SORRYYYYYYYY!!!

i'm very sorry about the complete lack of post's, but my internet went down for months, when it came back, the computer broke and since its been fixed i've been useless and not posted anything.

anyway, this account is giving me alot of grief on my computer, i'm on my friends now, and have had to make a new account and start a new blog.

The new blog will be much the same as this one but i will focus more on stuff for you guys, then for me. That and a funky new title and slogan is all thats different. Visit the blog here:

Day 16

ILL

still tired to do what i could,

15 strikes shadow sparring

15 strikes shadow sparring
x3

didn't take long, wasn't hard but i was ill.

Day 15

3x 3x5 minutes MMA shadow sparring.
alternated between shadow sparring and ground work with my rolled up mat.

also did some pull ups and stuff but wasn't really counted. probably did about 30-50 because i did 5 every time i passed my chin up bar.

Day 14

Private session was called off today, re-booked for Saturday though.

3x5 minutes MMA shadow sparring

i switched between shadow sparring and grappling/ground and pound with my rolled up exercise mat.

1 mile cycling 
50 hindu squats
5 minutes cycling

1st mile was on gear 1 and was completed in roughly 3 minutes 40 seconds (i went all out)
the 5 minutes was on gear 10 and the aim was to see how far i could get. i got to over a half mile.
Needless to say i needed a few minutes after the squats. My aim is to eventually get to a mile in 5 minutes. This almost killed me.

20 bicycle crunches
20 dorsal raises
20 leg raisers
20 dorsal raises
5 improvised ab wheels
5 hanging leg raisers
20 good mornings
30 kayak twists
x2

had to put my hands under my bum eventually, on leg raisers
improvised ab wheels were done with dumbbells but they didn't roll probably, so i had to roll them on my forearms which hurt a bit.

Skills vs basics

Hi all!
i've recently hit a dilemma in my training. i don't know whether to do these class's or do exercises at home. The classes aren't extremely hard at all, but they do make me ache from all the grappling, meaning i can't exercise for that day.

So its either be skill full but not incredibly fit or be really fit but not incredibly skill full.
So here's my solution:
do a private session that only focuses on skills once a week, so it doesn't over exert me, so i can still train.
But unfortunantly its incredibly expensive. 30 pounds an hour. So i'm only going to do it every other week, starting tomorrow. I'll tell you how it goes!

Day 13

Posts went weird yesterday and day 11 is after day 12, oh well. Today is a full day.

5+ miles cycling
15 seconds all out at 1,2,3,4 and 5 mile marks after the 15seconds another 15 seconds of all out but with shadow boxing as well.

0 to 0.5 miles was sort of a warm up at 6 mph. then it ranged between 8-10 mph for the first 3 miles then roughly 12mph for the last 2. 1 gear up from last time. Gear 3. total  time: 29 minutes (roughly)

3x15 concentration curls (each)
3x30 tricep extensions ( 1 DB for both arms)

15 lateral raises
15 front raises
25 DB rows
x2

2x8 shoulder presses (barbell)

4 hours later

20 push ups
20 bicycle crunches
20 hindu squats
x5

3x3 minutes bag work
3x3 minutes skipping
2x2 minutes in fighting
2x2 minutes out boxing

1 minute rest inbetween each round and exercise.

This took very long.

i've got another post ready, i'll put it up today or tomorrow.
