Hello all, new here. Decided to get back to keeping an online log again and this looked like a good place. I kept one for a long time on the old hardgainers site many years ago (2001-2005??). Guess some background is in order. I lifted through HS and got more serious in college. Hit best meet lifts @ 195lbs. of 551 272 551 all equiped and drug free in the old ADFPA around 1995. After college I got into MMA and did some fighting for about 4-5 years. Did okay, but my team dried up and at the time it was a dead end sport so I bagged it and went back to lifting and coaching. Did westside and started to get back to being strong. Hit raw numbers in the gym of around 485 335 500. After a few years when MMA blew up I got pulled in by accident before I knew it. At first it was just coaching then the next thing you know I'd dropped 60 lbs. and was in my first grappling tournament and working out of a gym with real instructors and I went in full bore. Learned a ton about fighting and also about myself. I've been fighting and grappling very seriously for the last four years. I've had a lot of trouble getting fights this last year and since I'm turning 40 in a few months I decided to hang up the gloves permanently this time. Just had another fight cancelled two days ago after a month of fight camp and expenses and I decided it was time. I still plan on Grappling along with my lifting, but I am adamant about reeling in the intensity and just having fun and enjoying the whole thing. Drinking craft beers and eating wings is gonna go good with my new training program.
As for the program, I'm gonna run 5/3/1 like everybody else nowadays. Pretty basic except my conditioning will be a scaled down version of what I did for MMA which was a blown up version of Martin Rooney's Hurricane workout that I came up with. Best conditioning workout I've ever done. I'll still do no-gi grappling and even some padwork 1-2 times a week, just enough to stay north of vag. Any feedback is welcome. looking forward to the ride.

Did a little extra bench volume. Gonna do it for all major lifts. I'll drop this after the first or second cycle, as soon as I get back into the weightlifting groove.

Realized I never gave the working maxes I am using or any goals for the year. Working maxes were 225/210/225/135 and I took 85% of those instead of 90%. Goals by end of year are pretty small, 315/225/315/150 and do at least 2 grappling tourney's and actually start Gi work this summer and compete in the Gi once.

What a humiliating experience. I used to rep 4 plates on squats and hit sets of 15 with 175 in the GM. I had to push to get those 10 reps at 163.5 squatting. Felt like rubber and off balance. This is gonna take a while. On the bright side I bought a GHR last night. Gonna pick it up next week.

Haven't worked out since Thursday. Went and picked up my GHR Friday night and it is pretty nice. I definitely over spent on it. Saturday I got major sick and I haven't been able to do anything since. Was really bad Yesterday and today. Wasn't sure I was going to make it through a full day of work. Took tomorrow off from work, hopefully I can at least squat tomorrow, probably a "Jack ****" Template tomorrow and Wednesday. Hopefully I'll be back to normal by Friday.

How did you hook up the bands to assist you with the ghr?

If you search the net you can usually find some grappling tournaments around or see if any gyms in the area are doing any in-house competitions

I looped them around the upright that the ankle pads are on. Seemed to work fine.
I found a few semi-local tournaments, just gotta get a plan together and choose one, and get rolling a little more consistently. Been missing some lately with the mountains of snow we've been getting. Hopefully this stuff will break soon and I can get back to my old rolling patterns, 3-4 times a week.

Looks like you made some good supplemental lift choices here. Really liked how you incorporated 5/3/1 into your lifting.

Is that defrancos agile 8 in your warmup?

Yep, his agile 8 and simple 6. I'm turning 40 this year so I'm gonna try and be more proactive on warming up and keeping some mobility/flexibility. I know I'm gonna stiffen up due to all the contact over the years, but I want to minimize it as much as possible. Read about them on the EFS board so I looked them up and gonna run them and see how they work for me.

Skipped Deload for this cycle. This will most likely be the only time I do it. Intensity is still very low. Going to 3 days a week from now on. I am going to stick with the 3 sets of the main exercise after the big set for the day, for one more cycle then I think I'm going to drop them, certainly for lower body. I'm gonna add a little more volume into the conditioning workouts for lower body, I have a tire and I want to get a prowler. I'll have to play around with it when the time comes.

I want a prowler too but the price plus shipping cost is a killer. I am looking into trying to make one either fromm wood or if I can find a scrap metal place here and see if they have box tubing then I can get one welded.

You can use a old tire as a sled for the mean time. Just drill a hole in the side.. pop in a eye hook.. hook it up to some rope or chain and then load the tire with sandbags or plates. Its a little ghetto but it gets the job done

Josh - I have a ghetto sled like ur describing. I used a prowler of my buddies and I don't know why but there is no comparison. Something about them that makes them so much more miserable than the regular sled??? I use a regular sled for hand over hand pulling a fair bit.

