1. Its great to see the effect this blog is having. I walked into
the Jits room at the griphouse to find 5-6 guys rolling around on
various implements improving their soft tissue quality.
Here is the last part of our SMR (self myofascial release) routine. Thorasic mobilisation on a home made peanut thingy.
The penut thing is basically two tennis balls covered in zinc oxide
tape. The gap in the middle is a bit more forgiving on your spine.
The sound of gunshots in the background is James smashing stuff.
2. I was listening to the Fitcast yestertday and Fat Loss Expert Leigh Peele said
something that really stuck with me. Some one had asked about whether
eating a certain food (like doughnuts or summit) was bad or not.
Leigh mentioned that it probably would not do anything too
catistrophic but it certainly wouldnt do anything good for you. For me
this was a new concept, looking at what i could get from the food i ate
as opposed to the harm it could do.
I know that when im eating better i train better. If I hit up Where the Monkey Sleeps
for lunch and order Taxi for Brown and the french toast and a coke and
a kurgan and a piece of rocky road the size of my head chances are I’ll
be in an insulin driven coma in 30 mins.
If I eat some chicken and green beans I might just be able to train
the several times a day that this fight camp requires and not get
beaten to death. Great incentive there.
3. I am off to Newcastle this weekend to corner Mark Connor at the Strike and Submit show and to check out the functional training summit being
hosted by Nick Grantham and Robert Dos Remedios when all thats done ill
be heading to SBG UK Headquarters to pick Karl Tanswell’s massive mma
brain. This should be a fun weekend of knowledge and violence.
4. Am I the only one that thought that Anderson Silva retaining his
title at the highest level of the sport while basically fucking about
and not getting hit in the face was hilariously funny? Yeah thought i
was the only one.
5. And after seeing the best film ever last night Crank 2 High Voltage i think ill be going with Amy Smart as todays Girl
