bushido_man96 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 3/5/2021Strength TrainingSquats: 45x5, 135x5, 165x3, 190x1, 235x5, 235x5, 235x5.Press: 45x5x2, 65x5, 85x3, 117.5x5, 117.5x5, 117.5x5.Deadlifts: 135x5, 165x3, 190x1, 240x5.Consistency is key! It is also time I reread Starting Strength, Basic Barbell Training, and then Practical Programming for Strength Training. I'm sure I've got quite a bit more time left in the novice linear progression here, but brushing up on lift technique and programming won't hurt. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 3/8/2021Strength TrainingSquats: 45x5, 135x5, 165x3, 190x1, 240x5, 240x5, 240x5.Press: 45x5x2, 65x5, 85x3, 120x5, 120x5, 120x5.Deadlifts: 135x5, 165x3, 190x1, 245x5.The squats didn't feel good today, but I didn't feel like I was shifting onto my toes, either, so I'll take that.MA TrainingTKD Class: 6:30 - 7:30 pm. Black Belt Class. Do-Kangs for warmup; 1 three times, and walked a student through 2 a couple of times, at count, so it wasn't overly stressing. After that, we went right into Ho Sin Sul, adding to our drills from last week. It is really getting fun, because the students are having to adjust on the fly at times, which is good for dealing with the chaos of a fight. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 3/10/2021Strength TrainingSquats: 45x5, 135x5, 185x3, 205x1, 245x5, 245x5, 245x5.Press: 45x5x2, 65x5, 95x2, 122.5x5, 122.5x5, 122.5x5.Deadlifts: 135x5, 185x3, 205x1, 250x5.I had to work a mid shift today, so I had to get into the gym earlier this morning, and also had to miss class tonight. The squats....man, they were a grind. Deadlift was grindy, too, but I felt like I kept good position with the bar on each rep, staying on the shins up the leg. Although grindy, lockout also felt good. Maybe this could have been a result of working out earlier in the morning than I have been, but I'm not sure. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the ups and downs, you still do what you need to do. Thank you, Brian!!Thank you, Bob! I really appreciate it. Most of my workouts are pretty solo (my youngest is usually on his phone when I'm working out), so getting outside motivation is very nice.3/12/2021Strength TrainingSquats: 45x5, 135x5, 185x3, 205x1, 250x5, 250x5, 250x5.Press: 45x5x2, 75x5, 95x3, 125x5, 125x5, 125x5.Deadlifts: 135x5, 185x3, 205x1, 225x1, 255x5.Sleep wasn't great the past two nights, so I was worried about today's session. Turned out ok. Deadlifts got away from me a little bit, but I got it done. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last one is always a grind out of the hole. Last rep of deadlift floated away, but still completed the rep. I've ordered some creatine monohydrate, which should arrive sometime this week. I'm interested to see how that affects things over the long haul. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 3/22/2021So, some backstory to lead up to this day. After my last training session, on 3/17, I had a procedure scheduled that forced me to fast for the rest of that Wednesday (so I only had breakfast), and then had nothing by mouth after 8:30 am the following day, Thursday. I also had to have two doses of a medicine that basically gave me the runs to clean me out for this procedure. So, to sum that all up, terribly hungry and dehydrated, and then sedated on Thursday, and then too much busy stuff going on at work on Friday to make that training day.Squats: 45x5, 135x5, 185x3, 235x5, 235x5, 235x5.Press: 45x5x2, 75x5, 95x2, 115x5, 115x5, 115x5.Deadlifts: 135x5, 185x3, 205x1, 225x1, 240x5.I did a 10 percent deload, and honestly, it might not have been enough. Everything was hard, but I did complete all my sets and reps. Hoping Wednesday feels better.MA TrainingTKD Class: 6:30 - 7:30 pm. Black Belt Class. Warmed up with Do-Kangs 1-4, moved to three-steps, and then spent about the last 20 minutes of class on more Ho Sin Sul. We moved into some kick defenses using some sweeps and takedowns. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I spent a half hour going through all colored belt forms and one-steps, and also did Kwang Gae, Poe Eun, and Gae Baek. Finished with a good stretch that felt really nice. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
