Alright so I figure if I right out my everyday training log just day by day it'll keep me honest. So in this thread ill post pics and Do a write up on what I'm Doing for training every day. When people have suggestions or criticism just write it down. I want to be ready for this fight to the point that I will breeze through the actual fight.

O and check out this website for custom shorts... Muay Thai, K1 or boxing shorts... I thought it was cool..

9/29/2008

Tonight I was super tired from the weekend because my wife decided to party it up pretty hard. But I still dragged my ass in the gym and got an amazing work out.

I only did the Boxing class because I was seriously unable to move my arms by the end of it...

We did a quick 10 minute warm-up consisting of:
Jumping jacks
bicycle Crunches
Knuckle Push-ups
30 second punches
standing knee ups
And some various other exercises that I have no idea what to call...

From there we went into Rounds... 12-3minute rounds with 1 minute rest.

4 Shadow Boxing Rounds
3 Heavy bag rounds
3 Jump rope Rounds
2 Speed bag rounds

Then repeat the Warm-up as a cool down...

Hands up, chin down...

Man is this kicking my Butt...

Warm up for 10 min...

8 rounds alternating between heavy bag and shadow boxing... 3 min rounds

10 minutes One on One with coach and the mitts...

2-3min rounds of jump rope...

Cool down.

I was going to go to grappling but man am I tired...

MMA practice tomorrow and then Thursday I'm going to hit 4 hours of training... that should be fun

Grappling class yesterday... Actually it turned more into Ground and pound class...

I learned some new moves with the knee ride and some reversals for it. That was fun, I love the knee ride!

Did some 5 minute rounds alternating every minute between ground and stand up. Those were killer!

Ive lost over 15 lbs so far... another 15 lbs to go and Ill be looking to take a fight!

Well thats good to know... This week should be a good one. Just confirmed with a "BIG" sparring partner for tomorrow. He is 6'3 265 lbs... Easy target for me! lol...

UrbanFlatline

10-06-2008, 09:20 PM

So I just got back from training... Started with Boxing at 6. Started with a pretty easy warm up but then jumped straight into it...

4-3 minute rounds of heavy bag... 1 minute rest in between

4-3 minute rounds Shadow Boxing in the ring (Practice working out of the corner alot...)

3-3 minute rounds Jump rope! ( I hate this_:(....

1-3 minute round speed bag...

5 minute cool down...

Here I took a 3-3 minute sparring round with this big guy I know... I was tired as hell but I wanted a couple extra minutes of actually hitting a moving target... Coach approved...

Next I hit the grappling class... a full hour of wrestling with the strongest small guys Ive ever met lol...

Practiced some knee ride moves into submissions... and some escapes...

Ended with 5-3 minute rounds with 1 minute rest in between or straight submission wrestling.
At the end I couldnt move... I took twenty minutes after class to just stretch and walk it out before I drove home... I AM IN PAIN!!! But you know the saying...

P.s. Animal Pump is crazy and has helped me make it through the second hour of training all last week... thanks ANimal pump!

10-08-2008, 07:59 AM

So last night I had boxing and I kinda took it easy... I was super sore from the day before so I didnt wanna over do it... I warmed up like usual but instead of doing heavy bag rounds I doubled my shadow boxing... I did 7 rounds of shadow boxing and 3 rounds of jump rope... Then I had one on one time with coach and the mits... This is where I really learn the most. He started teaching me some diferent weave outs. Learning to move after every combo short or long...

Awesomeness!

Your training is looking good man. You said you have lost 15 lbs already? How long did it take you to drop that? I have dropped about 10 in the last 3 weeks and I have been eating to try and keep it on too. I have yet to spar standup with a big guy yet, but I have rolled with a couple big guys though, 275lbs - 300lbs. It was quite an experience to say the least.

I lost 16 in two weeks... I lost a good ten pounds that first week which I figure was water weight even though im drinkin 170 oz. of water a day. Then about a pound a day the next week... I did start taking animal pump though so I figure my weight will level off until I stop taking that. Just because of the Creatine in it. But who knows how my body will react with it...

