2/1/12: I've been back at it in proper fashion all week so far. Pain is what I'm suffering from. Anyhow...

AM

Took my supplements, "ran" a mile, worked my neck, abs, and assorted pushups.

PM

More supplements, MMA sparring with Takedowns for an hour, Intermediate Muay Thai Class for an hour, Muay thai sparring for an hour.

On a side note: ZMA makes you remember your dreams, and my dreams are pretty disturbing. I think i like this stuff.

What is ZMA???

ZMA is a fancy term for what amounts to Vitamin B3, Zinc, and Magnesium. I "make my own" out of each individual vitamin instead of overpaying for them pre-mixed. It's basically three things that someone who works out is typically deficient in. I'll make a more detailed post in the supplements thread.
