A.Inc. Bench: WT5 Reps got 5 @ 90kgs so it's coming back up!
B. Chins: 10,4,6 to complete the 20reps

D1. Reverse Grip Pushdowns 2x 25
D2. Reverse Curls 2x 15

Workout was good! We were all a little 'flat' heading in but the great thing about training with others is that you all end up 'picking up the slack' and pushing each other a little harder!

Conditioning/Judo/Learning French
Has been a busy couple of days, Friday was a long slog after the gym marking assignments & chasing up kids that we're battling to get things done. Was very tedious day! And I left feeling 'less than ideal'
However things picked up once I got on the mat...

26/11/10: Interesting Day Ahead...
Just finished my morning workout.. Dang it was a goodie!
A: Bench Press - Worked up to Max Reps @ 100kgs, got out a set of 6 then a set of 3 (down about 6reps from normal)
B1: J-Pulldowns 3x 12
B2: Cuban Press 3x 8-10
C1: BB Bent Over Row 3x 20
C2: DB Side Raise 3x 8-10
D: Bench Press - Drop Set/Max Reps at 60, 40, 20
Worked out this morning with Tom and Jimmy, was good because these guys bring a good intensity to the gym. Was talking about how with people that train hard the brain defies logic, you safely can do 10reps but your mind is saying 'do 20!' even though it knows its causing harm!
Today is also my last day working at NZIS, I've been there for smack on 2years now and have mixed feelings about leaving but thats another blog...
Tonight at Judo we'll be doing gradings for a few of the white belts, grading for white belt (under my 'system') consists of demostrating the 6 throws required then 20minutes of non-stop randori (fighting). This is to see the 'heart' of the guys grading...
Anyway work time now. Thanks to everyone who's been reading this, will start posting up more videos, pictures etc.. as I have more time free. Tomorrow we're doing strongman conditioning so I'll aim to get some video up of that
Ciao

Day 3 & 4: My everything hurts!
Day 3:
Today was a pretty low key training day, only did Ju Jitsu in the evening at strikeforce.. Was good to get back on the mat there as I haven't rolled with the guys in about 4months with being so busy with Judo. Was a good feeling to drill & have a laugh with the boys again though. I really respect Karls coaching and his continual upskilling, one of the reasons Strikeforce is such a successful MMA/Grappling club.
Day 4:
This morning started with my first leg workout in ages...
Now, anyone that knows anything about gym training will tell you that training legs after a layoff is never fun! I had instant soreness from most exercises and tomorrows going to be a fun day!

Gym: Day 1
6:30am start in the gym today with Tom and did the following workout, first one in the gym in about 3months so was a little 'weak' to say the least!
A: Incline Bench Press: Worked to 5RM(WT5) got out a set at 85kgs.. down about 15kgs from normal
B: Chinups 20reps total (did it 4x 5reps)
C1. Seated Row 3x 8
C2. Curl- Press 3x 12
D1. Elbows out extension 3x 15
D2. Reverse Curls 3x 15
E. Bar Pushups 50rep drop set to finish
Training with Tom so all exercises (other than A & B) were done on a I go, you go tempo..
Felt a little naesous at the end of it all but was good to get back in there!
Tonight will be 20sets of push & 20 sets of pull in the gym, just more of a 'pump' at this stage will start structured work next week.

Day 1: 8 Weeks Till Take Off
Training starts today... Strength testing.
In 8weeks time I leave to Paris for what will be the hardest training year of my life, last week I was awarded a scholarship to train full time with the French Olympic team, a squad of World and Olympic Champions. The best way to think of it is I'm going to train fulltime with the All Blacks of Judo x 1,000.
The opportunity that I have is amazing, not only will it bring my Judo up to a level it's never been before, but it will also let me experience Europe, learn a new language and knock a few things off my bucketlist.
