The mastermind meetings on Friday and Saturday were awesome. And then Sunday we hit Universal Studios (The Terminator show in 3D was wild!! Check it out if you get the chance!)

We hit the gym the whole time there, but on Sunday (after a rough Saturday night lol) Andy conned me into trying his Warrior Built DVD workout in the hotel.

I have been doing circuit based MMA training for a while now I said why not!  I have to say I found it fantastic and more challengin than expected.  I made it through the 5 – 5 Min Round challenge and loved it.  And it was the hell of a lot better than doing boring treadmill (which I did the 2 mornings before).

If you are looking for a challenging workout that wont take up much time & that you can do anywhere I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you give it a try!  Here is the video clip Andy took.

Please Post Up Some FEEDBACK!! THANKS

I have weights planned for Mon/Tue Thur/Fri. That’s enough.

Training :
Did 50 min of cardio with circuits. 6 – 4 minute rounds and some light training after. The rounds had 1 min break, 15 second intervals. tire & sledge, medicine ball tosses, footwork, punching, all kinds off stuff. i think I am going to get some training videos as todays circuit session was awesome!.

From 3-4 had a session with Phil Alcock at Core Health Spa. He is a great trainer, helping me focus on stretching, core work, stability, and a lot of things I dont like to train on my own.

We focused a LOT on TRX straps. These are fantastic and i HIGHLY reccomend them. We have added a a set to Bushido to use for our own training and for working with my clients. I expected just a lot of stretching but we got a good workout in also.  This took the good out of me.

I was suppose to have MMA class tonight, but I decided to take it easy and rest.  My back is real achy and I want to try to get 2 workouts in tmrw for sure.

Nutrition & Supplements :

Good food again all day.  Kept the carbs pretty low. Used normal supplements, BCAA’s, ZMA, Fish Oil, Protein powder etc.

Overall : Had a good day except for tweaking my back which put me out of commision for wed night training which really sucked.  Oh well, i know what exercises I should avoid and I was stupid so that’s what I get.

Lesson Learned Today : Know the differece between good pain and bad pain.  Good pain you can work through, bad pain you can’t.  Be smart in the gym.
