A new direction

Originally, I had planned on focusing primarily on school and work when I got out here, and let MMA fall to the wayside. However, just as always, the damn sport pulled my ass back in. The first month here kinda sucked, I get stressed out pretty easy when it comes to money issues, and driving across the country, bringing with me only what I could cram into my little Toyota Corolla (minus room for Rebecca and Baby Girl haha) didn’t help much. After buying a new bed, computer, and pretty much everything else besides clothes, my damn student loan was already making my heart hurt haha. So when an offer for a fight came, I had no other option.

Hadn’t trained in 3 months, so I figured I better at least tryand train a bit before the fight. I ended up getting conencted with a solid gym – Island MMA. They have a sweet coach, who is an active pro fighter, and a bunch of really solid fighters under him. The training was great, all 3 times I went haha. But it’s just not really my thing anymore. I figured why bother at this point, let’s just go out there and have fun, see what I can do eh.

Shit actually turned out pretty good haha. I missed weight by a couple pounds, but that’s my own damn fault, didn’t start cutting until 3 days prior to weigh ins, and had about 25lbs to go haha. Not bad for being in a rush if ya ask me. And surprisingly enough I won the fight! hahaha. Not only that, but it was even considered the fight of the night, hilarious I know. I’m just so bloody amazing hahaha.

But enough about that crap, let’s get back on track here! A new direction. Like how it takes me 3 paragraphs to actually get to the point? Jesus! Anyways, I’m going to take my blog in a new direction. Well I’m going to make a half-assed attempt at it anyway. My goal is to use myself as a guinea pig for strength and size training, experimentwith various training principals, methods, and programs, and see what happens. Take my findings from that, toss in a few anecdotes, and post em here. As per usual, I’m of course going to get completely side-tracked, and also come up with a ridiculous supply of idiotic rants and ramblings, all of which I will be happy to share (I hope both my readers enjoy them, haha).

Well here’s hoping this experiment works out, wish me luck!
