Today’s Workout 6/12
Dead lift 3 x 175/200/225 Lbs.
Squat 5 x 10 @ 125 Lbs
DB Swing 3 x 10 @ 45 Lbs
I may have asked this before, but . . . how come your OH press is so strong relative to squat and deadlift?
I’ve reset my dead lift and squat to a lower number. I have some nerve damage in my hands and sometimes loose my grip on the dead lift. Also I’ve had some time off from squatting and dead lifting after breaking a toe, injuring a knee and pulling a muscle in my back. Previously I was pulling 260+ (maxing just over 300) and squatting 240+ (maxing between 275 & 300).

Jack sh$t for assistance work
Then 2.5 hours of Judo 1st hour working with the little kids. Then lots of mat work 1st with the wrestler/BJJ guys than the other students.
Finished with a command performance for my next test.
I should get back on DB pullovers. Do you lay entirely on the bench or just your shoulders? Does balancing start getting weird at 50 lbs?

Well, a lot has happened since my last post. I now live in Columbia South Carolina. I have access to a couple of gyms (YAY!) there is one Judo club.
Before I left Ohio I tested for my Nikyu (2nd degree brown belt) and I have passed that test. Things are finally settling down so I was able to get a class with the Judo club. They mainly focus on MMA and BJJ with Danzen ryu Juijisu (aka Combat Judo). The Judo class was OK I was the only one wearing a gi. Randori was interesting. I wonder how people will react if I grab shirts or skin rather than like a wrestler? On Monday I get back to 5 3 1. I am considering making the overhead press a clean and press, any feedback?
I like clean and press because it balances the shoulder muscles well, but it often means you sacrifice reps since the amount of work (a’ la physics) is twice as much. I usually clean just the first rep as a compromise with my ego.
Albino, thanks for the info. So my plan for the next cycle: 1st rep of each set will be a full clean and then a press. After that will do power cleans and press. I will keep updating my log to track what happens. This could be FUN!

Today’s Workout 8/8: Mat work. Mainly escapes from, what in MMA is called, Full Mount. In Judo it’s a pin happily there was a young wrestler there who was more than willing to make me work rather than just go thru the motions, and he was even close to my weight (which is a nice change from giving up 75-80 Lbs or out weighing my partner by 50Lbs).
