Rootabagers New Log

[Rootabager]

So I got bored with my last log but I have started doing some new stuff so I will start to post a log.

I started taking MMA classes a little while ago and they are tough. I have reduced my lifting because of how much time I have been takingn boxing, muay thai,and BJJ.

I still have been lifting around 3 times a week in the mornings.

I will do the whole week in this post because this is what a average week will consist of.

Since the last log I have went from 220 to 200. I feel alot better being leaner and really like the weight loss. I would like to lose around another 10 pounds.

Monday
Squat 5X5 around 250

Pullups- I superset these with squats.
warm up 20 pull ups
12 clap pull ups
12 weighted pull ups
end with doing as many pull ups as I can do.

Bench
5X5 250-275

bent over row
5X5 175

dips on rings
4X12

One arm row
3X10 with 100's

Everything is supersetted.

BJJ class- 1 hour
Muay Thai- 1 hour

Tuesday-
Boxing class- 2 hours

First hour is boxing drills and cardio
Second hour is sparring.

Wendsday-
Cleans- did sets of 3 up to 225 where I did one rep. That is prolly close to my max.

kettlebell swings - 3 sets to failure
kettlebell snatch- 3 sets on each arm to failure

Standing shoulder press- 3 sets of 8-10

BJJ class- 1 hour
Mua Thai- 1 hour

Thursday-
Went to gym early because cant do boxing( Gf's b-day today)

Jump rope for a few minutes then stopped and did kettlebell swings with the 70 pounder( biggest they have at MMA gym).

Jump rope alternate with kettlebell snatch 70 pound kettlebell.

Hit Semi Tire with sledge hammer alternated with rope climb.

Jumped in and out of truck tire alternated with low bag kicks.

punched the bag some

did like cling type thing where I flipped the truck tire over strong man style in a square around the room.

Then I did lunges around the room with 2 54 pound kettlebells.

punched the bag some more then went home.

damn you're a beast! nice log. im a similar size to you, except i just went from being 230 to being 210, with only about 5 more pounds to lose.

sets of 12 on ring dips is great, i just got some rings from ring training, and the first time i tried them, i got 3 reps! its one of those exercises that until you try it you have NO idea how hard it is. 2 other guys in the gym tried it, one couldnt even do one, and the other guy struggled to get one rep, after 2 workouts im up to 8 reps though. my squat numbers are quite a bit higher than yours, but you definitely have me on pull ups. i recently got a 53 lb kettlebell, im scared of someone who can throw the 70 pounder around, i was worried the 53 would be too light, wrong(i want to use it for conditioning mostly)

look forward to seeing more of this log
