Training lately has really been uninteresting. But very beneficial. I think there's a lesson hidden there.
Saturday I deadlifted light. 375 x 5 x 2
Long Cycled: 2x24kgs for one 4:00 set
5 rounds:
48kg Swing x10
Burpee x 10

Monday:
Deadlift:
385 x 5 x 1
405 x 4 x 2
Ring Muscle Up: 8,5,5,5
Plate Curl: 25lbs + 1 chain for 2/1, 1/1

Training is very specific--will do some long cycle today (tuesday). Not at all sore from deadlifting which is good.

Adding weight to the Bottom Up Press

Progressing, in many ways. Here's what I did today:
Thick Bar DL:
225 x 5
285 x 1
295 x 1
305 x 1
Oly Bar DL:
355 x 5 x 1
385 x 5 x 2
A lot of pulling today and felt strong all the way through--awesome.

32kg x 2/2
32kg + 10lb chain x 3/3
32kg + 20lb chains x 2/1

Huge new PR for BUP--the chains are a great way to progressively add weight as shown here:



Slow Muscle Ups on Rings: 8, 5, 5
Plate Curl: 25 x 8/8, 6/6, 5/5

Punches and kicks on heavy bag.
Overall great strength day.
Been training a lot of fighting this week so training has been mostly more of the same...
Deadlift
Ring Muscle ups (These build a very solid muay thai clinch!)
A good 50% of my training right now is corrective work.
More deadlifting to come today.
Yesterday I also did a few sets of long cycle.
