"We've done 150 sparring rounds, live sparring rounds for this fight. I couldn't have perfected this dance any more than what it's gonna be. We're just ready to go in there on Thursday and do it...I don't believe in over-training. I think someone made that up who didn't necessarily want to train that day so he came up with a line and said ‘over-train.' I don't believe it. I'm in the mind that the more you do something the better you get at it."

I think he doesn't understand the meaning of over training.

Left Hook Larry disagrees, buddeh.

Someone has adopted AKA's ethos...

I don't believe in the Moon, I think it's just the back of the sun.

 

[Lost Dragon]

Anecdotal but I knew a guy who was so obsessed with training that he couldn't understand why he was lifting less each day. 4 times a day on arms. 3 on chest. leg day once a month.
I mentioned overtraining but he laughed at me and said the more you train the stronger you get.
Shrug.

 

[YellowBaneno]

Sure, until he jacks his back like this guy

 

[Lemmy]

but overtraining believes in Eddie.

Cain doesn't believe in it either, look where that has gotten him. Went from potentially being goat hw to having one of the most injury prone careers of all time.

Overtraining is a real phenomenon but you have to get crazy to reach that point.

LMFAO. I love Sherdog. Sometimes I hate it, but for the most part I love it. Thanks, lads.

Cain's problem hasn't been training too hard or over training, it's his methods. There's a difference.

eddie probably feels hes making up for lost time. i remember when he had to sit out forever due to his head issues .

 

[YellowBaneno]

Nope, everyone know those AKA guys do training little too hard, but you have a point with wrong method. I see both caused him injury.

 

[maxi diablo]

I wonder where he gets all the energy from.

 

[cumafish]

he should spar 5 rounds hard right after weigh ins, that'll help.

 

[Area809]

Maybe it works for him.

 

[Squall Leonhart]

I wonder if there is a reason he feels fresh and healed from injuries.
