Hi all! So sorry I have kept the worst journal in history!
I am back and will update soon. Its all changing for me. Not started Judo or MMA yet as I promised the Mrs I would not start anything new until my twin girls have arrived. But I have been training like a maniac, massively on bag work, sparring and a bit of grappling. And have been hammering core and my new thing...beast skills!
Im currently sitting at a relatively lean 16st 10lbs and am fitter than ever. Loving cardio and crossfit type training. My strike work has really improved and my kicks have massively increased in speed and power. I can put some good power into neck height kicks now, with my thigh kicks coming on really strong. My boxing is much better, I now dont look like an idiot! And my elbows and knees are more solid and powerful from the clinch.
Unfortunately I am without any proper grappling practice at the moment. Which is a shame as its what I love most, and its what I've got both more potential in, and need most practice in!
So, the plan. Well currently I am off weights completely for 10 weeks. Im training beast skills only. See
Beast Skills - Tutorials for Bodyweight Feats and go to tutorials. All old school bodyweight and gymnastic training. Im working on building bodyweight strength to be able to perform and hold 3 moves - Full free handstand, Planche, Front Lever. My balance and core strength is coming on but its such had work. Yesterday I held a pointed good form handstand in the middle of a room for 6 seconds! I was pleased anyway. All very tiring after a while. Other holds are unbelievably hard.It'll take me a long time.
Then in ten weeks time, Ill be back on the weights and then Im experimenting in my first cycle of some more exotic supplements. May I add all legal! But banned from the olympics anyway! Ill update more then. I've not been bothered about it before but fancy a change and seeing what happens. Should make good reading anyway as I post more when I get there.
See Epidrol/Epistane on google for updates on what it is. A pro-hormone/designer steroid. Legal but banned from natural bodybuilding. Planning to recomp meaning maintaining bodyweight but with massively reduced fat and increased muscle. Can be dangerous without knowledge so Ill be posting everything I do.
Not banned in martial arts, boxing, Judo and certainly not MMA.
But thats not for a while. In the meantime I will continue my journey from Novice to fighter. From bulldozer to freight-train. From Rhino to Jaguar.
Behold the transformation!
God Im a cheesy twat.
P.S. just watching 'Never back down'. Awesome
Glad to be back
