Rob T's Training Log

Robert T · 30-04-2011 9:18pm #1

I used to train in IP but am currently gymless. Going to copy over my log from IP’s forum so that all my training data is in one place.
I’m 25 year old male, 93kg and probably about 30% BF.
Not sure if the 93kg is exact as it’s a bathroom scales but it’s hopefully not too far off.
At the minute my training is mostly in back garden using kettlebells to get some IP type conditioning blocks done.
At the minute don’t really have a training plan, but that’s going to change shortly.

BJJ (No GI) Evening Class

Found the warm up very tough, not sure if this was because I trained already that morning or because it was tough.

Over an hour of drilling maintaining side control.

Robert T · 30-04-2011 9:27pm

Monday 13/12/10

S1 I13

2 rounds of warm up

Speed Deads

Warmed up with 40kg

60kg 8x3 with a minute recovery between each set. don't think I wasn't going fast enough on these when coming up from the bottom but my back was rounding when I tried to go faster.

Elevated split squats

4 x 8 reps each side - HELL

Hanging Leg Raise

3 x 10 reps. Each set was broken up into reps of 3 or 4 as the Tendonitis kicked up big time in my hands. Not sure if this is because of the cold or because I done deadlifting before hand. First time that the Tendonitis has effected me since I started to train in IP.

40kg x 5
45kg x 2x5

Robert T · 30-04-2011 9:29pm

Weds 16/12/10

Half of C2 I13

Only did half as only had a few mins between my two tutorials.

Two rounds of IP warm up

Prowler 10' block

110kg 2 pushes

dropped down as those 2 pushes killed me

4 more pushes at 90kg

Strength block 15'

Reverse lunges with 10kg
push ups 5
pull ups 5 with both legs in grey band

only got 4 rounds

the push ups slowed me down loads. Got 5 in the first two rounds, after that had to stop after every rep and reset as I was just getting stuck at the bottom.

By far the worst session I've put in, reckon this is a combination of the lack of sleep over last few nights and also bad doms from the strenth session on Monday.

Robert T · 30-04-2011 9:30pm

31/12/2010

Did C1 (well as much as I could with no equipment)

10' of pushing car up and down driveway. The initial push was much heavier than the prowler but after that momentum took over each time and made it easy.

15' workblock of box jumps (using the bench as the box); 10kg dbell floor press; and 16kg kbell one arm unsupported rows. 5 of each and 6 rounds

10' - back to pushing the car. Did 10 lengths in the 10 mins. Took about 45 seconds to do a length each time.

All exams over, two weeks off now so plenty of training shall be done.

About 90 mins of BJJ this morning. Lukas went over Cyborg's Shoulder Guard, then some rolling and then Grant drilled some side control escapes with me. I really need to start drilling escapes more!

Robert T · 30-04-2011 9:44pm

4 April 2011

2 hours of BJJ tonight, one hour of Butterfly guard techniques and then completing the pass once swept, followed by 5 min rounds. Think there was about 8.

Need to add mount escapes and tucking my chin to avoid guillotines to the very long list of things that I need to work hard on.

Felt a bad strain in my groin once I got home so hopefully that doesn't act up tomorrow or anything! Tonight was def worth the 3 hour round trip!

Hopefully up again in the morning for some more.

Robert T · 30-04-2011 9:45pm

I know have a program so all that's left now is for me to implement it I suppose.

10 May 2011

Conditioning

Warm Up x 3

Reverse Lunges 5&5 12kg KB
12kg KB Press 5&5
12kg KB Row 5&5

Got 7 rounds plus the lunges, think the 12kg on the lunges might have been too heavy as they were very tough and quads are sore today!

12kg KB Goblet Squat x 10
12kg KB Upright Row x 10
2 x 12kg KB Press x 10

The Upright Row was pretty easy, the presses were very tough especially after doing them one handed in the first block.

Got 5 and the squats.

Then did some static stretching.

Started to sort my diet out this week aswell. Working off guides I found on Lyle McD's website I'm aiming for 2,400 kcal per day with 150 grams of protein.

Might start logging my daily calorie intake.

Robert T · 13-05-2011 9:21am

Thursday 12 May 2011

Long day in work with little food meant I was exhausted before starting this.

C2

15' workblock
12kg KB Potato Sack Squats x10
Push ups x 5
Sit Ups x 10

Got 6 in the 15 mins. Was very disappointed with this number. I'm going to put it down to being tired after 15 hours in work. The potato sack squats seemed too light.

15' workblock
Turkish get ups 8kg KB x 5/5
12kg KB Sumos x 10

Only got 3. Disgusted with that. The get ups took forever. Felt light I needed 30 seconds of a breather after each rep.

Next time will try and get some food into me before I leave work so that I'm not starving and exhausted all the way through.

Bar x 10
9kg x 10
13.6kg x 10

22.6kg x 10

Probably started out too light on this as I didn't really start to feel it until later sets, was my first time to do this though.

Overreached on first set and was burnt out for next two.

Never did these before and think I was arching too much in my lower back because I really started to feel it too much there in the last few sets. Shocked I struggled with that weight considering I do use 2 x 12kg kettlbells in some of the workblocks for presses.

No training for 7 days because work was mental! Should be back to normal working hours for next while anyway.

Monday 23 May 2011 - Conditioning

Felt good to be doing something again after a week sitting in front of a PC.

4 June 2011

Weighed myself this morning, gone up to 95kg. Hours keep getting worse in work which is causing the lack of training. Kcal intake is around 2000 per day on average which isn't leaving me with much energy in the evening.
