MA training has been great, but my day job has been keeping me busy - I haven't touched a weight in 10 days... I feel small and frail now.

isn't that funny how quick that happens. judgeing by your following workouts you didnt lose anything, but often times preception is stronger than reality. especially where the male ego is concerned. i was really diggin looking athletic until i put on a dress shirt and realized i didnt fill i out quite as well. next day ... squats and milk.

What have you been doing MA wise? Didn't you mention in another thread about a fight maybe in January? Will it be MT?

[SevenStar]

nah, they will be mma. I've been doing MT and will be focusing a lot on my grappling over the coming months, since I have been slacking with it.

one of the two women I started teaching was lifting with me, so I didn't have a chance to do everything I had intended.

didn't have a lot of time, but got the basics:

bench press
135 x 1 x 10
225 x 1 x 5
285 x 3 x 3
225 x 2 x 5
185 x 1 x 10

squats

365 x 1 x 3
405 x 2 x 3
455 x 1 x 2
475 x 1 x 2
315 x 1 x 5

there were several guys and a woman (she's one of the trainers) in the gym. The guys were standing around saying "look at that squat... he's gonna keep putting weight on the bar, wtf??" One of them goes to get the trainer, she looks, shrugs her shoulders and says "eh, I'm used to seeing that. I've been working in gyms for years."

I thought it was hilarious that she reacted the way she did and the guys reacted the way they did. kinda sucked though, cuz I impressed the guys instead of the girl...

455 and 475 for consecutive doubles is no joke man.

[SevenStar]

thanks. I'm trying to boost my numbers slowly but surely.

bench press
135 x 1 x 10
225 x 1 x 5
275 x 2 x 3
295 x 6 x 2

deads
135 x 1 x 10
225 x 1 x 5
315 x 1 x 3
365 x 3 x 3

I had an appointment and had to stop early, so I cut it off there.

[Pork Chop]

one of these days i'm going to look at your numbers and not feel like a little girl.
bout the only thing i can even come close on is deadlift- but it's been a while since i was workin it seriously.
i know i know, no point comparin myself.
but man your numbers are intimidating. hehe

[SevenStar]

that's almost verbatim what I told one of my buddies recently. guys who bench over 400 and squat more than 600. One of them is a freshman in college and cleans 275. I'm like a baby compared to them.
