3/2

I went to bjj gi class. We went over some fancy sweeps.

Control the collar and same side pant leg and on leg on the opponents head and the other one behind the arm against the back. You are perpendicular to your opponent.

You can go for omoplatas and a sweep over your own shoulder.

Grappled about 15 minutes.

The bench with the mini bands felt good and I think I had a better groove than the previous week.

I went with a wider grip on the cleans and it seemed to help with my form. The only issue with the cleans is they are highly technical and I haven't done them for a few weeks.

3/4

I did lots of grappling from half guard, and did a good job of pacing myself. We rolled for about 30 minutes before class and about 15 minutes in class. Lots of good cardio.

Squats feel stronger and it's really helping my form.

Push Press was not good as I'm trying a wider grip to go along with the wider grip on the cleans. I don't think I use my body efficiently.

The good mornings were an easy 9, and I really feel it in my groin muscles.

This is a big time PR for me. The highest weight I've ever handled on the squat with no belt was 385. First time ever having 4 wheels on the bar. Am I going way too low by powerlifting standards?

The press was a PR as well but I don't seem to be able to handle heavy weight in relation to what I can do for reps.

It has been a few stressful days and TRAC is showing it. But, I still feel good I lifted this and I can't wait to get some rest and see what I can do fresh. I did cut back on some of the volume, but I like to lift and this helps remove some of the stress.

This is a huge PR on the deadlift!!! I've never lifted anything heavier than 430 in the past. My form feels a lot better but I think I can improve with upper back tightness. I went to upload the video but, my camera was corrupt and I lost the videos on there. Oh well, there will be more.

My floor seems to be very close to the bench in weight.

SSB Squat was easier this week since I cut the fatigue out due to TRAC.

Thanks Derek!

Not sure if I'm going to have a test day, but I hope to get 500 if I do.

I worked out in a gym in Miami and I'm so glad I work out at home. The exercises the people were doing and what the trainers had people with no workout experience do what astounding. I forget how many ways there are to train chest, shoulders and biceps.

Anyways, the bench was a PR as well and the bar didn't have markings so it was hard to tell where I set up.

The bar didn't rotate well at all so it made the squats a bit harder, but it really forced me to stay upright.