Here are some fun photos for today... Cause I needed some inspiration lol

I shoot for six meals a day... One or two of those meals being a protein shake lol... The rest I just eat small super healthy portions without alot of carbs... Alot of chicken and fish and a ton of eggs.

Im taking a couple sups that help too... Animal Pump before class(minus the red pill) , a multi EFA, Pre-natal vitamin in the morning and a multi vitamin at night...

I just had an hour of private instruction. WOW! You can learn so much faster with a coach one on one. We worked on punching in for kicks and punching out. Setting up combos with knees and leg kicks... And setting distance for my favorite finish, THE HEAD KICK... lol

I am looking forward to learning combos going from punching to kicking. We have not gone over it yet in class. We have worked all the striking separately but I am anxious to learn how to transition from punching to kicking, because right now I feel very uncoordinated when I do it.

Ya I had a couple down my sleeve already but man he really opened my eyes to a new world with some of the things he showed me. '

O AND BY THE WAY!!!

I hate the weekend. It forces me to take two days off and I just dont like taking days off. I think Im gonna bike ride tonight if its not raining.

And My calves are killing me from boxing class. I havent had to stand on my toes for extended periods of time for a while... So this week I think Im gonna skip boxing and do Grappling and MMA class on MON, Tues, and Thurs. and then MT and Grappling WED and Fri... Plus my private lunch sessions on Thurs and Fri... WOOHOO should be a good week!

And Im gonna start training to mimic the style of this guy... "THE DIAMOND"

4 Pro fighters showed up to mma class and totally decided to do round robins on me till I puked. Well it worked.... Twice! lol

Awesome work out though and learned some new triangle variations that I never really knew before. so that was exciting.

yeah cross training is always funny i spar with a second degree combat TKD guy and he never see the heel pick coming lol. I'm not even a good grappler i just know im a better grappler then him haha.

UrbanFlatline

10-19-2008, 08:09 AM

LOL... Nice. Some of the TKD guys can be fun to train with because they do have good kicks. I find myself sucking into a defensive punchers stance when I fight them which is weird for me because I love to kick people!

So the weather really bummed me out for a few days! but Im back in action... My coach got me off the low carb diet I was on. Pretty much because I couldnt make it through a class without dying!

Now Im on a decent Carb diet and last night went great. Worked grappling for an hour and went into MMA. Practiced the take down and then sparred with some Pro fighters.

Emoore

10-22-2008, 09:43 AM

Hey I just realized you had started a log. Very cool. I'm glad you got off the low-carb business. You should have a lot more energy for training now. Your conditioning must be awesome, when I finish a boxing class all I want is food and a nap; can't imagine doing another class afterward.

UrbanFlatline

10-22-2008, 10:20 AM

Ya after another month or so its required to do three classes straight a day... so really Ill be doing Boxing for an hour then straight into Grappling then into MMA...

Thats what it takes to be on the "TEAM"

but once your on the team then training is free, supps are discounted and gear is free... SO ITS WORTH IT!!! lol

And ya my Cardio is getting up there... by the end of the two classes right now I can barely crawl to my car lol

daYDreAmErX

10-22-2008, 10:29 AM

Do you think it would be a good idea to do weight or cardio work right before or after a MT class, for example ? I always thought it'd be bad but I think that's th eonly way I could squeeze these sessions into my schedule (my gym is on my way to MT).

UrbanFlatline

10-22-2008, 11:28 AM

It would be good to do after... Not before though, If you come to MT tired then you will sacrifice the abilitie to train the moves correctly...

UrbanFlatline

10-28-2008, 06:23 AM

Freaking excited!!! So I drive about an hour to work at least everyday and then more then an hour home.

I just found out they are implementing a new system that possibly will allow me to work from home! not only will I save gas but I will save time and energy. Only allowing me to train harder and longer!

GOD I HOPE THIS HAPPENS SOON!

