man dave! im so happy for you, but if you get to 185 that would be sick, i think last time i saw you i was 185!

2 days out from this tournament i feel pretty good, weight is where i wanna be strength is a little bit low, but good...

45 min on the treadmill is all my legs had today...

Tried to make Gerry proud again today with a heavy shoulder and trap workout. After that went to the doc and got some meds to get me healthy by Shack time.

2 days....kick arse, My Brother! :-)

Skipped the sled last night and instead did a second shoulder workout. My shoulders were on fire.

made weight...

lost to the 1st guy :-)

back to the drawing board...

chest and tris tonihgt...

BJJ Tourny?

yup

Sorry, Brother, but whatever doesn't kill you will serve to make you stronger. :-)

One more workout tomorrow, then 5 days of R&R. I feel good, but I am sure the body could use the break.

Nice bro, I saw you said you were sparring, are you doing MMA?
Do you do Gi?
I was training MMA for about a year and sprained my hand pretty bad so I stayed with BJJ for a while and never really went back to striking. I have been taking sometime off from BJJ for a few reasons but I really miss it.

I really hated compititions, soo much nervousness for a few minutes of work.
I competed in three, lost my first match twice by 2 points and finished second once. I hate spending the whole day waiting to compete and then losing the first match blows.

i train mostly gi and i totally feel you being in that bullpen foe hours sucks so bad...

planning on switching things up cuz of this 10k i do every year...


planning on running 4-5miles in the am: mon, wed, fri

sprint work: tues and thursay

training bjj: sun, mon, tuesday, thurs, sat afternoons

weight training: sun, mon, wed, thurs, fri

looks like mondays are gonna suck :-)

Another reason for "Ugh Monday".

Had my last workout before Shack this morning, did some legs, chest, and a shitload of pull-ups. 5 days off when I don't really want them?...Good for the mind, good for the body.

Too bad you couldn't go farther in the tourney, Gerry. Just motivation to do better next time :-)

Been doing my normal workouts plus a second workout for a bunch of days. Thinking I over did it in preperation for days off for Shack. Might just do a lighter workout.

I have been going to the gym 4-5x/week. So far, I have lost 12 pounds. How many minutes of cardio do you all do?

Now, 3x/week for about 45 minutes. Typically get my average heart rate into the 75-80% of max for the duration. I also do 5-10 minutes of light cardio to warm-up on weight days.

got my 4 mile run in...

Man, I haven't been on this forum in what feels like years...

Last time I was on here, I'd lost a little weight from my starting point of 315, as I intended to join the Marines. Today I'm down to 185lbs, and a US Army Infantryman, stationed in Germany.

I don't know how I ever fell out of checking this place on a daily basis, but it felt good to log in, and see that this thread is still here. I turn 25 today, and am planning on having my first cigar since Christmas '10. A Cohiba robusto I picked up last weekend in Amberg.

Keep lifting hard, and you'll be seeing more of me around these parts now.

Also, have any of you tried Animal Rage yet?

Congrats on your amazing progress, Adam. :-)

3 mile run...

was watching old rugby games all yesterday... i need wheels like those guys!

tonight BJJ, Chest and Tris...

Back to the gym today after 5 days off with some hard drinking included.

Got on the scale and had lost 10 pounds at Shack....Liquor musta killed my appetite. :-)

A tad sluggish but a decent workout today. Hockey (playoff) game tonight, so food and rest for the next few hours.
