DAMAGE:Hip, biceps

NOTES: Deadlift party day today. Dead lift + acc training starts today. I won’t be trying lifting 1RM every week. I’ll do this every couple of weeks. Keep the volume up on those days and bring up the lower weights. Try to keep it about 80% of 1rm’s on working sets then the week after max reps at 90-100% 1RMs. Smallish session today but it felt good.

NOTES: Only way to describe the way i feel right now is utter crap. Copping a high amount of pain from my hip/glute at the moment which i am going to need physio on for sure now I’m getting an appointment for Monday even walking is a pain at the moment and sitting too long. Just about everything else is feeling tight or tired. I was hoping the deload last week would help out with the stalls and slight fall backs of the last couple of weeks on some lifts. I did some calculations and i have not had anything over 5 days off in row for at least 18 weeks. I did a 3 day break in February. So if things don’t pick up by the end of the week i might have a week off. I am still playing around with next routine and phase. Triceps were the only thing feeling ok today so i smashed them.

Figured I better move the motivational stuff to a new site so you guys don’t need to go through my old workouts to find them.
I am also going to move this site into a fight related site with more videos on training and techniques and workouts.
So i will be transitioning everything into separate sites. My training blog, fight stuff and motivational stuff.

How to Adopt an All Or Nothing Attitude (And How It Can Level Up Your Life) –  April 16 by Paul Jun

There comes a point in life where your back is against the wall, options are running low…and you have to act — it’s now or never.You’ve been slacking, putting things on hold that are high priority, and following your passion just seems like a hopeless dream.I was in this situation a few years ago: I was a failing college student with no passions, goals, or any idea of where I was heading.

That’s when I decided to adopt an “All Or Nothing” attitude.