Ill find out if Im one of the first people to get this chance hopefully this week or next

10-28-2008, 07:42 AM

Its going good, I decided Im not a huge fan of the sweet science. Personally I think it should include kicks lol... Personal preference.

Other then that my cardio is really taking off and Im able to go for longer stretches of time. I need to find some mexican style headgear for my thursday and friday practice. I finally found a guy who doesnt mind doing some 75% sparring with me... Probably cause he is a **** ton bigger then me. But thats good because I really like feeling something behind my punch and getting punched.

Im wearing a very small costume for halloween and need to be without water weight. So ya... well see how this goes. This Morning I was 229 lbs. I guess Ill weigh myself before I leave friday night

Just don't get in any fights at the party you are going to because cutting like that will most likely result in you gassing early.

P.s. Its thursday night and Im down six pounds already and I havent touched the sauna

UrbanFlatline

11-02-2008, 06:24 AM

Alright So I never even used the sauna... I really wish I did! tear

But anyways friday night before I went out I weighed in at 223.2 lbs.!!!

My original goal when I joined this site was to lose 20 lbs by halloween... I more then accomplished that goal. I started at 245.8 so yay me!

NOW, I need a new goal to work on. Im thinkin hard and working on something so we will see what I figure out. Any suggestions will be gladly accepted. O and I forgot to load this pics from friday but Ill work on that!

futurebeast67

11-02-2008, 06:40 AM

you could try to get down to 215 by new years? thats the weight you said you wanted to be before you where willing to confirm a fight right? that seems pretty reasonable if you lost 20lbs from sept to halloween.

good job on reaching your goal btw..

what did everyone think about the costume lol?

Our gym gets our guys fights like crazy. Our head instructor is good friends with the guys that run a few of the multiple orgs around us, one actually trains at our gym occasionally. We had guys fight early last month and are fighting again December 6th. From what I have seen in the orgs around us there aren't a lot of bigger guys, above 185 that is.

My gym is also in tight with alot of the local orgs and actually my gym owns one lol... Braveheart mma owns EWC (Elite warrior championship) and also owns a clothing company... Drop Squad

Actually if everything goes right we will possibly be the largest square footage gym in america soon... But Im not getting my hopes up

Damnations I look good today... Anyways I had boxing last night and got some one on one with the coach just working on super simple basics. I wanna make sure I have those down... I know all the punches and how to do them seperately, I just really need to make sure Im always on balance to throw the next punch... I have a really tough time with leaning into my punches. BLAH!

So I keep checking my weight and although my diet isnt the best right now, Im staying around 225 lbs. Im upping my abs and core exercise ten fold really working on decline sit ups and rotational strength. When I started this class I really struggled to do 20 push ups. Now Im pumping out sets of 50 like its nothin!!! That really F-ing excites me and I can already see a difference in my arms, chest and shoulders. Also on thursdays Im gonna start doing high rep low set squats... Probably only 135 lbs to start with. Im really gonna try to get my legs cut! I think I could lose 5 pounds off my legs if I really try...

And now some hot fighter chicks to look at

The Tat: Is a Foo dog and Kanji the says Sagitarius. The Kanji was donated skin for a friend who was an apprentice tattoo'er... And the Foo Dog is not finished, when done the entire thigh will be covered...

My day job: I sit in a cubicle and play on the computer all day, Im in sales for Motosport.com

Diet: I completely understand diet is key and for two months my diet was amazing... but sadly Ive been super broke lately and had to make drastic cut backs as far as shopping for food... so now Im just eating as best I can... The oreos were just one really bad night where I had to eat something amazing lol

O I just found these pics hidden in my pics from an old account lol... I was 21 here... I wish I was this skinny still lol

So the HW Champ wants to fight you at 205? What weight does he fight at for Heavyweight then?

I have the same problem that you mentioned a few posts back about leaning into punches in a combo. I have been focusing on making sure each punch in a combo is its own punch and to not start throwing the next before the previous hand is back where it belongs. I have gotten caught a few times because of this but I think part of it is because I am still new and my combos are still pretty predictable. Jab, cross, hook gets picked up on pretty quickly I have found out.

