Jiu Jistu last night - didn't get round to logging this.<br />
<br />
1.5 hours, worked on a single-under guard pass then sparring. Got the tozi pass and the kimura from side control, but no kimura from guard. Not too disappointed though as I did hit several nice sweeps.<br />
<br />
Weight this morning was 88.4kg without a gi. The gi adds just under 2kg so I've lost a kilo since the weekend and 1/2kg since this time last week (I always seem to weigh heavier at the weekend, I think it's the food & drink).<br />

Sorry Im a thick prop bro. What are GI and BJJ? -

BJJ is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. A gi is your martial arts ninja suit<br />

Yeah, I'm afraid there's going to be plenty of Jiu Jitsu terminology in this log, no real way to avoid it. Just ask if you don't understand anything and I'll try to explain or post a pic/video.<br />
<br />
Just tried out that squat test, RB, I like it. It's about as deep as I usually go but it's a nice way to test form. -

[B]Thursday 06/09/12[/B]<br />
<br />
Bench<br />
3x3 92.5kg (easy compared to Saturday, could have done more. Increase the weight next time)<br />
<br />
Kroc Rows<br />
3x17 25kg (each hand)<br />
<br />
1.5hrs BJJ<br />
<br />
We had a couple of purple belts visiting so I rolled with both of them. They both completely dominated me, of course, but it was fun and my tapping hand got lots of exercise.<br />
<br />
Didn't get any keylocks as planned, people seem to be defending them really well. But I did manage to transition to an armbar off a couple of failed attempts. -

A 400g tub of strawberries has 112 calories. I'm suspicious. Too good to be true, surely?<br />

Check on http://www.myfitnesspal.com and got 128g which is slightly different but still dam low. Looks to be a great low cal option. A few grams of sugar there though -
[u]SImon, did this today (why is my laptop underlining this?), and it was KILLER, 300 walking lunges, followed by 150 hamstring curls. Curls might be out of the question, but if you want to slam your quads, that's 12 minutes of mayhem right there... alternate longer strides and shorter strides to hit quads more (short), and glutes (long).[/u]

Lazy weekend cost me, as I was back up to 89.0kg this morning! Still, that's less than this time last week so I'm not too upset.<br />
<br />
I ran rather than cycled in this morning, too, which should help my cause. 3 miles, a lot of hills, 20 minutes. -

Nice, Bart! I probably won't do this for a little while now, but for future reference do you add any weight to the walking lunges, or are they just bodyweight? How do you do the hamstring curls, on a machine, with a cable pulley, or on your knees with someone holding your ankles? -
My scales were broken this morning (at least I hope they were, they were telling me I'd gained 30kg overnight then giving me error messages!) Hopefully it's just the batteries.<br />
<br />
My lifting programming has been a bit haphazard lately; up until a month ago I had been doing a strict 3x5 with linear progression. I’ve stalled out 3 times on most lifts now and for the past few weeks have just been playing around with lower rep/higher weight stuff.<br />
<br />
I'm going on holiday on 22nd September for a week and once I come back I'm going to start Jim Wendler's 5/3/1, which hopefully will give me a bit more structure while allowing me to prepare for my BJJ tourney a month later. This means that over the next couple of weeks I’m going to attempt to set new 1-rep maxes for all the big lifts, starting tonight with the overhead press.<br />
<br />
Jiu jitsu-wise, tonight’s goals are to work on armbars from guard, standing guard passes and cross-collar chokes from mount (the latter suck to be on the receiving end of, I’m feeling a bit sorry for my training partners). -
Ain't that the truth. It's that very painful fact that prohibits me from being allowed to buy supplements by the wife....<br />
<br />
<br />
Mrs MN5: We don't have money for that shit, not like you're a bodybuilder or powerlifter or getting money for it....<br />
<br />
MN5: Yeah but I like getting stronger !<br />
<br />
Mrs MN5: Why ?<br />
<br />
MN5: ( shuffles feet and looks down, confused )
Visiting my girlfriend's parents this weekend so it'll have to wait till next week now.
