1.4.10: Day One: Power

I started my power training today. I'm doing this so I can be explosive for the full 5 minutes (matches and even just for rolling). I know I'm afraid to push in rolling for fear of gassing out, this is part of why I'm training harder. I try to conserve too much energy, when I may be able to blast through someone quicker!

Clean/Jerk: 2x sets warmup, 3x sets/7 reps 95lbs
Jump Lunges: 3x sets/20 reps (God these hurt)
Diagonal DB Swing: Like a golfer (or barbarian), 3x sets/10 reps per side, 40lbs
Lateral Jumps over step: 3x sets/ 20 reps (chest felt like exploding)
Plyo Pushups: 3x sets/10 reps (felt hard but not too hard, need to think on that for next time)

Light Cardio, 5min each: Elliptical (res 5, 8mph), Treadmill (incl 10, 4mph), Bike (res 5)
Stretches

I'm going to work solely on cardio tomorrow, no lifting since I am doing whole body workouts. Then BJJ tomorrow night!

What do you think so far? I'm keeping it lighter on purpose, I've never been overly strong or had great cardio, and I really want this to work so I'm taking it nice and slow so I don't bitch out and quit!
