Training Log: Entry 003

Rededicated myself to training. Began by gauging my stamina, which has been reduced by 70%. I can get back in gear within five days.

Abdominals in pain after doing burpees and shadowboxing rounds with sprawls. I don’t know why, but I made the pain complete by destroying my lower abs.

Will be doing more lower body conditioning and cardio.

Formal Training Recommences

Since I have finished all work for today, it is time to begin training once again.

I shall have mostly anaerobic on MWF then aerobic on TThS, just like always. If Saturdays are occupied, then I do both anaerobic and aerobic for Sunday with a brutal menu. Main focus will be exceeding the stamina level I had last November, get down to around 8% body fat or lower, building core and lower body strength, and finally getting to do a full split.

I begin training now.

Wasting Time

It seems like school and work is really distracting me from the most important task: training. I am five months behind now with no additional progress other than some improved dynamic flexibility. There hasn’t been major progress on my part.

I have to have at least three days of full-on training to get me back to my basic strength. I’ll have to really prioritize that for the next week. Without it, I don’t think I can survive much longer.

Weak and Powerless

I’m getting softer by the minute. I haven’t been training seriously lately. Sure, there are the occasional push-ups, burpees, squats, sit-ups, and stretches, but nothing more and not in sets. I have to get back to my condition back in October of last year and exceed it. I have to do that by July.

I need to ready myself.

Training Log: Entry 002

The lower back pain isn’t bothering me as much now, so I was able to train a bit more. I was able to last a bit longer now and squeezed out an extra round. What is still holding me back though is my diet. My mother had been cooking fried chicken, and me being the frugal bastard that I am, I ate it all up. I even had donuts earlier in the afternoon. I really got to stop taking in shit like that.

More liquids, less solids. Less fat, more protein. Some tea drink would do wonders as well. I really have to keep this in mind at all times. Discipline will be what takes me to my goal of good conditioning and a future in the fight game.

My conditioning and flexibility. Those are the two things that I really have to work on. It has now set in that I am an ambidextrous striker that can hit with both hands due to my JKD training. The only thing left in that department is to clean up my footwork, especially in my left stance.

That is all for now. May I will be able to train in the gym by Sunday or so.
