haven't logged on here for a long time, and last time I wasn't very consistent. Things have changed a lot, I'm not fighting anymore or even training any MMA or BJJ or anything so it's now just recreational for me.. nonetheless I'm going to try and train my hardest. I've got a lot more limited equipment now than I used to.. (No dumbbell, no sandbag, no barbell etc) so it's going to be a bit more bodyweight based..

Any tips, criticisms or advice as always are welcomed!

Felt really weak during the pullups, gutted about that.. felt like I've been getting stronger too, going to write it off though.. not had the greatest weekend. Conditoning was really hard, pushed VERY hard tried to complete most of the sets without rest, legs were dead after.

Yeah, bruddah! Finally.
Nice work so far!
NASTY looking pyramid on august 18th.

You are definately not in bad shape.
Build a sandbag and you will be a machine in no time.
Funny thing... it seems that I am always talking about sandbag training, but I am so afraid of that thing myself that I very rarely train with it . So demanding it is!

Yeah I might just build another one, my last one split I think I filled it with wet sand and when the inner bags split it rotted the bag from the inside out

Cool, do you still log all your workouts on here fella? I thought it was time to try and get a bit more motivation with my training and just get stuck in, I think a log here is a great way to do that.. AND get plenty of advice and tips as always :)

Well, the MMA I got a little bit disallusioned with, I won my last pro fight with a submission in round 1 without getting hurt at all but I lost interest in the scene.. there's just too many arseholes in MMA at local and even national level - lot of attitudes, usually doormen or little idiots wanting to say "I'm a cage fighta!!!" rather than loving the sport.. BJJ wise (which was my first love) my instructor moved his club too far away for me to travel to.. just can't afford the cost of going that far to train, and there's no other BJJ clubs near me so had to knock that one on the head really..

Thanks man, I doubt I'll ever be known for much outside of being prepared to work hard, I like to think that is the reason I've been able to get to where I have both on the field and in the gym. I'll be keeping an eye on your log, you are doing pretty well yourself.

Notes

Run was okay, went out with the other half cos she wanted a run so I thought I'd make it fun ;) - Other workwas unweighted because my shoulder is hurting a little bit so thought I'd leave off the added weight for a week. Pushups dont count.. not max strength efforts.

Didnt have a great deal of time, been so busy sorting stuff for our wedding so I just did a little workout to tire out my legs. Starting to get worried about my shoulder again, hanging from the pullup bar was actually hurting. hmm.
