New Partner, More Consitency

So yesterday was a bust kind of day for me ended up being awake for 28 hours eat out 3 times and did not count shot for calories.
I participated in a special Olympics charity event where we lifted percent of body weight for max reps. I did not do to bad concise ring I’m a low rep no isolation kind of lifter.
Bench press 140x31
Standing Arms curls 70x58
Leg ext 95x33
Form was not a big deal at this event to most guys or the judges but I tried to stay as strict as I could.

All and all a good day and our small event raised over $3000 for our local special Olympics.

Today we are off to the Arnold expo. I’ll do my best to get my diet somewhat straight today but who knows. Light cheat weekend I guess and I’ll have to work it off next week.

I can imagine that trying to push your weights and your fighting training is hard on you.

reading your log and then my log sure does make it seem that I am not doing near enough in the gym to be as sore as I am. I know that it may be apples and oranges but still cant help but make me wonder

Bench
75% x5 165x5
80%x5 175x5
85% x 5 or more 185x12 = 258.926

dumbell mil press 3x10 30
tbar row 3x10 90
lat pull downs narrow reverse 3x10 170

also walked on the tread mill this morning for 20 mins 3.0 incline 3.0 mph.

Went to the Arnold expo this weekend and watched the amateur strong man finals here are some pics.

not sure who this is but I am sure he was a pro

russian soldier and the 300 lb anvil


500 lb anchor chain

550 duck walk

the contestants


the winner

also got to see Mark Coleman walking around and wathced a little boxing and some Muay Tai

45 minutes of skill work and drills with ab work and speed work thrown in.
This is hopefully going to be the big change in what my workouts look like. I am hoping to get at least 1 or 2 sessions a week in of doing ground drills and then some boxing on the heavy bag.
Specifically working on straight punches and rolling around for flexibility and mobility. I am also doing some speed work with the legs like high jumps, jumping leg lunges and jumping from a kneeling position to standing.

I’m figuring out real quick that I move like a 90 year old man when it comes to mat time so I am hoping to fix that.

Did you watch any of the powerlifting at the Arnold? I hoping to go [watch] next year.
