided to try and work some of my assistance lifts after classes. Probably not a good idea.

Flys:
10x30 dumbbells
10x30

Bench:
10x135

Push-pulls:
10x40(each side)

Somehow I always end up with partner taller than me who holds their gloves out to the side. It's very hard to punch with speed when your targets are three feet apart and upwards. I lost my form bad during this combo.

Practice a diagonal elbow, uppercut combination.
Hold push-up position at the bottom, come up, back to bottom, hold for a while, come up back to bottom, hold for a while, place right arm on stomach, hold, place left arm on stomach, hold.

Mountain climbers for 5 minutes.
Squat jumps for 3 minutes.
Push-up postion hand together, walk hands out, do wide push-up, walk hands in do 3 diamond push-ups, walk hands out, do wide push-ups, walk hands in, do diamond push-ups for a bit.

Me legs died during the mountain climbers. Felt like I was going to pull a muscle. I barely had anything going for the squat jumps and by the last bit I couldn't even maintain push-up postion because of my legs.

I did a pretty good deadlift session on Sunday but that shouldn't have done it. Practicing takedowns on Monday is pretty much a really exaggerated lunge but that shouldn't have done it. I think the capper was that my partner tonight was a big boy, I'm thinking ~280-300lbs. I was feeling his low kicks through the pad just fine. I think aadding it all together really killed my left leg.

I hate sucking. Feeling very frustrated right now.

The theme of tonight's workout was: "Come on now, I know better than that."

Started off intending to do a high rep bench workout.
10x135
10x175

Changed my mind halfway through. Come on now, I know better than that.

1x225

225 was harder than it should be. Elbows still hurt from kickboxing. Decided to go for a personal record on bench. Come on now, I know better than that.

0x245

Decided to drop down 5 pounds. Dropping down abit after a PR attempt never works. Come on now, I know better than that.

0x240

Decided I needed to do at least 1 more complete rep. Did this immediately after. Come on now, I know better than that.

1x225

This was the hardest 225 has ever been.

Did decline flies. Mock all you want but they've worked for me in the past and my bench performance has suffered since I dropped them.

3 sets of 10 with 35 lb dumbbells.

Pull-ups: 8xBW
Hammer grip pull-ups: 7xBW
Chins: 6xBW

Squats:
5x135
5x185
2x225
1x245
1x265

Couldn't tell if that last was parallel or not. Went and got the girlfriend to watch for me.

1x265

So, squat has gone up. Still not as good as my PR but moving up.

[FATKID]

I'd fall over dead from that kind of lifting and fight training.

Good shit, man. You'll find your groove with all of it soon enough. Balancing that shit is ROUGH!!!!

[SinCollector]

I actually died already. Now I'm going to use "the Zombie" as my fighter nickname.

OHP Strict:
10x45
10x95
10x105
8x115(avoiding failure, may have had more)

Dips
10xBW
14xBW

Kick-boxing today.

Made it through class pretty well and started feeling cocky. Then, while Guy gave his end of class talk, I started feeling a little woozy. Then the spots in the vision started. It started getting bad. Finally, I ended up taking a knee. I am pretty sure if I had remained standing I would have passed out. The problem: I hardly ate anything today and barely drank anything.

Practiced these things:
Jab
Jab, cross
Jab, jab
Jab, Jab, cross
Jab, Jab, cross, hook
Jab, jab, cross, elbow
Uppercut, hook
Lead leg push kick, low kick
Knees in clinch

And some others.

Did a lot of push-ups, sit-ups, squats and jump squats.
