Less than a week until Bushido Challenge now so things have slowed down for me. Hard training is all done now i'm just drilling specific stuff and doing a little bit extra cardio to help bring my weight down.
Im not really a superstitious person, i don't have lucky shorts, don't get mad haircuts before fights, i don't even really bother with entrance music but i know training is going well when i start feeling certain things during preparation. For example i'm fed up with training, cant bare to look at boxing gloves, thai pads, weights, i'm fed up with rolling all i want to do is fight. This is good for me, its like déjà vu to when i've performed best in the past so i'm happy with that.
My diet has kicked up a notch recently, im dropping down to around a 1000 calories a day which is half the RDA for a normal person, never mind an active athlete. Im not eating much in the way of carbs and between that and some natural pre-fight anxiety im a moody crabbit fucker to be around just now. My weight is right on schedule for the friday weigh in, so the final bit of the cut shouldn't be to drastic.
I mentioned last week that id post up my programme for this fight camp, this is it it:
Mondays: Morning 4 mile run. Afternoon sledge hammer/tractor tyre work out. Evening Lifting set with plyos or hillsprints.Boxing pads/drill/spar
Tuesdays: Morning 4 mile run. Afternoon density circuit. 5 min rounds push press/pull up.Kettlebell snatch/burpees/chin up. Evening circuit Thai pads then BJJ session.
Wednesdays: Morning. Pads with wrestling. Afternoon. Lifting and plyos. Evening. Bjj session
Thursday: Morning. Sparring Thai, Shoot boxing, Rolling. Evening. Circuit training Thai session
Friday: Morning Pads with wrestling. Afternoon. Force development work. Evening. MMA sparring
Saturday: Team sparring session or day OFF
Sunday: Team Sparring or day OFF. Evening session Pads then BJJ session
There is a fair amount of adaptation to this that would takes ages to explain, for example the lifting session i done changed from strength to force development 2 weeks out, rounds and sparring build up gradually to week 4 then came down again, as did the number of rounds i done at the team sparring sessions.
Guess il see if it pays off on saturday.