He is dropping to 205 because he is going pro in two more fights supposedly... He walks at like 245 at his last fight but supposedly he could make 205 now...

And ya you have to learn some new combos or people pick up on that same one really fast... There is a guy who always slips his head to the inside when I throw my jab... He did it about six times, finally I threw my head kick after the jab... He took it to the temple and almost knocked him out... Last practice I saw him practice the slip to the outside( THE CORRECT WAY!!!) LOL!!

That is pretty funny. I can get fooled with something about 3 times in a session and then it doesn't work again, that day or a week later. The main guy I train with, he has a fight at 185 on Dec 6th, uses the double jab well. Except sometimes after he throws the second jab he pulls it back but doesn't get it up in front of his face all the way. The last week I have been waiting on that and landing the right cross. He seems to have fixed that since he was bringing his left hand back up during all of our sparring last night.

I know alot of guys who do the double jab... When I see the first jab Ill step through with a looping overhand right... ALA CHUCK LIDDELL... lol It works amazing on most guys. But keeping that hand up after the jab is for sure something I think everyone can work on! lol

It's hard to find that balance between using your body in your punches and not going off-balance. There's a guy I work out with who has the opposite problem. . . all his punches are strictly arm-- no hip or shoulder rotation at all. Yeah he's solidly planted but he hits like a. . . well, nevermind. :)

So are you going to fight these two guys or no? Will you find a warmup fight first?

Is it hard to find MMA matches? Seems like we have boxing tournaments every weekend around here.

Its actually super easy to find chumps to fight lol... But its hard to get a guy with a good record who will actually excel me in the fight world. I will most likely fight one of these two guys but not without a warmup fight first... I gotta knock off a year of ring rust for sure. I know I could take one of them easy because he isnt used to speed like mine... the other guy would be a challenge because of his wrestling background.

I have good hip rotation on my punches and for the most part stay back... But man when I smell blood that goes to ish and I throw hard and over my top foot lol... If I miss then Im screwed because I end up way out of balance

In the meantime Im going to try and contact one of my old sponsors that really helped out when times were tough. We will see how that goes.

actually read my mind, well handmade MMA gear in general, right now ill be screen printing on prefabbed shirts, though a very high quality of cut. but everything that isn't a T is handmade, and the Ts will be as soon as i get good enough at my stitching lines. I have two lines of MMA stuff forming
Kimura- my serious hardcore MMA kind of stuff. (think tap out, affliction etc)
and
Pit Fighter- more casual, some mma joke shirts, light hearted, MMA gear

and as soon as i start making some real money on to sponsoring fighters!

I can pretty much go down to my wrist if I want, although if I do that I couldn't roll my sleeves up. With my sleeves rolled up you can just see the bottom of the one on my forearm. I don't have anything in mind for lower than that so I should be good.

And yes I wore a Tux before my fight cause I went to a wedding that day lol

PS. I realize this guy was a monster! lol... really makes me look out of shape. And dont mess with my stand up stances, I dont know what I was thinking lol... Im trying to find the pic where I kick him in the head!!! Cause it was a bad ass pic. O and I shot for a triangle near the end there. He was to BIG, I could get my legs anywhere near closed. It doesnt help the I grabbed for his left leg when I should have grabbed for his right. LIVE AND LEARN

Seriously, if I don't start weight lifting soon I'm gonna keep dropping weigh tlike crazy and I don't want that. Still, I'm sure I could be strong and ripped at 125 lbs... we'll see.

So I know my muscle can grow and grow fast! I just need to actually lift weights. Im talking to alot of friends trying to find some guys to train with. But I might be on my own.

I wish I could grow fast. I have to do everything in my power to keep my size on. Although my MMA training has gotten my legs and shoulders bigger without having to directly work them with weights. That is awesome you are going to be able to get free training sessions in your BJJ and MT.

Ya Im excited that they are gonna stick around and help me out. They have alot of faith that I can go far in this sport so we will see!

but now its on you to push yourself most days a week, with your lifting rope skipping and all that other good at home kind of stuff.

