Day 47: MMA Workout

I’m loving the MMA workouts and Tuesday was no exception.  After my JJ class I did 10 mins of all round workout then I did the MMA workout for 30mins.  Wrecked by the end of it but in a good way.

Day 46 & Lay Off Week

This week has been a layoff week as its been roughly 20 days since my last but I’ve also got a grading on Sunday that I need to be 100% for.
I still did my usual strength thoguh – couldn’t hold off.  And I’m still greasing the groove.  I’m sorry but I can’t remember exactly what [...]

Day 45: Maximal Strength

As I mentioned in a previous post I had to shuffle the days a bit and today was the first go on my new toy (see pic).  A bucket of sand!!
I’m always on the look out for new methods of working out to keep myself fresh.  Nothing worse than getting bored of workouts – motivation [...]

Day 44: Conditioning is King

I decided to go all out today and hammer my body to hell.  The past few days have been too sedentary for my liking including missing my usual conditioning workout yesterday for greasing the groove (rubbish excuse).
Well today I’ve been greasing the groove with my usual push ups, pull/chin ups, etc.
But also…
In the morning I [...]

Day 43: Grooving

The past 2 days have been poor for workouts and today was an experimentation with greasing the groove.  I’ve started the everyday push ups and pull ups routines.  Considering I had a JJ session later on it wasn’t the best idea but I was surprisingly fresh for it.  I can feel the conditioning really starting [...]

Day 42: Plyometrics

Today I managed:

Jumping Squats
Clean and Jerk

Flagging.  Motivation waning.  Must fight the laziness.

Day 41: Core, Forearms and the Iai

I really need to learn to do these posts daily cos by the time I get round to it I’ve forgotten what I did.  So I’m sorry but I THINK I did the following…
Core

Ab Roller – 5 x 2 sets
Sit Ups – 10 x 2 sets
Back Extensions – 10 x 2 sets
Plank – 1:20

Forearms

Wrist Roller [...]

Day 40: MMA Workout

This is getting too easy!!
I started with 2 x 2min rounds of Bas Ruttens Thai Boxing audio as a warm up.  After that I did his 30 min MMA Workout Routine 1.  It was tiring as it always is, but his finisher at the end…?  Well normally I’d collapse on the ground spitting sweat into [...]

Day 39: Strength

When I created my new programme I forgot to check the loop.  So I’ve actually got two strength workouts close together with only a days rest seperating them.
Nevermind – since this programme started I’ve noticed a nice improvement in my recovery capacity, etc.  I’ll do a full review later in the week but for now [...]

Day 38: Rest

Lots of rest.  Rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest rest.
Oh – and some wrist twists for the forearms.