I had a welder make me a small plate sled which I use for sprints, hand over hand pulls, etc. The one reason why I want a prowler is to get that upright push position for the posterior chain and also the ability to load more weight. I saw some people rig up tires like sleds but I never have. This summer I plan on making a prowler.. When I do I will be posting pics to make everyone jealous! :D

I have two pair. I've had them pretty much since they have been available on EFS. They are without a doubt the greatest piece of supplemental weightlifting equipment for a grappler/combat athlete ever. I made fat bars and DB's with PVC before, but you can only do so much because of convenience. I used them for every exercise for years. My crushing grip in dynamic situations is probably 3x what it used to be. I can shut down almost anybody my size by hanging on. I wish I would have had them as a kid for wrestling, I seriously think they can transform your game and especially the things you can shutdown. I have guys get totally frustrated not being able to get out of my grip.

I been wanting to get them and just never ordere them. I think I am going to place an order today though!! You made a thick bar out of PVC? I was thinking of making one out of black pipe but havent yet. I also found a pretty cool clip on youtube on making some indian clubs with just pipes and fittings.

Get 1" and 2" inside diameter PVC and some duct tape. Take the end off one of you crappier bars and put a few rings of tape, I think I did 5. 1 in the center, two on the ends and then a set in between and work the 1"ID on. THen do the same thing to the PVC and work the 2" ID on. Put the end back on the bar. For the DB's I did basically the same thing, except with spin-lock DB handles. Worked well. I still use the BB's ( I made two) for all pressing and curls and stuff like that. I use the fat gripz for all my DB stuff except for a few things.

let me know how u like them, i think i wanna try that
definetely will bud!.. I am gonna have to do some experimenting to see what exercises I like to use them with. At first ima want to use them for every BB and DB movement I do but reallisticly some movements may be better done with a regular bar so you can use maximum weight. I imagine those grips will limit the amount of weight you can use.. maybe for a dynamic effort or repeated effort day. I can prolly attach them them to my power cage and do timed hangs or sandbag guard holds with them. I dunno but its gonna be fun experimenting!

Any thoughts sinister?

Previously when I was training specifically for combat sports I used them for every movement except for my first pulling exercise for the day, DE or ME didn't matter. On my circuit I used them for everything, Chins, rows, CS rows, pulldowns, curls, everything. Now I am using a little more like Josh described, Holds, hangs, Curls, any pressing, Stuff like that, also on my conditioning circuit. It does limit you at first, but if you are training specifically for MMA/Grappling/Wrestling, the payoff after about 6 months is incredible.

GHR's getting a little better. Was tired from shoveling 10" of wet snow. Workouts are going to get a little erratic for the next month or two. Hopefully still gonna get 3 a week in but some weeks may be tough. Also not going to get to train any Jits or anything for a while. I got a buyer for my house and am moving into my mothers house for 2 months or so until the new house is ready. Nicer house except I am going to lose my home gym and it's a really nice set-up, 1000 Square feet, rack reverse hyper GHR, 600 feet of mat space heavy bags, treadmill, and lots of other stuff. It's taken me 6 years to get it the way it is. I'll get some pics of it before I go. New place has a garage and I'll get to set up my weight training area, maybe even a little bigger, but mat space is gonna be an issue. Garage has an upstairs, but I'm not sure whether it's gonna fly yet. Haven't been able to see the upstairs of the garage yet. We will see.

On mats I went all in, got the 2" Dollurmur mats. Work great but expensive. I'll post gym pics when I hit 50 posts. Won't let you before that for some reason. Tried the other day.

Skipped Wednesday workout for my Daughters 6th birthday party. Going to be working out at the school gym on Wednesdays for a while. Should be alright, I was the coach when it was built and I picked the equipment so it's pretty well equipped, even has a GHR and a few sets of chains. Bunch of stuff from EliteFTS. I'll take my accessory stuff in my bag (bands, Fat Gripz, micro plates, etc). Only thing missing is a Reverse Hyper, but no big deal, I'll still get it in every other workout at home. As a plus they have one of my old pulling sleds so I can do some different lower body conditioning.

Shadow Boxing 2x3:00
Thai Pads 2x5:00
Thai Bag 2x5:00

Gonna squat tonight if I'm feeling into it, if not I'll do it tomorrow as planned. I'm going to have to start doing some light shin conditioning. Can't pop the pads like I used to because my shins have tenderized already. A couple of sets on the light tire should be plenty.
