Iceman's log

monday sept 10 went to gym, spent 20 minutes stretching sore shoulder and legs

4 rounds on speed bag to warm up

sprint training for speed and anaerobic endurance...noticed that i am not fast, bu
t breathing much easier,wind is coming back much quicker...
now the fun, 20 minutes of jumping rope, no break...

3 rounds of shadow boxing, am suffering a repetitive use injury to left
hand, trainer agrees that i need to rest it a bit.

at home, soak left hand in bucket of ice water for 20 painful minutes...
curiously the hand feels much improved and i spend sept 11 resting it and my
muscle cramps



i am Bryan, i weigh about 194 lbs, have a body fat at about 18% now and seek to drop some weight...i am male, and right handed...old also but only i will know just how old. am seeking a fight and am tuning up after a long injury and work lay off....[/color]color=red][/color]

i seem to have forgot the medicine ball routines after the running and jump rope...catch and squat then high throw, and twisting passes along with push passes at chest level for about 10 minutes...doesn't sound like much, but seemed that way at the time..

Sept 13

not much of a day really, just 5 rounds of jump rope and then a 2 mile run, which i sadly couldn't finish...muscles in my calf just were too gassed. lungs felt fine, but the shins killed themselves...
then 3 rounds on speed bag and stretching...sigh maybe tomorrow

sept 20....


sigh this is sad

warmed up, stretched and hit speed bag for 4 rounds...heavy bag for 2 rounds and ope for 24 minutes two sets of 45 crunches and called it a day...just felt gassed..tired

sept 21


felt good coming in, but still just conditioning...

stretched and hit speed bag for 4 rounds to warm up....then hit heavy bag for 2 rounds...3 rounds on the pads with my trainer and discovered to my horror that my timing totally blew...oh yeah can't forget the almighty jump rope...24 minutes no break, legs felt like lead afterwards but i am noticing improvement...then 4 rounds on the heavy bag and a quick stretch and off to home....i need to work on getting my feet and hands moving together more and start nailing my distance.....gotta make that trainers arm feel it when i hit...any foot work drills would be nice...

sept 30


bad times in the in the last couple days,lost a car to repo man,how? esp. when you make almost $30 an hour? theyd idn't credit my payment...typical...anyway a lot of psychological stress issues so not much gym time however i did work on conditioning


chest press set 1 30 reps set 2 20 reps set 3 20 reps set 4 10 reps

rows,same sets

curls same sets

triceps curl same sets

rear deltoids same sets

leg press same sets

calf press same sets

ab curls with 90 lbs set 1 30 reps set 2 20 reps set 3 10 reps at 110 lbs

ab twists same as above but weight was lighter


all weights were fairly light, working for endurance in muscles...except the set of ten was at a high weight that i could barely get...little strenght builder...

protelytic enzymes seem to be working as well as cissus and fish oil, DOMS is at a bare minumum
and i feel encouraged and mentallt recharged..finally now by mid week goal is to get into the gym, soon i will be ready to spar endurance wise...

this is one round goal do 7 rounds for time...i hit 19 min 37 seconds...sad but my shoulders are burning

then Thai workout

5 min round on pads just 123 combo over and over till ya could puke it
5 minutes of bob and weave
5 minutes of rear leg roundhouse kick...not the hardest workout, but a nice get back into a new week start...

today was truly easy because of stupid work...
12 noon bjj class, lots of dynamic movement drills to help you move... then drilling the omaplata and then a quick spar went ok initially,got caught in an armbar and with help of gravity and a scramble couldn't tap till i heard and felt the first pop...sigh. the rule is one moth per pop, and 4-6 pops being the norm...almost 2 hours later, and it seems like minimal damage was done. i will know for sure tomorrow morning...sigh

seem to have disproved the rule of pops, back and mostly ready, got to watch the elbow for a bit but electro and ice and heat helped speed healing enough. now i am fighting a damn cold that oddly keeps me up all hours. i feel that as the new year rolls in and my gym gets back on track i will be ok.this week will be easy, mostly just some private workouts with my Thai coach...
