Decided to take another MMA fight in August. Been a while out of the game so I am a tad heavy as well as I have a pile of "ring rust". Just some quick info 35 years old 5'7" Current weight 230lbs Fight weight 200lbs 23 years experience in martaial arts, MOstly stand-up but about 5 years onthe ground Pros- Patient, lots of tools in the tool box, decieving conditioning Cons- Got in the game late, sometimes too much of a counter fighter
First day back Well I was going to go for a run but it started to storm. Instead I did the Bas Rutten All-round workout CD for 28 minutes. I have 11 weeks so the first 3 weeks I am going to focus alot on weight loss. I have nearly 30 lbs to lose in 11 weeks so the sooner I can drop it the easier it will be. This first week I am going to attempt to fast from solid food for 7 days. Clean out my system(yuck) and start over fresh. It wont be a complete fast as I will be drinking protien shakes mixed with water as well as a powder greens suppliment, mulitvitamin and a fiber supplement.
1-1. Haven't fought since 2004 or 05 I think. With work and a famly I never had the time to train properly. I still dont have the time but I figure I'm not getting any younger so what the hell
