NO REST FOR THE WICKED!

[PTinCHCH]

ok, i give up fighting it!

ive recently got back into training after being down four months from a hip operation :evil:

ive been fighting my arse off to get my weight down with cardio and circut based training, as i am regestered to compete in the next supremacy in auckland, and the weight devision i was aiming to get was light heavy weight. between 84kilo and 93kilo.

i think the last time i was 93kilo would have been when i was about 18, so as you could imagine its quite a mission!

anyways, i weighed myself after training last night and i was at 97.3 kilo. im strugling enough to get the weight down, but as i workout the fat is dropping but im increasing muscle.

hense, i give up fighting it.

soooooo, now ive decided, f*ck it, im gona bulk up and try get to the 105-110kilo mark.

i need some meat cos these boys im fighting are BIG 115-120+ and they can do some damage!

unfortunately im a poor student, so my income for food is a bit fucked. il just have to make do with fueling on whatever i can find i gues!

havent got weights yet, just finished writing it up. will sus my weights out and put them up.

well breaking down my muscles and expecting to keep up with my more "important" training seems to not be going too well.

i will have to go back to circuit based weights training.

focusing primarily on muscular endurance.

will kick it back off in the new year and adopt a strength phase too at some stage.

my training has been rough this week with weights training during the day and cardio based in the evening. i have been fatigued and sore.

so im going to cut hypertrophy for the time being and focus solely on my priority.

my week structure:

Mon- 1 hour Muay Thai, 1 hour MMA

Tuesday - 1 hour Ju Jitsu

Wed - 1 hour Muay Thai

Thursday - 1 hour Ju Jitsu, 1 hour SAMBO

Friday - 1 hour CrossFit

Saturday - 1 hour Muay Thai, 1 hour MMA

Sunday - REST!!!

these martial arts training days are intensive. every day i push to the verge of throwing up, and then some! so its not fucking around. very physical and very challenging.

each day i also do around 30 - 45 mins cycling, as ive adopted this as my primary mode of transport.

my old structure used to have an hour hypertrophy style training on mon,tue,thur,fri. but breaking down muscle and then trying to use them diddnt exactly work in my favor.
