How do you train? I know every one works in different ways, and different things work for different people.

At the moment i work the follow.

Day One
Biceps and Back

Day Two
Triceps and Chest

Day Three
Cardio and Shoulders

Day four
Rest

Days one and two work outs I tend to do 4 sets, 20 reps of several different exercises, ususally 4/5 exercises per muscle group. Including a warm up run/ cross trainer.

Day Three I use running machine 10mins, cross trainer 10mins. 4/ exercises on shoulders with 4sets, 20reps.


I also includes some exercise I have found which are UFC (TUF) based exercises.

They include jabs, hooks and upper cut movements with wieghts. Ground and pound exercises with light weights, medicine balls etc.

2 days of Thai Boxing. We've got a new Brazilian instructor for our BJJ. 3 days weights as heavy as I can between 6-8 reps working on a pyramid system. On each of these weight days I also spend half an hour after working on the bag, sit-ups etc.

I add a couple of days swimming also and include surfing to the mix when the waves are good.

Oh, I'm also a doorman so get the extra exercise doing that like last night when I slammed a guy into his own piss outside, put him in a choker and almost put him asleep as he was trying to repeatedly smack me in the head. It was so funny the Manager of the venue burned a copy onto a disc lol.

Cool, i looked at the Pyramid system, but opted for endurance as wel as strength. I used to 'train to fail'. As for martial arts im still looking. Probably try a place in north wales BBJ and the wolfslair in widness as only 30 mins away.

I had a video of my mate working in a bar of cctv, attacked by drunk and two right hard jabs put him on his face, then he was dragged out side.

Being a sobber, youve won half the battle

I try to go to the gym every day mon to fri, but more often than not I manage only 4 days. I tend to do 30 mins cardio and work a different muscle group each day, in no particular order. I do 3 sets of 12 reps on at least 4 different exercises inc free weights and machines (pyramid). I also do around 100 sit ups/crunches/leg raises every time I go to the gym, normally in sets of 20 - 25.

Then on a Thurs I train MMA for 2 hours (soon I will be doing Muay Thai on a tuesday too) and motocross on a sat or sun for the whole day.

I dont ever really go to the gym at weekends and I pretty much eat rubbish all weekend, so probably ruining all my hard work through the week, that s my only downfall.

Just remember, that you can eat as much and whatever you want in one day and you will never add a 1lb of bodyfat becuase of it. Have a cheat day and feelgood about it.

As if monday i should be starting boxing training. leftright.co.uk is the gym i will be training at for this. They also do kick boxing classes which il look at, at a later date.

Good idea. Get a good boxing base to move on. You'll really enjoy the kickboxing when you get to it.

A guy I know is a instructor their. He said he could give me a 1-2-1 session too after the actual class.