A few jokes to lighten my mood... I love the south... Born in Boluxi, MS

Louisiana

A senior at LSU was overheard saying... 'When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana .' When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world.

Tennessee

The owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, 'You graduated from the University of Tennessee and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?'

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, 'Everything but my earrings.'

And this from South Carolina

'You can say what you want about the South, but I ain't never heard of anyone wanting to retire to the North.

Mississippi

The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, 'Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!'

Bubba replied, 'Did you see who it was?'
The young man answered, 'I couldn't tell, but I got his license number.'

I don't feel so bad about the weights I used for my last weight training session now, regardless of what C Project said. If you work with around 50% of your bodyweight you can still get a good workout in. Great minds think alike.

Naw I read ur workout and it was fine! Making it through a 25 minute fight is all about muscle endurance... Ur not going to be able to get true muscle endurance with sets of 5-8 reps... some people dont get that... Obviously if 20 reps at 135 isnt enough ill up the weight until I struggle to make it. and when the next weight isnt enough ill up that.

Im thinking about doing crossfit but im not sure yet

I am not much of a stretcher so if I get really sore like that I actually work out what is hurting but with a really light weight. I know that is pretty much stretching but if I am using weights I don't mind it as much if I can justify it as another workout, regardless of how little weight I use. A hot bath with epsom salts works too, if you can fit in the thing that is. I have to do one leg at a time and my back separate, it is a pain but I feel better afterwards.

They pretty much shove a hose up your pooper and rinse it out. I think it gets rid of a lot of the toxins too since some they sit all up in there. I guess the lemonade thing is much more hetro.

Yesterday I trained with Lodune Sincaid and Ray armstrong... Lodune was on one of the seasons of TUF... he showed me some awesome standup combos that Ive never used before so that was awesome... Ray worked with me on the ground and I must say he works well off his back. lol I thought I had him a couple times but he was just to quick!

My trainer suggested I take a K-1 style fight in two months time. He says because of my natural striking ability I might be able to excell faster at that type of competition. I GUESS WE WILL SEE!!!

That is awesome you get to train with fighters of that caliber. I am glad with my training partners, but working with someone who has even gotten to the TUF level has to make a difference. I guess our gym is somehow affiliated with Amir Sadollah's gym and our head instructor mentioned trying to get him to come by some time. That would be fine with me.

I wouldn't want to remember those shorts either.

OK, so I just saw in another thread that you're into bikes and are building a chopper.

Holy ****!!!!

I've been riding for seven years and make extra cash buying/selling/parting out bikes.

This is too weird.

My husband builds choppers but they make me nervous because parts occasionally fall off or come lose while you're riding down the road.

P.S. Why do you even own those shorts?

UrbanFlatline

12-29-2008, 03:56 PM

NICE!!! Ya Ive been riding dirt for 19 years now and I bought my first street bike forever ago.
I work for Motosport.com

that way I get a sick discount on all the parts i need lol

Ill probably be buying a hayabusa this year because ever since they came out Ive wanted to turbo one. I know its crazy but i have to!

THE SHORTS...

They started as an outfit for a white trash party. and then someone dared me to wear them on a regular night to a local "Cowboy" bar... so i did. Since then they have become famous and Ive wore them for special occasions and my birthday for the last three years lol. the DAISY DUKES... ARE FAMOUS!

Well although pole dancing is great exercise... lol

Im working out 5-6 days a week usually twice a day. Cardio in the morning and then weights/Bags or class at night. I started yoga last week woohoo FTW

I got called by the promoter yesterday. he gave me two choices in fights for february 21st.

205 kickboxing match against a guy who is 1-4... lol ya that would be a nice warm up match

OR...

220 MMA match against a guy names Daniel Krug. Former HW champion of the FCFF with a record of 6-1... He is 6-4 and weighs in at 230 right now.

Like a puss I told him I wanted the kickboxing match but if the guy woosed out I would fight Krug

You need to tell that lazy ass Krug to man up and cut to 205 himself.

