my head is spinning from to much knowledge being crammed into it.

That's why I stopped halfway through the technical stuff and started rolling. I even hit some of it.

Cinco Teros tomorrow!

I am in a technical face too. Getting smached while thinking of how to do a technique, but I'm not giving up. I trust that doing techniques half speed will help me to learn them. (For now I'm just learning how to start a technique and how it is countered.)

1/12

early:

60 minute upper body stretching.

Remember: slow and smooth; smooth is faster.

Deffley A

Squats: warmup: 45x5, 135x5, 225x3, 245x2; work: 275x3x5

Bench press: warmup: 45x5, 135x5, 155x3, 185x2; work: 235x3x5

Barbell rows: warmup: 95x5, 115x3, 135x2; work: 170x3x5

Hip thrusts: 3x10

Seated good-mornings: 115x3x12

Glute-ham raises: 3x5

Front squat: warmup: 45x5; work: 115x3x5

Stretch: standing/kneeling quads, front/twist/side kick bar stretches, toe touches, chest/tris/bis.

I've really been concentrating on hitting bottom on my squats, and its starting to show. The problem is I'm hitting that weight where I do good-mornings coming out of the hole. Still working on that. Front squat was a nice touch, though, and it felt good to squat weight and keep my body upright.

Deffley B

Dead lift: warmup: 135x5, 225x5, 315x3; work: 325x5x3

Push press: warmup: 45x5, 65x5, 85x3, 115x2; work: 150x5x5

Rack pulls: 370x3x5

I'm really nailing these weights on dead lifts now. I'm getting good lockout at the top, good glute squeezes. The rack pulls are excellent, too. The day after dead lifts, my back feels so good.
