Haven't read through everything, but some of the plans I've read are pretty lol. Good job to everyone else for keeping with it. I'm still cross training jiu-jitsu w/weights and added kettlebells. I've also started a new type of yoga/bodyweight/cardio fusion system called ginastica natural.

Depends. A really skillful guy that weighs not so much against a big ogre with basic skill... I think you know where I'm going. In my experience, with all things set equal (skill, experience, etc). the heavier player has the advantage. However, most heavy guys give up a ton in quickness and fluidity of movement. In BJJ tourneys, guys like Roger Gracie and Xande (heavy players) are dominant in the Absolute Division (no weight restrictions).How much of an advantage is weight when grappling? -
I prefer working from side control against a more skilled opponent because the attacks are endless (and I feel like I have much more control/stabler base) as opposed to the mount, however against a weaker opponent I'll take the mount all day ala Roger Gracie. If you're ever down here in the SD area, we should roll.rolled jits for a while today with a buddy, did some awesome knee on belly work with transitions to and from, think this filled up a big hole in my game as i suck at mount (too light) and really needed something to transition to from side control and north southsubbed him with a wrist lock after starting with him on my back with hooks working position, so stoked as he is miles ahead of me and super strong, one the the best parts of my game is wrist locks as i can spot them all the timework schedule slowing down now so i can start working out more and trying to put back on the muscle i lost over the spring summer, not even sure how much i weigh right now but went climbing the other day and had to cinch up the legs on my harness about 1 inch at least on the legs, the waist i already knew i lost and don't mind, but the legs i need to work or skiing in gonna hurt this winter -
Move to South Korea, kidnap a ton of Asians, create a website, export/sell them off as mail-order brides.

I'm still not sold on the 40 minute thing, although most of my workouts take between 40-50 mins. I found an old bench press form check vid as well as some squat, oh press, and random stuff. Depending on how much people make fun of me and hurt my feelings, I'll post more after weeping (Not really these things take forever to upload). Also, not a brag post. If I wanted to do that I would post vids of me running the 400 in 49 flat in corduroys and squatting 600lbs in flip flops. http://s422.photobucket.com/albums/pp303/l...current=003.flv

Randy,For dips: http://www.nku.edu/~issues/weightlifting/MVC-048S.JPGYou can also put some weighted plates on your lap when it becomes too easy. Have you tried doing planks for an ab exercise?Thanks, that should help. If I have questions I'll get back with you. I also was reading that for my age 48/height 5'8" I should be getting 2200 to 2300 calories a day. Does that sound about right?Okay, I battle with adding weight and form. I will try to up the weight and move down to 12 reps on the exercises and work my way up. I think that is what you are suggesting and makes sense.Also, isn't there dips that I can do off of a bench or something? I'm kinda blanking but it seems I read something. Hmm, off to look at dips. Not you SAL!I also got the bosu thing last night but haven't had time to do anything with it yet. I have been crunched for time so it might not be until this weekend when I can give it a whirl. -
I'm on self-imposed life vacation.

Very solid program, I've used it and the intermediate program with greater success than the standard 3x10 or 3x8 workouts. You might be rethinking that rowing after heavy squatting days, good luck with it though.I've missed about a week of hard workouts due to a groin injury as well as being in Vegas. I made sure to rehab myself there in the best way I could though.I'm either starting Texas this week or looking for a good Oly-hybrid type workout regimen with my jiu-jitsu.Starting Stronglifts 5x5 tonight. Probably going to throw in 20 minutes or so of cardio afterwards - I'm thinking rowing machine. -
Do you ever get your bodyfat percentages?Yay, I weighed in just slightly below 200 lbs this morning for the first time in years. I'm going to see if I can get to 190 by the end of the year. -
The gi I just bought shrunk a full size and fits perfectly now doing what I suggested. I didn't say it was going to be tailor fit, but it should be manageable for training. Grinder,Is it the HCK? Just ship it back. If pants are too huge but the top is right, you can contact the manufacturer directly and place a custom order.lolsorry socal but I doubt that this is going to work if the gi is indeed way too large. -
Wash with warm water, dry on regular heat setting checking every 10-15 mins until its shrunk to fit.I got my gi in the mail today, Bob sapp came over today to borrow it, says it fits perfect -
You can vary your workout by changing the set to rep ratio, decreasing rest time, super setting, etc with the same exercises and still continue to grow and increase your strength. The reason why beginning and intermediate programs like Stronglifts 5x5 work so well while only using a small number of exercises is that it utilizes progressive loading.You are right in thinking that those core exercises should be included in your workout. Don't forget to add Squats and picking up something heavy and lifting it over your head ala OH Press (which in my opinion is superior to bench press).So I have really been liking the workout that I have been doing. However, I read somewhere that you need to vary your workout every 2-4 months. Is this true? And if so, what are some other exercises that should be thrown in and what should be thrown out. My opinion is that no matter what I should always do Pullups, Pushups, Dead Lifts, and when I get strong enough Dips. However, there are tons of exercises that you can do in addition to these. Is this the right thinking? And how often should you vary your workout?Thanks! -
Trained judo today with a black belt from the Kodokan in Japan. Rolled tonight in my normal BJJ class for an hour.I've been keeping up with my 5x5, will post my numbers if people really want me to, otherwise I'm too lazy to open up my spreadsheet and post.

