No, I work in Louisville at one of the hospitals.

MMA/ Conditioning

Rolling:
three 2 min rounds. Started from knees. Mostly working w/ mew guys on basic gaurd stuff.

Conditioning:
The circuit from Hell:
Station 1: Jump Rope x 50 turns
Station 2: Barbell Commando Press (45lbs bar)
Station 3: Sandbag Bearhug Squats (75lbs) x 10
Staton 4: 45lbs plate halos
Station 5: GnP (50 punches n elbows)
Station 6: Power-overs x 10
Station 7: Burpee + Clean (40 lbs dumbells) x 5
Station 8: Staris x 5

All done in 3 minutes, x 3, 1 min rest/ death

Iron Man:
Rotated in on one of our fighters who has a fight coming up. He had to go 9 rounds, 1 min rounds, no rest, in both striking and starting off in bad positions. He did well, but was dead afterward. Just somethingn for me to look forward to.

Tech Sparring:
Worked w/ a new guy on avoiding being cut off and setting up his kicks w/ punches for a couple rounds.

Impressions:
A couple more fighters jumped ship and joined up wi/ our team today. Nice to get some recognition. I did well, but the fighter we were prepping went a little hard (not suprising, he's 155) and clocked me decently on the right eye socket. Thin line that looks like a cut, but it didn't bleed.
 
Sat.
MMA:
1 hour
Rolling:
3 three min rounds. Got subbed a lot.
Lots of drilling (guard passing mostly and sub defense)

Impressions:
Open mats. Worked w/ a new guy on the fight team, purple belt in BJJ, 180lbs. Like I said, got subbed a lot in rolling (neck crank, armbar, triangle, heel hook), and almost caught him in an Anaconda choke, which I was proud of.
The live rolling was more for him see what I needed to work on and where I was at than anything. Learned a lot. He'll be a good addition to our fight team.
Light day after Friday's craziness.

Same here, and.. Excellent.
 
Mon:

MMA:
2 hours

Bagwork:
3 two min rounds on the "Bob" striking dummy. Worked 2-1-2's, 2-1-3's, and knees. Worked a lot on movement, finding range w/ the lead 2, and targeting.

Sparring:
8 two min rounds, 45 seconds rest between rounds.

Highlights: Well, the 2-1-2 works well enough. Landed it relentlessly. Good head movement, Good inside leg kicks. Now that my hand is healed up, I can throw left hooks again as well.

Lowlights:
One of the school's karate instructors (Shotokan Black Belt) would have pushed my shit in with body kicks if we were going full power. Still trying to figure out how to close distance with him.

Rolling:
8 two min rounds, 45 seconds rest between rounds, Situation: I mounted the opponent, then we went live from there.
Highlights: Not a lot to say here. The purple belt in BJJ was the last guy I rolled with, and he swept me three times before I figured out how he was doing it so easily. Once I figured it out, his day got a whole lot worse.
Got a lot of limura sweeps.
Lowlights: Never able to maintain mount on any opponent. Its definitely my weakest position on the ground.
Got subbed w/ an omplata

Body Conditioning
Medicine Ball to the gut
Thai clinch body shots

Fight Team Stuff:
Worked w/ the guy who has a fight coming up on some stuff.
He survived.

Lifting:

Dumbell Snatch
20 x 3
50 x 3
60 x 3
80 x 1
115 x 1
135 x 0,0

Barbell Snatch:

Impressions:
Did this right after class. Probably not the best idea after a punch-intensive session.

We have one of these BOB's but it's not filled yet. Worth it, or should I just keep with the XXL Wavemasters?

New Article from Ross.
RossTraining - Articles

As a young fighter, I broke my hand inside the ring. I was impatient and never gave myself time to heal. I returned to action too soon. I broke the hand again, again, and again. It was an ongoing problem that could have been entirely avoided with patience. My impatience not only delayed my athletic development, but also led to repeated injury. Now that I’m older, I can’t think of any training related injuries that I’ve endured in the last 10 years. I am far more capable physically, and live without pain or injury.

If there is one thing that you can take from this article, I hope that you can learn from my mistakes. Continue training with intensity, but recognize the importance of patience. There will be times when it seems like progress is moving at a snail’s pace, but giving up on the goal entirely is not the solution. After all, who said that life was supposed to be easy? If you want something, be prepared to pay the price, which means preparing for a long and difficult journey. And when in doubt, remember that those who remain steadfast and diligent often exceed even their highest expectations.
