Finnegan's Wake

[finnegan]

Friday:

MMA Fight Team
1 1/2 hours

Impressions:
Did stuff. Belly pad was awesome. I was yelling "Don't hold back, fuckin' hit me!" with it on, and I realized when a guy did a flying knee to the pad and I couldn't feel it that it was the best $50 I've ever spent on gear.

Sat.

Kickboxing:
Bagwork:
200 jabs
200 crosses
300 hooks
100 1-2;s

High Kick training, stretching, etc.
20 second punch outs x 4 (bodyshots)

Bagwork:
3 three min. rounds, mostly up close work (hooks, uppercuts, knees, and elbows)

Impressions:
Used the "Bob" since its easier on the hands. Focused on technique, range/ closing, keeping hands up, and accuracy. Used the mirror a lot.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

you are a tool finn. i cant believe you went back to title after all of your bitching. hahaha

 

[finnegan]

The price and reviews of the pads were just too good to pass up, or so I thought. Title Thai pads have a lot of really, really good reviews, and they were only 55 bucks.
Never again, though.

Circuit done using the Tabata protocol (20 sec work, 10 sec rest) x 10 minutes

When is the fight Finn? If you don't want to say in teh log, PM me. I'd like to make this one.

 

[Deleted member 130905]

I'll take a PM as well if you can't say the date. What weight also?

 

[Tamil]

PM, por favor. Also I think a mod offered to soft-delete the log for you, am I correct?

Thanks guys. I'll see if Urban or Lusst can soft delete this log after the weekend. Firetending stuff will be my last entry for awhile.

 

[vonanaka]

good luck with the fight, whenever it is. Gonna miss this log, it is a good place for inspiration.

 

[Centaur]

Damn man, fighting 2x in what, 4 months?

I hope it's @ 205, cause you will be a fucking monster at in that class.

Hope everything is healed up and you're ready to do some destroyin'.

Fin's War Wagon:

 

[finnegan]

It'll almost certainly be at 205. I've got a little over 2 months to train for this one.

 

[Barut]

Good thing you're moving down in weight. You were close to being overwhelmed in the last fight.

 

[Centaur]

^^^

Haha!

 

[ghostwipe]

Good luck, Finn.

 

[SpiralOut]

Excellent Choice. Good luck Finnegan. War be with you.

 

[Bubble Boy]

Oh come on Finny, keep posting info in here. This log rocks dude. Just keep the crucial info out. Every now and then throw in some false / misleading info.

That's what I do. Tee hee...

 

[RedNeckJiuJitsu]

Dang. I'll be in Ohio then, which means the chances of gettin' down there are a lot less, unless I find myself rollin' in money. Also, I'll be comin' through your neck of the woods next Tuesday (not likely, but if I did, it woudl be later in the day) or Wedneday (I'd be up there sometime around noon, probably) on my way home. Shoot me a PM if you'd have time to get together then.
