Thoughts updated 18 October 2011

My thoughts are this. All I do in the gym is meant to improve my athletic ability and thus improve my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I understand that the best train hard in the GYM, and BJJ fighters are no different. I am putting in the time now, to best in the best possible shape, so when I reach black belt or when I do MMA in the future, I am already well versed in weight and cardio training. Everyday is foot forward to improvement!

I love Olympic Lifting, and am loving working to improve my snatch and Clean and Jerk. I follow MikesGym.org Olympic Lift WODs. . The Front Squat is my favorite squat, because of the strength and flexibility requirement. I also love the overhead head squat, so much overall flexibily and stregnth is required to do this, and its why I love it!

I want an athletic bench press, meaning, I want NFL combine bench, where you rep 225# for as many times as possible.  Deadlifts are just manly, and need to be done.
