Log of Hoffmeister!

[hoffmeister]

My new log. This is for my strength training only, no MA or football will be mentioned.

My goal for 1 Jan 2009 is:
12 pull ups
15 dips
1 x bw bench
1,5 x bw squat
2 x bw deadlift

At the moment I have an shoulder injury and my knee isn't very stable but I'm seeing a physio therapist on monday. By back has been sore but I have been able to deadlift 2 times now without problems, so I guess I can start a 5x5 routine soon.

My plan for the pull ups is doing 2 at least 3 times a day the first week, then 3 a week, then 4 a week etc.

Benching, my achilles heel, hasn't improved in about two years. My plan is Joe terribles terrible bench routine (thanks JP). 3 weeks of 8 reps with progression, 3 weeks of 5 reps, 3 weeks of 2 reps, max out. (I think).

The problem is that I probably will have one strenght session a week. So wish me luck...

good luck with it mate.

Would be interesting to get some mention of your other sports as well tho, if nothing else, to see what kind of stress and damage you have been doing during the week.

I wrote a thread about that bench press routine here:
http://www.veganfitness.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13094

you have it roughly right, but there is wee bit more to it.

Will be interesting to see how you will find it. I hope you will smash your PB and crush your enemies.

Ok, I'll mention the other sports as well, but in that case I have to rename the log, this is what we get for bringing the potatoes for the Fins.

Tried some mma-wrestling with some comrades. My shoulder is still fucked up so I couldn't really go in for it, but ground and ound was, ehh, interesting.

[hoffmeister]

First I was at the physio therapist. I have an irritation in my shoulder and can't really do any pressing or anything else that hurts. It wasn't so bad and will probably pass in a couple of weeks. The knee problem wasn't dangerous at all but if I want to have an optimal knee I have to do rehab and don't go down low at all while I squat for 3-6 month. I also need new inlay soles.

My lower trapezius is something I need to work more with according to the physio therapist. So I went to the gym.

First three sets of each
Lats pulldowns
sitting row
dumbell row

Then I wanted to do some squats and did 2 sets of 8 on 50. When I was about to start the 5 x 5 on 70. I imediatly got a pain in my lower back. So I had to quit it. I feel like I am about 65 because of all the injuries. I did some core, arms stuff to feel better.

After that I trained ju jutsu for 90 minutes. That was great, me and a friend got private lessons from some black belt.

[hoffmeister]

Was at the boxing and helped a bunch of beginners. Did some cardio and core stuff. My shoulder is the same.

This is the second day of my threes at the pull ups, and it is actually not so easy.

[hoffmeister]

Ju jutsu lesson for one hour. We learned to fall properly.

[hoffmeister]

Was at a crapy gym and did some back training, mostly lower traps. Seated rows, face pulls, dumbell rows etc. Also some lats pulldowns and side bends. I consider it rehab training so the weights aren't so important. The only thing worth mentioning was the power cleans. 2 x 5 x 40 - 2 x 3 x 50 - 2 x 3 x 60

[hoffmeister]

Did Ju-jutsu today. It was lots of fun. I like the newaza best, its the grappling part of it. '

I also forgot to write about my mma training the 29th with the comrades. Did some kicking, well needed.

Also my week of four pull ups a time started this week.

My shoulder isn't really getting better.

[XkillerX]

shouldnt you be doing physio therapy at least 4x a week instead of fighting until your shoulder gets better?

[hoffmeister]

I'm taking it really easy and am not doing push ups or similar. So its mainly technique stuff.