Emoore

01-11-2009, 08:25 AM

Yoga FTW! I've started doing yoga too, it's great for recovery. Good choice taking the KB match; sounds like you're not as confident in your grappling as you are in your stand-up. I wouldn't call that being a puss, it's just smart career management. :)

LOL well although Im sure he could make it I dont know if he could right now. he is in Iraq and has had trouble getting fights to stick. People keep bailing on him last minute white I can understand blows balls...

Im really hoping for the KB match. Not only am I more confident in my stand up, I believe this to be the easier match up as far as a first fight back. Get rid of some of the rings rust....

On another note this weekend Im gonna drive seven hours to Idaho and watch "Caged Warfare" A new promotion that wants me to fight for them. Im gonna check it out and make sure its legit before I start putting time and energy into training for one of there events...

Tonight is "Cardio" Kickboxing... Which I have turned into an hour of Shadow boxing with 16 oz. gloves. It actually gets me sweating hardcore. Im also gonna do an abs workout and probably rec. Bike. End with a cool down in the sauna. I just got back from a light upper body workout and with a quick two miles on a Pre-cor machine

This was a crazy weekend... So I got the entire event filmed, but at weigh ins No one showed to fight this HW fighter. So I said I would and stepped on the scale.

THE CRAZY PART... When I got down to my undies he said he didnt wanna fight me while I was weighing in... lol Well someone else said they wanted to fight me so I got to fight... lol

I weighed in at 222.8 lbs.

check out the fight here...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RHsD6aBofc

Well, I can see why the other guy didn't want to fight you. The fight intro took 5 times as long as the fight itself. Well done sir.

Did you just happen to have your fight shorts etc with you or was there a possibility you could fight last minute?

UrbanFlatline

01-21-2009, 09:39 AM

Actually I didnt have my fight shorts with me... The promoter bought those from an mma shop locally so I could fight. The rest I had with me because I was gonna train at the local club.

Nice, did you at least get to keep the shorts too? They were lightly used, hell he probably could have taken them back if you had left the tag on.

UrbanFlatline

01-21-2009, 09:43 AM

LOL Ya I got to keep the shorts. Some ring girl was trying to get me to give her the shorts after my fight but I was like hell no these must be lucky! lol

PS I started doing Laps in the pool. I think Im gonna do pool work out every other day... I think Mon, wed and fri Ill do swimming in the morning and weights at night. Tues and thurs Ill do BIke or elliptical and hand bike.

I leave Wed morning for Idaho, Weigh ins are in Boise at around 3-4. Fight is on Thursday night and ill come home friday.

If anyone wants to watch its at Quest arena in Boise, ID. Should be fun. Ill post pics and video as soon as I have them.

Hey man. I haven't logged in for ages but just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on everything, all the progress, the wins and the tremendous shape you're in bro! You're a huge motivation to me for my fight in May. I won both my Muay Thai fights in Thailand ( not very proud of how I fought but to be fair the other two guys were 10-15 years more experienced hehe) , I start my BJJ training in May as well. Looking forward to keeping track of your fights!

AGAIN...CONGRATULATIONS!

I reached out to touch gloves and right when we touched he swung for the fences. I had a feeling he was going to do it so I ducked under his wild punch

That's what I thought, it looked almost like he didn't even touch with ya, and just was looking for a cheap shot. Bastard, lol.

Well done bud. That dude WAS tall as ****. He definitely doesn't know how to use his reach at all, although I don't think that would have helped in much. You stayed very calm when he had your back too. One thing I have found since we got our new big guy is that being on the ground with a bigger guy isn't that bad, the bigger they are, the more room there is for you to work. Nice KO too, the 3 or 4 punches before he went down were nasty as hell too.

Can you go into more how you picked up sponsors?

Sick fight I was very impressed, leg kicks were sick your ground was impressive you move well for a big guy, I hate when you get side control and they lock up a guillotine but I guess in his case it worked cause they stood it up and you didn't get to distribute some GnP.

Good fight though look forward to more videos.
