Training Log: Entry 293

DE upper body lift:
8 sets of triples at 155lbs

Note: Not feeling as explosive as I used to, but tooled around with pulling the bar apart and exploding upward from a dead pause.  Hopefully not losing any progress on this.

Close grip bench of 185lbs
10,8,6,5

Note: This was real easy at first, but I found it really hard to pull the bar apart.  I should rest more between sets.

Tricep pushdown w/straight bar
165-9,8,7
145-8

Note: Feeling a little burned on this.  Didn't want some crappy reps at failure.  Still, had some power in this.

Lateral raise
10X25
11X20
10X20

Note: Form was getting a little bad at the end of 25, so I'm going to work up to 3 sets of 12 at 20 instead.

Lat pulldown
8X120, 8X120, 8X110, 8X110

Note: Was running out of time, and couldn't split up my pull-ups the way I wanted, so I stuck with the machine just so I could get the reps out there.  Minor shoulder inflexibility means I can't pull all the way down to the chest.

Hammer curls of 20lbs
10, 8, 9

Note: Finally improving on this.  Less failure, more power.

MMA club meeting:

Nothing too significant here.  Trained the new boxer on evading wild hooks.  Taught the WC guy how to slip, bob and weave, and face punches.  Drilled some focus mitts with a new guy (MMA guy).  I need to relax more when I throw.  My traps were bothering me.

Need to spar more.
