I know it seems a little strange - but, I actually 'plan' time with my family. It was something that I had to include in the schedule. I was spending so much time training that when my two year old daughter saw me in the house, she would assume I was leaving and say, "bye bye daddy".

Something had to give... ...hence the reduced schedule.

I dont think its strange.

I write down my weekly schedule aswell becuase I never stick with the same thing every week.

Also I have nothing better to do in english class....

Excellent to see a planned work out like that Venrix!!

Tell me, in your "jogging training", are these steady states runs or do you incorporate interval training into it as well?

Also.. do you do weight training coupled with plyometric training (complex training)?

Hi Mate,

By no means are they steady state. A typical run is 10-15km. I live right next to a national park, so - theres roads, sprints up hill, cross country, up mountains, down mud slides etc. etc. Also, when I'm in the mood, I'll 'pause' the running and run through all the Kata etc (that really plays hell with your heart rate in the middle of a run).

Also.. do you do weight training coupled with plyometric training (complex training)?

My weight training is by no means 'standard'. I use weights for strength and conditioning only. I work with naked discs (no bar), sometimes with dumbells and all of the exercises are 'total body' exercises for grappling strength. Virtually all of the exercises are plyometric in nature.

My striking power comes from bag work, my grappling strength from weights. The weight training is circuit based: 1 hour divided into 40sec exercise, 20 second rest, switch exercise, do it again. In this way, strength is build up and it duplicates that 'burn out' feeling that one experiences in grappling.

The end result: I don't 'look' like a fighter - I just hit like one (if you know what I mean).

When I mean complex training, I mean this as an example

Bench press followed immediately by plyometric pushups

Squat with weights followed immediately by squat jumps etc

In other words, a weight exercise followed by a plyometric exerices a.k.a complex training

This type of training is recommended by the boxing coach/mixed martial arts coach and athlete Ross Emanait.

Its very hard and very grueling

Hi mate.

I'm aware of that. Yes, my training in complex. However, I don't do any work with barbells (ie. no bench etc). I work only with dumbells and discs.
