When I Started:
Feb, 2001
How I Started:
I started lifting weights, yoga, and working on my cardio, because I wanted to help my grappling game with increased strength, endurance, and flexibility.
Why I Love It:
It keeps me sane.
How I Stay Motivated:
I know the harder I work, the better I'll be physically, mentally, and socially.
BB Accomplishments:
I went from a skinny but untoned and rather marshmellowy 115 lbs, back in the early 2000's, to my current walking around weight of 136-140 lbs.
I ***WILL BE*** an overall excellent athlete with a strong emphasis on competitive martial arts.
Goal (Long):
I want to win my weight class in the Combatives tournament in Feb, participate in the 13 mile road march, and the 5k that are also in Feb, win my weight class in the amature boxing competiton in March, and participate in the marathon in April. Later in the year, if there is one here, I'd like to do a fitness competition.
Nothing makes me happier than physical training, any kind of training, but I'm happiest when I'm grappling (and unbalanced and miserable when I'm not).
With dedication, amazing instructors, and good old fashioned hard work; I know I can bring my game to the next level.
One day I'm going to do this for a living. It will be my whole world, my passion and my occupation, and I'll know in my heart I'm living up to my full potential.
A friend from college showed me this exercise several years ago. I used it with light weights as part of my adaptation phase when I circuit trained.
You take a preacher curl bar, with 30% to 50% of your 1RM on it. Do a set of bicep curls, but stop your movement once your arms are parallel to the marching surface (in other words, only go half way up).
When you hit #7, immediatly (without resting) do 7 more, but start from the "parallel to the marching surface position" (the position you just ended at) to the completed "up" postion (go from halfway up to all the way up).
Once you hit #7, immediatly do 7 more, with the full range of movement(all the way up, all the way down).
Be sure you practice good form, keep your elbows in, and don't arch your back (don't cheat).
Do three sets. 90 seconds rest inbetween sets.
The name "21's", comes from how many reps are in a set: 7x3=21.
I like "21"'s.

For adaption phase, I like dips. It's so versitile you can use a chair, park bench, tree stump, edge of your bunk bed at basic training, whatever, you don't need any special equipment.
To make it a little more interesting, I'll do my dips with one leg raised, or even have a partner hold my feet. For adaption phase, I like dips. It's so versitile you can use a chair, park bench, tree stump, edge of your bunk bed at basic training, whatever, you don't need any special equipment.
Wrist curls with dumbbells. If you use one of those big balance balls (the kind pilates people use for their ab workouts) you can do your curls with a higher weight than you'd usually be able to manage, using the ball to help you roll the weight up.
