The Log Begins

I have been avoiding doing this forwhile, what i mean i creating a training log. But hey, I have a feeling that it will keep me dedicated to what im doing seeing as i am always get sidetracked and what not.

Okay heres the details:

Age: 14 turning 15 in a few months
BW: 135+ haven't checked in a while (lack of a weighing scale)
Height: Around 5"7-5"8 mostly likely above that now but again i haven't checked in a while.

Training Backround and my Story :
I started karate at probably around gr.4 - 5 im not sure but yes i was quite young. I had probably taken it for about 3 years until i quit. The reason i quit was we didn't spar enough and I really, really found those patterns/forms things really boring. It was probably a while after that i saw that muay thia movie "Ong Bak" which made me go oh man that stuff is bad ass, so i went to youtube searching Muay thai and there i found videos of Ramon Dekkers, Buakaw etc. Afraid to ask my parents to enroll me into somthing else i began to learn moves from muay thai by watching those fighters train and fight. I had punching bags in my basement so i was able to train everyday. Then one day I asked to be enrolled into muay thai. We went to a pretty Run down gym owned by a champion heavy weight muay thai fighter. It just went on from there- I soon got addicted to training and by the time you knew it i was training everyday aspiring to get better and stronger each day.

Now I have my own mini-training facility at home complete with weights a punching bag, focus mits etc. (but i do need a power rack) Im planning on going back to the gym in a couple of weeks.

Goals
Basically i want to improve in muay thai and get my body weight to about 155 in X amount of time. I also would like to get stronger, and have great speed, stamina, cardio strength and technique for when i have my first amateur fight.

Training

You guessed it, I will be doing the "squats and milk" workout on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays while everyday except for weekends i will be training in Muay thai . I might burn out but its worth a shot. http://www.ironworkout.com/20_rep_squat.htm

I will probably add other exercises aswell from time to time.





I will start the Log on Monday of next week see you then.

Im going to go back to my muay thai classes today and soon so the log will begin shortly sweet..

Sorry guys, i have time to post this cause its a friday.

I won't be able to do my log, because my classes go from 6-8:30 so im completely and utterly tired by the time i get home, then after i must do my homework and some somewhat heavy lifting before i sleep.

But my muay thai classes go somewhat like this-

Shadow Boxing Warm up

Squats

Shadow Boxing

Crunches

then repeat 4x so that would probably be about 30+ minutes

We then do intense pad work, working combos, practicing kicks, elbows etc.

For most of the class

Then do bag work.

30+ minutes

We finish off with a light-hard sparring session.

until the end of class.


I then go home and get there at about 9:00pm do my homework and inbetween do 130lb squats for reps and bench 100lbs do any extra lifting that i can muster up, cause my bodies already dead by then. Do a little grip work on my CoC then go to sleep.

Careful with the weights after training hard at MT, if you can only lift then - that will have to do, but try to make time to lift before or on different days to your MT.
