This time around I didn't, but next time I will be timing myself.
For deads I'm really trying to not use straps to work on my grip strength. The main reason I want to work on grip is for Judo throws and Grip fighting. If you have a death grip then no one can get away from you.
I don't know how long I can hold out before I have to use straps but we'll see. If I have to start using straps then I'll have to do more substitute grip work. Right now I use a 250lbs gripper and do random forearm work.

Dave, with the 5 pound weight I meant just for balance. Especially if your going down to a bench or something at first and sitting on it...the weight won't really register it'll just help keep you upright.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

I'll have to try it out and see what happens.

OVERVIEW
Wanted to work on cardio today and I was spent. I haven't done the Burpee C&P in so long, I feel so out of shape. After the second set, my lungs were screaming at me. The complexes didn't help either. I could only do 3 rounds and I had to take a longer break. The punching bag drills were fun and I really tried to push the pace. The ladder drills are always fun. Normally I don't end at 15, I go back down to 3 but I was so out of it, I didn't want to hurt myself. Tomorrow is more heavy lifting.

Update

OVERVIEW
Was out of town, visiting my Family and got a chance to workout with my brother at his boxing gym. We had a great workout and I ended up teaching a Submission Wrestling class on Saturday as a favor. We worked a lot of kicking and my hips are killing me still.

Not working out today because I'm trying out for our new competition team which will be totally different from "just going to practice". I heard that they are looking to have some killer workouts and really try and build up the team and take competitions by storm by having more one on ones with our best competitors. I already compete so I have an advantage to most of the people there. I was told to save my energy because it will be a grueling tryout since they want to weed out all the people that are not committed. Hopefully I get in. I'll let you guys know. Wish me luck.

damn i know you were ready to pass out after this. good shit homes

funny you say that. After I was done, I went into one of the aerobics rooms and laid on the ground for about 5 minutes just trying to catch my breath. After a while I realized I was starting to fall asleep, mind you it is 7:15am when I was done working out, so I figured I should do something like stretching while I'm laying down so I don't fall asleep.

hahahahaha. i know the feeling. you get so tired it almost feels like you are exagerrating lol

Good luck! You're the man, Dave!

good luck dude!
