That was awesome. I got called away in the middle of your squat and just came back in time to see the finish.

Eduardo Chile · 11-21-2011, 07:16 PM

Thanks Derek, I'll let you know what I'm planning next.

Squats are continuing to go in the right direction. I am going to deep for my liking on some reps, so I going to set the pins up with my pvc pipe wrapped around it to let me know if I am. You can see the first rep is way faster than the second.

I thought I was going to be able to go higher on the bench, but I knew going above 240 would have resulted in me over shooting my RPE.

Deadlift still needs some work, but this was better than my last test day.

Felt nice and tight on the 225 set. I hope to repeat this tomorrow on the competition bench. I moved Day 3 to Weds due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Boy, did I turn red during the GM's.

Gi BJJ

Worked on the no hands guard drill and the one hand pass. I was trying to not put my feet on the ground, and did not have much success doing so.

Practiced a neat sweep from half guard, and I'll need to practice it some more.

Rolled two matches and just wasn't feeling it.

Practiced moves after class.

This was not a good day for me. I'm not sure if it was going straight three days in a row or the low calories three days in a row, but it was not a good showing. I got the workout done, which I guess counts for something.

Depth Jumps 12" - 2 X 5
Explosive Pushups - 2 X 5

I think I'm going to do one more session of these plyos before the meet. That will give me about 10 days break.

After eating a bunch of food for a few days I felt way stronger.

The pause squats felt strong and I would say it was an easy 10. I felt it come together with the hip and shoulder rise.

This was conservative on the bench due to no safety pins at the gym in Miami, and to my poor showing last workout. So, it seems the other session was an off day.

The rows got stronger with each set.

Squat is getting closer to being a PR. This is my best triple in awhile. I squatted much better as the session went on. 380 was my best set.

On the bench, I noticed I felt very weak if I touched lower towards my belly. But, I also had to go a longer distance. I thought about it after the 220 set and decided to try out regular grip and not the bulldog grip. I traveled less distance and still felt strong off the chest. I figure I had trouble benching 260 twice in a row, no harm in trying this out.

Press is moving back up.

Deadlifts are up and down. Some reps feel pretty tight others feel loose. I did understand taking the slack out of the bar better on the warmup sets though.

The fatigue set felt really good and tight. I felt very stable.

The zerchers were rough after the deadlifts today.

Strong sessions, squat seems to be going well.

Thanks Steve, hoping to get back and set a PR soon.

Interesting day and I think it leads to having some good momentum. I used my new 1.25 lb plates and I figure they will come in handy on my weaker lifts. Thinking of some way to get an affordable high precision scale too to weight my plates.

The bench felt a little sloppy on the last rep of the initial work set. I wanted to do my last bench workout and feel I had good form so I repeated the weight. Felt better the second time around.

Deadlifts seem to be getting tighter and tighter. The last set is probably one of my best sets in a long time. Ended on a good note.
