Finnegan's Wake

MMA/ BJJ:
3 hours

Impressions:
Oh look, something is different...
 
No hard feelings man, just the bong never worked as well for me. Inhaling when only having the torch on the pipe has always worked the best for me, so its what I recommend. Maybe if the bong doesn't have any water in it, it would be better.

No worries man; to each his own.
 
Yep. Big instructor, too. About my size (230 lbs, 5'11). Brown Belt. He's a professional instructor too. No day job.
 
Awesome man. You can learn a ridiculous amount from a brown belt, so that's cool
 
Conditioning:
3 min. rounds, 1 min rest

Rd 1: Catch Rows (35 lbs dumbell)
Rd 2: Sledgehammer (10 lbs)
Rd 3: Jump Rope (sprint in place every 30 turns)
Rd 4: Knees and elbows
Rd 5: Heavybag punches
Rd 6: Shadowboxing/ Sprawling

MMA Fight Team Training:
Yep. Stuff happened here.

Impressions:
Going to lift now. The conditioning didn't really knock too much out of me. My teammates were not pleased w/ the catch rows, which means it worked beautifully.

sounds like my old guy instructor, but he was a mt/bb too.

i really need to branch out and start training professionally.

i'm going to make that one thing my goal for this summer.

Impressions:
Weighed in at 225 this morning.
Well, my right elbow started to hurt a little bit a couple of days ago. It does that if I don't work my triceps occasionally. Anyway, tonight's workout was geared mostly toward that more than anything else.
I really focused on popping my hips through on the Z-Squats. The weight was light enough to play around with it. I liked it.
Oh, and I tried an Ab Wheel Burpee. You're a sick fucker Standard.
 
I think I’m out (work shit). I can give a definitive yes or no by Wednesday.
 
Damn. Looks like the Grand Gathering of the St. Wilhelm's Initiates will be at my next fight perhaps.
 
Aha, I'm not looking forward to March's challenge, brutal to be sure.

Enright, I hope you can make it, but it's understandable if you can't.

I would love to go. If I can't make this one, I'll make the next fight.
 
MMA Skill Training/ Conditioning:

Did stuff.

Impressions:
Felt good.
 
Core Circuit:
x 4
10 three second crunches
20 chinees
40 second bridge (20 seconds left side, 20 right)
8 flags

MMA Skill Work/ Conditioning:
Stuff went down.

Impressions:
Thankfully, I ordered two pairs of fight shorts from Title. I ordered a pair of the clearance Throwdowns with the idea of getting the team logo put on it, and a pair of Sprawls. The Sprawls came, but apparently, the Throwdowns were all gone. Whew. Once again, I'm reminded why I order from Boomer's. He's on here all the time and can answer questions.
Anyway, feeling good. The Sprawls are awesome. I ordered a size 36, but I realize now that I needed a 34. I underestimated how roomy these are, so a 34 will be fine the next time I order. Thank Jeebus for the drawstring.
Of course, next time I'll be in St. Wilhelm's shorts, so it wont really matter.

I wish I was fighting in my St. Wilhelm's shorts...

This promoter was pretty strict on what he expected. No pockets, must have internal drawstring, no metal or plastic, etc. Basically, I had to buy fight shorts.
 
nice man.. i just threw down for a new pair of the g-flex shorts for naga. even if the grip panel does nothing then I've got a pair of cool shorts.
 
In all honesty, I wanted a pair of Clinch Gear shorts, but again, the promoter wants all fight shorts to have internal drawstrings for some reason, which Clinch Gear doesn't have (even though they have a three way closure system.)
Still, the Sprawls are plenty roomy, so I'm happy with that.
