The times seems to have passed very quickly. Its already two weeks before my first MMA fight. Through that time, I've gone through the lows of feeling I'm not ready but now I'm feeling confident. At the very least I know, regardless of the outcome, I did my best to prepare.
I've been told I'm "wasting my time" training.
But you see, time wasted, time lost, time rediscovered, and time regained are the four lines of time. We are mainly within time lost: time which alters persons and things, which makes them pass. I'm working on reveling in the fact that I am here...surrounded by these people...with the opportunity to step into a cage in front of the crowd and begin step one of my dream. Can I ask for anything more?
The past couple days I've been doing cardio and technique mostly. Thanks to Garrett, I've been using the gas mask to make cardio more difficult. Today, I brought it to the Dog Pound and did 3 five minute rounds on the bag also wearing a weighted vest. Jumped rope for 5 minutes as well.
I'm trying to train myself to adapt to lack of Oxygen (ideally mimicking that panicked adrenaline rush I get during a real fight). The other day Marina and I did this circuit:
5 rounds of:
-20 squat jumps
-Bear Crawl down and back following a straight line (harder than it sounds!)
-10 Depth Pushups
-20 Split Jumps
-10 Ab Wheel Roll Outs
I'm heading out to Golds again for workout number 2. Circuit training then finishing with some cardio. I'll update this in a few hours.
