Peter's MMA & Weight Training log discussion
Moderators: Ironman, Jungledoc, parth, stuward, jethrof
Peter--it may be too late for you to see this before your fight on Saturday (we've been having network problems, and I haven't been on the internet for more than about 5 minutes for a few days) but I wanted to try to wish you good luck! You couldn't have trained harder or smarter. You'll do well. Most of all have a good time.

Starts with "Banded."
I may sneak them in on Friday, though.
***
By the way it's Summer schedule at two of my jobs, so at the moment I don't work Saturday morning anymore. That means I can make it to MMA class if I want to. So my current plan is:
Sunday: Off
Monday: DeFranco's
Tuesday: MMA
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: DeFranco's
Friday: AM Prowler pushes, PM MMA
Saturday: AM MMA or AM lifting
The aim is to get in 3x a week of MMA and 2x a week of lifting. I need to prioritize my technique work if I want to stay in Advanced and do better. But my work schedule made 3x a week impossible - I had classes or clients, overlapping all but 3 MMA classes, and the other was overlapped by DeFranco's.
The Prowler work might shift around. I find steady-state cadio really boring but I have this Econo Prowler just sitting there when I get to work every morning, so I'll try to push it at least 1x a week for 6-10 trips to keep my conditioning up.

I put my fight video in my log, but here they are. Both are Executive (age 30+) No-Gi Advanced Middleweight (160-179.9 lbs).

I'm disappointed but I fought against two good guys who didn't make errors I could capitalize on, and they were quick to capitalize on mine. I still can't identify where in my matches I hurt my wrist.

My boss has been using these with clients since I got there, but I saw it again in this article, too;

They are really good, but only once you can do a plank. Not a problem for either of you guys.

Yeah. I find them easier than ab roll outs, in that I don't need to control the barbell or wheel, but they are still murder on my midsection.stuward wrote:I tried these out. I never really found a way to get my feet to move freely enough. Sock feet on hardwood was the best I could do. They're similar to ab roll outs which I do now. Lots of fun anyway.
