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.

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...

**UrbanFlatline** · 09-30-2008, 08:36 PM

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

**UrbanFlatline** · 10-04-2008, 12:04 PM

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!

**UrbanFlatline** · 10-05-2008, 01:09 PM

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!

**UrbanFlatline** · 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!

**daYDreAmErX** · 10-08-2008, 08:05 AM

Good stuff

I was about to PM you

**Clark_Kent** · 10-08-2008, 08:11 AM

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.

Good journal so far, keep up the hard work

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

AND FIGHT GIRL PICS!!

**IzRiot** · 10-08-2008, 06:26 PM

subbed, man your conditioning is bad ass i want to getup to that level, what is your diet like?

**UrbanFlatline** · 10-09-2008, 08:28 AM

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

Awesome work out... Cant wait till 6 for my boxing and grappling classes

**daYDreAmErX** · 10-10-2008, 07:44 AM

Private sessions FTW !

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"

**UrbanFlatline** · 10-13-2008, 05:50 AM

Like before when I ate what I wanted I didnt crave things but this weekend out of left field I started craving lil Peanut butter cups. Seriously... lol So I had a pack of them... DAMNIT

Anyways its Monday and its a new day to do things right. Im hittin the gym tonight. SKIPPING BOXING!!! And instead Im going straight to grappling and then MMA class... YAY

**UrbanFlatline** · 10-13-2008, 07:59 AM

**UrbanFlatline** · 10-14-2008, 05:58 AM

So last night I skipped boxing and did Grappling and MMA class...

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.

Hotness for your eyes pleasure...
