    Hey man. It's definitely worth it. It makes a world of difference in terms of helping recovery and loosening yourself up. I'll check out your log.

    Haha I was googling tips on my new position they are testing me out on when I found that video and gave it a shot. It's a pretty good test of core strength, especially since it's in a position that we tend to be in pretty often in our games.

    The season is going well! We are 3-0 right now. Also, I found out our team is officially moved up to Division 2 now, which is great, because there was talk of keeping us in Division 3 for another season which pissed us off. This weekend we are playing a Division 1 team so that will pretty much be our biggest game this spring.

    How's training going? How's the new house?

    That scrum master test is alot harder than it looks. i just gave it a quick try in the house, it's a good variant on a stability ball plank and it'll be good for practicing getting twisted in the scrums.

    The in-season stuff is looks good, the cleans work especially id kill to be able to clean over 100kg, 225 for a double is good stuff.

    and as much as i love dips, there are allways the first thing to get droped when i have any upperbody niggles.
    people ask me how to train, and i answer "i look at what you do and then i do the exact oposite"


    if your family was captured and you were told you needed to put 100 pounds onto your max squat within two months or your family would be executed, would you squat once per week? Something tells me that you'd start squatting every day

    That's a good point about the scrummaster helping with getting twisted in the scrums. Definitely going to keep it in.

    Thanks! I want to add more clean work into these. Just trying to keep it short and sweet since we're in a group. We always take out dips if anyone's having shoulder issues.

    4/18/12

    Warmup:
    Upperbody Soft Tissue work with Lacrosse Pall
    Foam Roller
    Walking Spiderman + Lift and Reach
    Single Leg RDLs
    Band Pullaparts
    Shoulder Dislocations with Band

    I really had to roll out my chest and upperback with the lacrosse ball. I still have a small knot in my right pec that's inhibiting some ROM in my right arm.

    Workout:
    Squat

    135x5 210x3 235x3 255x3x8
    Decided not to go farther than 8 this time around. I've been feeling pretty tired lately.

    Incline Bench Press
    165x3 175x3 200x5

    Romanian Deadlift
    225x15 225x10 225x12
    Grip was a limiting factor on these.

    Swiss Ball Crunches with Medicine Ball Overhead
    12lbsx2x20 14lbsx20

    Scrummaster Test
    20sx2.
    Just did these to show them to one of the guys on the team. It's hard because the swiss balls at the gym are not properly inflated.

    that's sweet!!! D-2!!!!

    Training is going very well! I am making sure to eat a lot more and I think it's helping And best part of it, is that I honestly feel I also look better.

    House is coming along...slowly

    I am hoping to officially close ~Mid-May...but our bank is seemingly delaying everything!

    Glad to hear it! I actually had to step up my eating recently and I think it's having a better effect on my recovery and training as well.

    Hope everything works out with the house. I know that can take a while. One of my coworkers is going through the same thing.

    yep...something I overlooked in my past (eating)...but paying huge dividends now.

    And yeah...it's a slow painful process, and my wife and I just want to move in...lol

    4/25/12

    Warmup:
    Foam Roller
    Walking Spiderman + Lift and Reach
    Bodyweight Squats
    Shoulder Dislocations
    Band Pullaparts
    Single Leg RDLs

    Workout:
    Deadlift

    290x3 325x3 350x2x8 350x10
    First set of 350 was rough, but the 2nd and 3rd set were much easier.

    Close Grip Bench Press
    170x3 190x3 215x6 135x16
    I liked doing the high rep low weight set at the end. I might add these into to my week 2 and week 3 of my 5/3/1 assistance lifts.

    Good Mornings
    135x3x16
    Normally I can hit 20 reps for each of these, but my posterior chain has taken a beating.

    Leg Raises
    BWx2x20 BWx16

    Band Tricep Pulldowns
    30 reps
    Did these because my elbow was hurting. I hyperextended it this past saturday.

    looking good... i love the finishing sets after the low rep work...

    think ideally assuming not too high volume i would do -

    work to 100%
    90%+ double
    90%+ double
    90%+ double
    70% x20

    assuming feeling good on the day...

    good to see you got some extra reps in on that last set. looked like you where stalling a bit with the squats an press. How are you finding the 2nd cycle of TJM, i'm looking forward to getting it up and running again when i'm back in the gym.

    high rep finishers are great, i did them last time i was in the gym. i'm going to go back to doing them, strength work with finishers for me, i just hate hypertrophy work.
    people ask me how to train, and i answer "i look at what you do and then i do the exact oposite"


    if your family was captured and you were told you needed to put 100 pounds onto your max squat within two months or your family would be executed, would you squat once per week? Something tells me that you'd start squatting every day

    I really like that set up actually. I may have to set up my program for something like that.

    Yeah I seem to be just evening out with the lowerbody work lately. I'm not really sure what's up with that. I was glad I got more. The 2nd cycle is a little rough. It may be because the sheet i'm using did not use a conservative estimate for my new maxs. I think what helps right now is that I have the 5/3/1 lifts in there as well, so if I'm not doing as well in my TJM lifts, but do well in my 5/3/1 lifts, i'm still making some kind of progress.

    4/30/12

    Was on a road trip to Maryland this weekend. Played a tournament at a Celtic Festival. Didn't really like the format. It was four 25 minute games. I don't really like that. I think it should have been two 15 minute halves or they should have just made it a 10's tournament. One period just leads to balls to the wall ****ty playing. We went 2-1-1. We were 3rd. I played tighhead prop for the first 2 games, then down to lock. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I love lock after playing prop haha.

    BACK TO REALITY!!!


    Bench and Deficit Deadlift

    Warmup:
    Foam Roller
    Walking Spiderman + Lift and Reach
    Static Hip Stretch + Glute Contraction
    Short Band Side Steps
    Monster Walk with Short Band
    Lying Straight Arm Pullovers with 10lb bar
    Standing Band Pullaparts
    Bent Over Band Pullaparts
    Shoulder Dislocations
    Single Leg RDLs

    Workout:

    Bench Press
    145x5 175x3 200x2 215x1 230x8 230x5 135x20
    Pissed I didn't hit 230 for at least 10. Might have been from partying too much this weekend.

    Deficit Trap Bar Deadlifts
    300x5 350x3 390x6 225x15
    Happy with 390x6. Might have been able to squeeze out 1 or 2 more but didn't want to push myself too much.

    Pullups
    BWx15 BWx7 BWx5
    I was gassed out after the first set. I think I need to work on total volume.

    Superset
    1A Dips BWx15 BWx12 BWx10
    1B Leg Raises BWx3x15
    Dips were rough. Might have burnt out my triceps with benching.

    Height is a commodity in the rugby community here haha. I actually lock next to a guy who is quite a bit taller than me. They throw me in the tight 5 because I'm one of the few guys on the team who can scrum all day and still run all over the field. It's sort of an honor/punishment for my endurance.

    Yeah it might be a good idea for me to start scaling back my reps and adding more sets for the moment.

    nice hungover work. alot of my inseason work gets like that. when i'm hungover in the gym just being in the gym is often then achievement for me and i tend to focus on one lift and if it takes twice as long as i get nothing else done than so be it.

    if find i'm the same with the pull ups if i goto failure for 1 or 2 sets the amount of reps drops rapidly. if you can do 15 then i reckon you can bang out sets of 10/8 pretty easily.
    people ask me how to train, and i answer "i look at what you do and then i do the exact oposite"

    Yeah my teammates skipped the gym on monday, and most skipped out on practice tuesday. we had to run 7s because of the amount of people who made it. i'm going to try to bang out more sets of 10 for the time being.
