Update here: My fight May 2nd is confirmed. I'm freaking pumped to finally be getting my first fight (amateur). I've been focusing more on technique and conditioning than strength. Only a couple of weeks of hard training and than rest up the last week of the fight.
I'm debating about competing in a grappling tourney this weekend, but my elbows are starting to get some tendonitus and getting hurt this close to the fight would suck. I'll see how I feel after practice tonight and make my decision than.

Here's some of what I've done this week:

Monday
MMA Sparring
Bas Thai CD 10x3 heavybag rounds

Tuesday
Clean Technique Work than a few singles with 205lbs
Easy 2 1/2mile jog. Just some extra work.
Grappling technique work - 2hrs

Wednesday
Hard Grappling practice. I stayed on the mat until I couldn't see and was about to pass out. Rested a bit, rolled a bit more, and than my arms were killing me and I could no longer hold on to anything so I called it quits at that point.

Thursday
L-Sits and progressions. These are hard as fuck on rings.

Shoulder Progression 95lbs:
Strict OHP
Push Press
Push Jerk
3 sets of max reps on each. Once I reached failure on strict, I moved to PP, and than PJ. First set I got around 35 reps and 20-25 on the following sets. Rest was 2min between cicuits.

21-15-9 4:00 even
Burpees
50lb DB Swings (two arm one DB)

I spar again later tonight.

Bench Press:
185x15
205x3x10
225x2x6
135x20

I just wanted to get some decent volume in and give my joints a rest from the heavy pounding they've been getting.

Snatch:
95x10x5

Score!!!!



Was the 1 mile run with 95lb overhead done with a barbell? Truly evil stuff.

What the hell, you got to advertise! We must gather the full force of the S&P behind you.

Thanks for the support guys. I can't wait to get in there and twist this guy up.

Yeah. It pretty much sucked. I had to keep the bar fully locked out and my body tense. As soon as I got a little loose, I would lose the bar after only a few more steps. I also didn't help myself by running the first 100m without stopping. Toward the end it was 10-15yd sprints between deep gasps for air. The next three days I was pretty much combat ineffective. Couldn't raise my arms above shoulder level the entire weekend.

Monday
7x3min rounds on the heavy bag followed by a short practice. Just worked some combos and takedowns than had to go.

Tuesday

Your log is awesome brother.

I'm going to have to try do a mile while holding an ohp, i'll start with a 50# sandbag, i think i'd get crushed by the 135#.
