5/3/1 and Grappling 4 fun Log

Results from last cycle

Max by formula. Change from last
Bench. 233. -9 lbs
Squats. 322. -41 lbs.
Military. 139. Same
DL. 403. -17 lbs.

All dropped a hood bit except military. I'm confident it is just because my 1's week was the week back after the tournament. My other weeks were all solid. I think I'll be back on track this cycle so I'm taking my usual jumps.

New max number
Bench. 185.5
Squats. 285
Military. 105 mini's
DL. 320. Plus 1" mats

Thinking of doing a SARM's run this summer. Still looking into it though.

Good session. No new or beginner guys so we were able to work on our stuff, de la riva and 1/2 guard lockdown, my bread and butter.

Treadmill work tomorrow and more max effort grass cutting. On a positive note I finally sold my house. Sad to see the garage go, but I'll be happy to see all that $$$, as well as not have to pay utilities, taxes, and insurance on a place I don't live in. Also I won't have to cut the grass but 2 more times and I can finally work on my yard. I do need to find somewhere to store my mats and equipment for now.

Very tuff workout. The diet and rolling and conditioning are starting to take a toll on my lifting performance. I just have to gut out 3 more workouts until the tournament. I'll do some sprint work and a hard roll tomorrow. I am going to try some extra carbs Friday before squats to see if that helps. I think I'm going to stay around a 182 post practice weight. I'll just have to suffer a tougher cut next Friday. I don't want to lose anymore strength or endurance. I'm am right about where I need to be conditioning and strength wise and other than being tired yesterday I'm feeling really good on the mats.

Bit tough but not like Wednesday night. Had some extra carbs today and last night. Weighed out at182lbs last night. Feeling pretty good about next weekend.
On a side note, I've decided I'm gonna try a SARM's run, probably an 8 week run starting in August. Also decided on a PH cycle, maybe next spring.

Weigh-ins are closed at 6:00, Friday and I don't want to miss them. Taking half a day off Friday if weight isn't where I need it Thursday. Feeling pretty good so far.

Slight change of plans. Treadmill and practice tonight, last lactic acid workout tomorrow. Weight was 180.6 after practice. Plan is to do weights tomorrow, treadmill Thursday and then go to the gym and do my cut Thursday night. I'll go super low carb starting tomorrow and Thursday and also water up tomorrow and Thursday until about 3:00. Then I'll be ready to strip it off. Weigh-ins are 3-6 pm on Friday.

Started cut workout at 178.6. This used to be a somewhat cool test of mental toughness for me, now it just plain SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Tournament report. Made weight Friday night at 174.8. Had a few meals and a decent nights sleep and was ready to go. Tournament started an hour and 15 minutes late as usual. I did Blue Belt open and had three other people. All actual Blue Belts. First match, I won 14-2, second I believe it was 12-0. Might have been the other way around. Anyway, here they are:

Off till Monday. Have a party to go to tonight. SARM's arrived on wednesday. I am starting them on Monday. I'm not a BB type but I might post up some before shots just for ****s and giggles. I need to get bodyfat done Tuesday. I'd like to compare before and after numbers. Also BW was 179.4 post practice yesterday and strength is still going up, slowly and steadily. I got a tournament set for July 7th in Philly. The good fight.

Good workout. Just started the banded abs on the GHR. I like them, but I'll have to tinker with the resistance to get it right. Also I decided to up me calories a bit. My weight is where it needs to be for this tournament, so I'm going to maintenance calories.

Very tough workout. It's a combination of dieting and getting close to overtraining I think. Also the fact that it was 95 degrees in the gym didn't help either. My form broke down a fair bit on squats. After this tournament I've got a good month of eating and charging up the batteries. I'm looking at a NAGA in early September if this tournament goes well.

Feeling pretty good after a few days rest. Registration for tournament complete. Blue belt executive 175lbs ( the make you go executive if you are white or blue) and advanced no Gi open 175lbs. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time with being in blue for Gi and purple/advanced for no Gi. I'd do purple Gi but I don't think they'd let me with only a white belt. Besides I've got a lot of wrestling and no Gi experience. DL and rolling tomorrow, run on Wednesday and another roll on Thursday and then it's make weight time which should be über easy this time. Looking forward to putting on some pounds and gaining some strength. I'm stalling out a bit with the cutting.

Tournament report

Well it was a bit of a mediocre day. I had 7 guys in my division which turned out to be a problem, believe it or not. First match was a squirmy guy who was pretty strong, probably about 30ish. Pulled guard and had a few sweeps and passes. I also gave up 2 passes trying to hit different submissions. Won 9-5. Felt a little gassed for some reason. Second match had a shorter, sticky kid. Shot a single and passed to the side. Up 5-0. Sat in side and worked the collar for a few chokes. It couldn't get anything set. Eventually I wore him down and isolated an arm and tapped him with a V-arm. Last match kid was really tough, especially with spider guard. I pulled guard and he pushed a knee through. When I stuffed it I could fell him getting ready to back step so I waited for it. He did and I hooked the leg and popped up for the sweep. I was working double under passes when I has an opportunity for a standing pass but I knew I was t go an pick up the under hook. I hit it with a guillotine in mind and landed with the guillotine tight. He jumped to his back to escape and I climbed on top, but somehow it go loose. All I got was an advantage for some reason even though I ended up in side. Things stated going downhill from here. I felt pretty spent. Not dead, just not fresh like I usually do. He got back to guard and I got a head and arm caught on a stupid hip shift because I relaxed and tried to slow down and assess myself. Triangle. Some on pretty quick and I tapped. I had hurt my neck in the semi's and wasn't taking any chances. So another final match where I was winning and got tapped. I was pretty dissappointed. On thing that really hurt was the kid in the finals had only one match before me and it was with a 17 year old kid who he worked for a few minutes then was off the mat. I think if I was fresh I would have had a better than fair shot at beating him.
I am going to start working some new passes. I don't know what but I have to up my passing game. I feel great on my feet and on bottom. I can dictate where the fight occurs with my wrestling and I haven't found anybody I can't sweep yet. My passes are good but I think they are too predictable right now. As a rule if I pass I win if I don't I loose. That seems to be my

Tournament report

Well it was a bit of a mediocre day. I had 7 guys in my division which turned out to be a problem, believe it or not. First match was a squirmy guy who was pretty strong, probably about 30ish. Pulled guard and had a few sweeps and passes. I also gave up 2 passes trying to hit different submissions. Won 9-5. Felt a little gassed for some reason. Second match had a shorter, sticky kid.

Sorry for all the typo's. I'm on my phone and it's pissing me off.
 
General rule. I'm off for a few days then back at it. I'm also off the strict diet until I'm back from vacation July 28th. I'll get some videos posted later in the week when they get downloaded.

Not bad. Tried the pause squats and I'm going to stick with them. I'm going to try and up them to 5 second pauses gradually over the next few weeks. Levers felt better and form was better. The extra calories are helping already.

Not a bad workout. I'm not pushing anything too hard. This was supposed to be yesterday but I had some stuff going on. Tomorrow is DL and then I'm taking off for 10 days at the beach. I'll get some workouts in down there. Probably just 5/3/1 movement and 1 assistance, then I'll do some of the machines for fun and that will be it. Bodyweight was up to 183.5 on Saturday. Not too bad for a week off the diet wagon. I'll come back from the beach at 195 minimum. I always blow up when I'm on vacation. All the salty seafood and beer.

Chrome and fitness palace. It was awful. No chalk allowed. Should be interesting squatting, Sunday or Monday. I think if I want my bench to start moving again, I am going to have to stop super setting it with chins. It's too hard on the shoulder.
