Ouch!

Anyway for arguments sake were you not enjoying training when you were getting stronger and consistantly leaner following Will's programming? I'm only saying this because it was (from what I can tell from your log here and on TT) the most successful period of your training so far by a country mile. I don't understand why you wouldn't stick at it, if you have the time to train every day you could quite easily just add the rep sessions in and train 6 days a week.

Inspector Coptoor

yeah, that's them

Id agree with you there but the thing is, if you look at what Ive been doing lately, it's not all that different from what I was doing in IP.

My warm ups are variations and amalgamations of all the IP warm ups.

Im squatting, deadlifting, benching, pressing, doing single leg work, lateral core, rotational core etc during strength workouts and Im still doing con blocks and work blocks in con sessions.

I put on a couple of kgs recently but thats cause I was busy with school and couldn't train as much as I wanted too and didn't do that much conditioning.

I'm on summer holidays now and Ill be getting as much training in as possible.
I have new toys to play with in Ironside every now and again, I want to practice my olympic lifts a bit over the summer cause Im gonna be coaching those lifts in September and I can see how some people might think my training looks a little unstructured but tbh, I dont care cause Im still doing the important stuff, or at least what I consider to be important, and Im having fun too.

Well test isn't all that different from oestrogen but the end product can be pretty different.

Warming up is warming up I wasn't really talking about that at all.

Im squatting, deadlifting, benching, pressing, doing single leg work, lateral core, rotational core etc during strength workouts and Im still doing con blocks and work blocks in con sessions.

Why are you doing it differently then?

I put on a couple of kgs recently but thats cause I was busy with school and couldn't train as much as I wanted too and didn't do that much conditioning.

I still think you're pretty

I'm on summer holidays now and Ill be getting as much training in as possible while.

Lets use a metaphor, since teachers love that stuff. Assume training is sh*t... you can sh*t every day, thats fine, but if you decide all of a sudden to sh*t twice a day all you're left with is twice as much sh*t. More isnt necessarily better. I assume I get an A+

I have new toys to play with in Ironside every now and again, I want to practice my olympic lifts a bit over the summer cause Im gonna be coaching those lifts in September and I can see how some people might think my training looks a little unstructured but tbh, I dont care cause Im still doing the important stuff, or at least what I consider to be important, and Im having fun too

Justify it to yourself all you want, its your training and I hope it goes well, but in a few months time when there's been lots of training and f*ck all actual progress we can discuss it again.

Just thought I'd chime in.


In your conditioning work blocks you've got a strange mix of exercises. Think less "what can I fling in here that will be hard" and more "what template should I follow". If you're looking for a systematic conditioning effect you should have a push, a pull, and a lower body dominant exercise.

Yes your training looks mental. Mental. But I'm sure you have a plan...

Inspector Coptoor

Input appreciated Barry.
Yes, I have a plan.
You stick to the bjj

I have a question..no i haven't developed actual feelings and/or give a crap about your training..its your training...

but why don't you roll any more?

Oh okay, I get it. I'll stick to the BJJ and you stick to the... eh... em...

I'm sure my advice was ****, what would I know?

Da Za

Lama,

I know your just having fun with your training atm and you want to get accustomed to various exercises for various reasons which I know.

But why not have a structered plan while having fun. Improving at the specific exercises will make it more fun. You'll be in a better position to showcase them.

You need a plan and goals to get from A to B.

I personally can't train without a plan, I wouldn't have fun..........everything has to be quantifiable and accountable!!!

You know what I'm saying and I know you're just having fun atm!!

I'm pretty sure I was still drunk from last night when I wrote that this morning & looking at it now, I have no clue what the last line was meant to mean so apologies for any offense Barry.

I do take your point on the work blocks and the last couple have been like that, ie squat variation, db press, db row sort of thing. I'll structure them better with that in mind in the future..

I don't have anywhere to do it anymore and I find it very very tough on the body, esp my dodgy right knee & ankle.

Good work on making the video private so no one could see it.

You should try pause squats.

I had someone in a paused guard before transitioning to a paused arm bar today.
