I have been half assing it for too long now and telling myself it was ok.
no one warned me how hard it is to stay motivated about your own workouts once you start working at a gym.
I'm starting a log on here cause I need some accountability, some criticism and the occasional smack on the back of the head.
Off to the gym
here comes day one

yeah that is what I try to do but the "I'm already here so I might as well work out" attitude doesn't really lend itself to intensity
you are totally right though, consistency is key. any workout is better than no workout, except on rest days of course

very true about the intensity, i usually dont have a problem with it after i get going except on those days when i didnt get enough sleep. |

for the record, that's pretty good on the box jumps. i used to do those a lot, until i raked my shin missing the box and quite literally started tearing up in the eyes.

I know what you mean magoo. I try to stick to the most difficult hight I know I can hit and I only move up when I'm really confident.
Haha, well I guess that is true with any lift but I'm more likely to go for broke on a squat or a bench where a rack or a spotter can help you out
I'm really focusing on power production for my wrestling right now, thats why I mix in ball squats and bosu lunges too. I need that stability to put the power from my legs to use in a live situation.

5 minutes jump rope
2x3 minutes shadow boxing

The training focus wasn't one me today we were rotating in every half round on my training partner who has a fight on the first. Still, I felt really good today even though my grip is still a little sore from sunday.

your workouts seem INCREDIBLY brief. have you been on this protocol very long?

I keep it pretty short. 4 or 5 exercises and about 25 to 30 total reps of each so like 5x5 or 3x10
all the lifts i do are in addition to wrestling, jiu jitsu and kickboxing. If I do too much I can slip into over training really quickly
I also have trouble keeping up my intensity for much longer than that. I am starting to build some momentum and it is getting easier now

ahhhh. well that makes more sense. if you're doing that kinda shit, then trying to pull off big-time weight sessions would just be suicidal. how long you been doing the MMA stuff? |

We have got these balls that are made out of basically the same stuff as a foam roller. larger than a soft ball but smaller than a volley ball. I grip one with each hand and do push ups. they are unstable and the foam absorbs some of your force so it make the push ups harder. It feels better on my wrist than regular push ups too.

todays work out was kind lame. My boss made me work out with him and do his work out... he cant work out alone, he need motivators
30 sec. each of "perfect" push ups, rest, pull ups, rest, kettle bell swings, rest
we did that five times through then
1 min each of Sledge hammering a tire, rest, kettle bell press, rest, hang cleans, rest
five times through
"perfect" push ups are those spinning handles you seen on infomercials at two in the morning

i thought that work out was bull shit but my traps are killing me today.
Oh and to answer some of the earlier questions. I've been wrestling for about 9 or 10 years, kickboxing for a little over 4 years and doing jiu jitsu on and off for the last three.