From what fights did you do draw this conclusion? He's a black belt under Minotauro and RNC'd a very tough to submit Dan Henderson. His striking skills are so devastating that his jiu-jitsu becomes secondary and underrated.i've alwasy thought silva was weak on the ground but i don't think forest can take it there with any confidence -
Royce was well past his prime. Having a superior submission wrestling base with a functional knowledge (purple belt level) of jiu-jitsu is preferable in today's MMA (in my opinion)Then everyone learned BJJ, royce had no chance against Matt Huges because their JJ skills were almost even and Matt was a much bigger dude. -
Gooch, Who do you train under?Was in Vegas last week, was still able to get some decent workouts in at the Palazzo. Back to the regular regimen of 5x5 and jiu-jitsu. I'll post my numbers this week.

I use this and find it really comfortable. Def a good investment after you've taken feet to the groin.http://www.budovideos.com/shop/customer/pr...=500&page=1If you decide that you're going to stick with jiu-jitsu also look at picking up some rash guards.Will be starting with the gi. First class is tomorrow evening, if I enjoy it and don't get mangled too hard I'm going to get the unlimited classes for a month, and probably try to do about 3 classes a week, if possible, with an occasional mma class in addition to muay thai/bjj. Dude mentioned that wearing a cup is optional, but for you guys who have rolled quite a bit, what do you think? -
Work on your flexibility, don't have an ego, and just soak up as much as you can. Are you doing gi or no gi?any advice that you wish you had before you started? -
You are not missing out on any thing. You can do this to increase recovery though"Contrast Showers/Baths

Still consistent with my 5x5, just been too lazy or indifferent to post my workouts. I found some form check vids I made a while back on the main lifts in my workout: cleans, squats, OH press, bb row, bench if anyone is interested.

He doesn't really have the power.Honestly Sam, Can't we just send Jack Bauer or Jason Bourne to kill Achmeniblahblahjad or whatever his name is? The evil Jew-hating one. -
Posting Weds/Fri workouts:Wed 5-17No squats on mid-week workout interestingly enough for this portion of the program, even if there were my legs were jello.OH Press3x3x180Deadlift3x3x355Weighted Chins1x3x15lbs1x3x30lbs1x3x45lbsFri 5-19Squats1x3x2651x3x3001x3x330 (New workset PR)Bench3x3x220Cleans3x3x200 TG's1x3x15lb1x3x30lb1x3x45lbWent to JJ 4 times this week, took today off as I was so tired my technique and ability to do anything would have been crap.

Haven't been at the computer too frequently the past few weeks. Still doing the 5x5 and JJ everyday.Started the Volume Phase yesterday: I never post my warm-up sets only my work sets, but those can vary between 2-3 sets. Mon 5-16Squat3x3x305Bench1x3x1901x3x2151x3x235Power Cleans1x3x1701x3x1951x3x215 (I think my third rep was really bad form-wise as this is the heaviest I've ever done w/cleans. I'm going to look for some advice from one of the guys I work out with). Dips1x3x151x3x301x3x45JJ today @6. My hams, quads, and entire lower body are completely sore and it feels like my legs are noodles from the squats. Thinking about varying between box squats and back squats and possibly adding front squats.

Dratj,Three days a week is all you need for strength training. Check out the Texas Method or an Advanced 5x5.

What's up guys? I've been busy with a whole bunch of life things including a prop-bet so that I haven't been able to post in awhile. I've become really bored with the standard free weight routine (5x5, Texas Method) and am making the transition for awhile to kettlebell workouts alongside my jiu-jitsu and other cardio work. Hope everyone is doing well.
