Sporadic Lifting Part 1

Machine horiz. rowing: 150lbs x8 reps x2 sets, 150lbs x5 reps
Overhead Press: 120lbs x5 reps
Incline Press: 155lbs x5 reps, 155lbs x4 reps
Pull -ups 25lbs x5 reps x2 sets, 30lbs x5 reps
Dips: bdw x 17 reps

Ankle isn't too much better. I haven't been taking care of it though...I'm going to buy cissus and fish oil tomorrow. I stopped the OP b/c I remembered about my ankle, I'll do seated OP instead. That should get my numbers up.

Today is 2.5-3.5 hrs of BJJ, depending on if I get to do the advanced class or not. Next week is spring break, so I'm probably not going to lift, or if I do, it will be for 10 reps or something and only 2 sets, again, just 1x/ week. That's because I'll be training BJJ hopefully 2x a day, or at least every day.

I'm poor, I need more money...I wish my ankle would heal so I can actually get bigger with deadlifts and squats, I want a big yoke...

Time is also really tight, which is why I don't train more...

I did train last week, the only memorable lift was Incline Press of 165lbs x5. But I hadn't done OP before that, and I ramped up to a max lift. I'm kind of confused on the rep scheme of lifting once a week, but as long as numbers go up, I don't think it matters. I'll stick to 3x5's for now. Hopefully my ankle heals soon...

  1. Good to see you back Aaron. Since BJJ seems to be taking so much of your time, you might want to think about planning a dedicated 1x or 2x per week training program, even something as simple as just squatting/benching and deadlifting/military pressing. That shouldn't take too much time, and at your level, you should be able to maintain or even gain strength. At the very least, if you're going to be in the gym anyway, you might as well do some real exercises =).
