Great job and man I hate when the bar feels heavy! I'm going to get back to some grappling this Sat. I think, I miss it but know it works your ass! :)

That must be why my ass is so big! It is all muscle but man I could make it as a gorilla LOL

aw man I feel you brother. rest up no reason to have a hang over work out they can do more damage then good

I was not hung over man LOL I do not drink anything but water and almond milk! My body was just worn completely out and not recovering due to it.

Wow, some great work in here, keep this up!

Thanks man glad to have you along!

Decided to take today off as well. I feel much better now as far as energy but because my body was repairing so much my hams and a groin tendon still seem not so happy so figured a day off squats should give it the time it needs to fully heal. So jiu jitsu tonight then cardio tomorrow then I take sun off. Mon I will start the onslaught again!

what do you think the issue is? Training or the MMA stuff? I know when I would grapple, I had a hard time recovering...

I think it may be a combination of both I train hard as hell then add jiu jitsu 3-4 times per week and teaching kids jiu jitsu 3 times per week and cardio well i may have burnt out. This week off should recharge me if that is the case and I will have to figure out a way to juggle them both maybe switch intensity on a week off a week or something. I normally get a deload every 4 weeks and after my meet I did not take one which is probably the reason I burnt out that and I am old LOL

wow, that's a busy schedule! You did burn out, we can only do so much! I'm sure the week off will help, but you might want to change things a little like you said or it will happen again :(

This makes good sense I mean the people I know that are on the mat as much as me don't lift or at least not like I do. I guess that 400x13 deadlifts last week might have finished the recovery off and brought me into total burn out..... I will figure out how to make it all work just have to have a good plan!

I took video of the 170 set but my internet was screwy this morning at home and I did not have time to fix it. Looks like the week off was what I needed, I pushed hard but tried not to overdo it. Put in less volume that I normally do was thinking about also doing Kroc rows that is where I decided to hold back! Time to get back to work!

Looks to me you can be hitting 225 on shoulders with ease! Keep it up!
