Ya Salty, I did rest and just laid about. I just find it hard to do now that I have a routine. Feel like I'm being lazy. Am going to look into the L-glutamine this week.

A question for you HitmanDonny, if you see this. You talk of working your weight down to the 147lb class for regular fighting for next year. I am curious about this because our heights and weighs are very similar right now. Wondering what your reasoning in for this. Also if you feel it will be a trade off in power etc. From the charts i've seen that is a bit light for your height.

Basically I don't think I have much say in the matter as to me moving up in weight classes. I would like to be fighting in the 140-147 class but I'm growing fast, grew almost a foot in the last year and 1/2 in height and the weight just comes with it. I am going to try to stay at no more then 155 for a bit, but heck I come from a family of tall people and most say I should prob. be at min. 6'3" quickly, and likely taller. I might have no say but to be fighting in the heavier classes as I get to be 16 yrs + old or so, but for now gonna try to keep as light as possible without giving up power.
