On my way back to the top.

DB Bench:
(Weight for each hand)

This workout marks a big day for me. At the beginning of the year I had some injury and had to quit weightlifting for a while. This workout shows I'm increasing my lifts again. Very happy with the progress over the past month. Still have a goal of 300 bench 400 squat and 500 deadlift. I'm getting there!

Went into the gym and started doing my full body workout, thought I looked a bit smaller than usual (DEM INSECURITIES).

Went back to doing splits again lol.

I just looked in the mirror and thought to myself "I could've sworn I was bigger"

I dunno I just like the feeling of doing a good split and having an intense workout that just doesn't feel the same with fullbody.

I gave it a chance, decided it wasn't for me, so I'm going back to what I like.

Hammer Strength Linear Leg Press:

I'm getting better with this movement but don't go for 1RM's. Instead I go for what weight can I push for at LEAST 10 reps. Today, it was 838 LBS. My form was a little off as this was my 6th or 7th set but you get the general idea. My goal is to get up to a half ton i.e. 1,000 LBS for 10 reps. Hopefully I get there by the end of this year 2013.

Yes I know I need to go a little but lower...

Squat: Working on Heavy Weight Form:

As the weight goes up, the form becomes more important. Instead of trying for a 1 RM today I focused more on heavy weight form. This set with 8 reps shows fairly decent form. Chest out, shoulders pinned back, legs spread properly, knees slightly out, hand stance wide, Proper grip, face forward, dropping deep with slow & steady reps as well as quick pausing breaks mid set. Now, if only I can keep this form at 405LBS +.... Practice practice practice...

Only thing I'd say to work on is depth, seem a little high.

MMA training.....

Today was the start of my "Official" MMA training. I say "Official" because of who my trainer is. So I now do the Gym, Crossfit & MMA training.

In the past I have Boxed & done Karate.

I also as of today, am officially licensed by the Athletic Commission to fight. I had to get a specific blood test, a physical, a sports physical & go down to the athletic commission, ect.

I have an official Sanctioned fight scheduled for Jan 31st which will be available on Pay-Per-View as well as in person. I am very excited for the opportunity to legally fight in a venue such as this. I fight in the "Super Heavy Weight" division & will give more details sometime in mid Dec...

I am very excited about this.... It's similar to being able to take your bike on the track to see what you really got. In this case, I will be taking my body in the ring!

I saw this last night and just wanted to share, Cyril Depres training tips.It mostly looks like techniques you could use to mix up your warmup routines.Everything in the video can be done at home though.

Squatting 155 right now.


Going full beast mode on my legs recently. Hopefully I can get my squat up to 200 before the year is over.

I'm sure that would add another 10 pounds on me easily.

Twist & Turn & Stretch: Keep it ugly

This movement is more difficult than it looks & you will feel the burn. This was my 4th set of this movement. The goal is to keep your feet planted & using your hips & arms attempt to swing the plates as high up as you can while you twist & turn.I hope to get better at this as time goes on..

Thumbs Out

Whenever you wrap your thumbs around the bar in any way, you are incorporating your forearms into the movement. In this video, you will notice that I keep my thumbs parallel with the bar thus taking my forearms out of the equation entirely. This results in making the movement more difficult while at the same time using the muscles intended for the movement. You can clearly see this is more difficult for me because my thumbs are parallel to the bar vs being wrapped around it.
