I probably will rest until Tuesday, might do some light high rep arms. Then will start going hard again on Thursday depending on whether it's healed up enough.

Mean bro im booked for similar amount of coverage over next few weeks. Be glad to get it over with arms are a breeze compared ! Looks real good mate

87kg bodyweight. Up 8kg in 16 days post comp lol. Been easily eating 6000+ calories a day. Started dieting again at 3600 calories. Wanna get back down to 84kg and stay there until Proraw so I can make weight for U80kg class there. 2 hour weigh in so I'm gonna try and cut 3 or 4kg which should be doable without losing strength.

Bodyweight about 87kg in the morning.

So what's the plan bro? Are you doing pro raw, if you what weight class? So what's your programming gonna look like etc.

Keen to hear the plan

Yeah I'm doing ProRaw. Will be in the 95kg class. I don't think I can keep weight under 83kg to make 80kg class and just wanna be strong as f*ck. Hoping to increase morning weight to 90kg by then and squat 300+, bench 165+ and deadlift 275+ total 740.

 

Programming is just one working set AMRAP. Started at 60% last week and increasing by 4% each week up to 96% the week before comp. Have a couple of deloads programmed in too. Doing squats and deads once a week, bench (one strength and one hypertrophy) twice a week.

 

Today was bench and tris (just hypertrophy day)

 

Bench press

20kg x8

60kg x10

100kg x10

120kg x7 dropset 100kg x6 dropset 60kg x9

Bodyweight 88kgs

Interesting have you done this before? Guess the rep ranges will self regulate and reduce close to comp as weight goes up.

Yep reps will decrease as weight increases. This is how I've always trained, I like it cos I can just push myself to the limit on one set and not be restrained by a certain number of reps

[BeastBuilder]

Are those percentages taken off of your previous best 1RMs or what you want to hit at ProRaw ?

[Leeroid]

They're based on my goal lifts which are about 105% of my PRs.

[Tonkintechnique]

strong as bro! Your going to be one big mother f*cker at 95kg!

But Im not a fan of you saying your going to compete in MMA bro not with all this info on the net about you taking gear bro, things could go bad.

Oh yeah probably not haha, would be cool though but wouldn't be fair either as well as what you mentioned. I'll just do it for fun and fitness, I'd most likely get caned anyway in a fight cos I'm too slow and unfit lol.

 

Too much weights and not enough speed training

[Realtalk]

Dude... half of MMA fighters in NZ are on the juice. It's not unfair. It's not even drug tested. Lifting community very small and that's where all these other sports people get their stuff from (the bodybuilders) so we all know who is using shit.

[Leeroid]

Last night did deadlifts and back

Deadlifts went up to 190kg for 6. Fucked up the first set, should have got at least 10 so did a second set of 6. Then did pull ups and bicep curls.

Think I'm gonna go back to sumo deadlifts from next week as it'll put less stress on my back and also better leverages

88kg bodyweight

Your sumo conventional is pretty similar as far as max goes?

Yeah max is 260 with both

Did Bench last Thursday. Got only 8 reps with 112.5kg which is shit considering I got 16 with 105kg the week before and 7 with 120kg 4 days prior. Think I was just really tired and a little bit sick, had symptoms of flu which didn't really turn into anything thankfully. 

 

Didn't do squats cos I went up to Auckland on the weekend and ended up staying awake for 25 hours after starting work at 3am and then going out to town etc. So did deadlifts on Tuesday and did 2 reps with 200kg sumo. First time trying sumo again, felt ok but glutes were cramping up which is why I could only do 2 reps.

 

Today i did some bench before Jiujitsu at that place and got 10 reps with 120kg which is a PB. I think the barbell may only weigh 18kg and the plates are all over the place though so might've been way less but still happy with it. Previous PB was 9 reps which was when I was strongest in May or June and I benched 155kg. So hoping that my bench will improve as it hasn't really moved since November last year.

 

Bodyweight was 89.1kg this morning which is the most I've weighed. I don't think I've been over 89kg before. Wanna get to 92kg morning weight by ProRaw so I have 8 weeks to put 3kg on. Don't really care if it's fat and water and I'm a bloated mess. I just want to hit big PBs at Proraw and get the numbers up.

[Leeroid]

On Saturday I did some squats

 

60kg x8

100kg x5

140kg x5

180kg x2

220kg x2 (wraps on)

250kg x1

220kg x5

 

250 felt heavy and was quite slow. I had planned on going up to maybe 280 for a single just to see where my strength was at but decided to leave it at 250. The 5 reps with 220kg was pretty easy, I should've done 8 tbh I wasn't really motivated though and just racked it after 5.

 

SLDL

80kg x12, 2 sets

 

Leg press

x20, 3 set

 

Seated leg curls

x15, 3 sets

 

Leg extensions

x15, 3 sets

On Monday I did deadlifts sumo went up to 220kg for 2 singles then couldn't get 240 off the floor :/

Then Wednesday I did bench, got 130 for 7 reps touch and go which is a PB. Did Jiujitsu on Monday Tuesday and Thursday night too which I'm loving, so much fun.

On Friday I went up to Auckland and got my shading started on my back tattoo. Attached pic. Took a few tramadols and a codeine and the pain was a lot more manageable than the first session. Only downside was it made me feel nauseous on the 3 hour ride back home to Rotorua and I ended up spewing. Really happy with how my inks turned out, another 3 sessions to go, should be finished by January. The phoenix needs to be coloured in gold and the warrior will be coloured in too, not too sure what colors yet.
