Some good results with strength gains, plus i liked the plyometrics so I will endevour to continue atleast with the tuck-jumps until i can do 3sets of 20 with atleast a small weight.

PS: Erik is being a grub and talked his way out of training legs ...AGAIN
the grub did arms and didnt come to boxing..meow

You gotta watch out for these Chileans, they are lovers, not fighters, they like to talk it up for the ladies, but we all know its purely for show

Nearly a month down mate, I have put my EOI in as well, see what happens with that.

If Eric keeps piking on yr gruelling workouts, just feed him to the crocs, no point relying on him, you have to go it alone to reap the rewards

Ok all.. well I've had a few days off.. not sure if there is a relation, but after finishing the animal m-stack cycle I felt extremely drained, body was possibly fighting a flu as a few people in camp are sick. All I been wanting is sleep.. so I had to listen to my body.


It has now been exactly one month since I arrived.. overall assessment thus far is I'm happy with the amount of training up until a few days ago, and with grappling progress.. Jono has been putting ideas in my head of spending another year of training like this, cutting to 95kg and fighting in competition...hmmm now I've started to daydream about this.. I'm not gonna make a bodybuilder.. maybe I can fight ok, only one way to find out.

Training 2: Rolling.. where do I start? Had to work a little harder today as I've finally got a partner bigger, heavier, stronger and uglier than me.. actually a very nice dude with allegedly nothing but a rugby background. Moved very well and all credit to him, apart from one choke that i got on just before time.. and many other attempted submissions..erik and I got dominated. Left the gym with feeling of having somewhat under performed.. but after thinking about the afternoon's activities decided that all this means is that Im gonna have to work harder from now on and use the stamina advantage, weather the storm at the start, and set up something quick while he's tired. Thats the game plan.. as for now..

Dinner: 4x pieces of apricot marinade chicken, mash potato, lettuce/egg/bacon salad.
Rest
Start night shift with a shake and about to make up a snack for around 2300h..


PS: Skeeny.. why u hatin? I know you'd love to be over here doing this shit with us!
