Background

When I Started: Jun 2010
HOW I STARTED:

I was an "on-off" weightlifter throughout high school and college. Mostly for Martial Arts & Football. Now I'm consistent and dedicated to keeping my body in peak conditioning because I am a competitive combat athlete (tournaments and hopefully amateur kickboxing shortly) and I like to be a source of inspiration for my fitness training / wellness clients

WHY I LOVE IT:

I love pushing my body to the limit and breaking barriers. I love learning new things and trying new techniques. And of course...the attention doesn't hurt either.

Tournament training program (3 Mesocylces)

I've modified a program that Dr. Hatfield used in training Evander Holyfield. I'm using the program to help me get ready for The Wong People Int'l Kung Fu tournament to be held in June 2012. I started this program in April 2012 and will end it on Jul 1. It's a 12 week program seperated in 3 mesocycles (4 weeks each). I've combined it with the a zig-zag diet to minimize/neutralize fat gain while maximizing muscle gain. My goal is to reduce my weight from about 187 to 179-182 lbs. My current BF is between 11% and 12%. My goal is to be between 9% and 10%. The first mesocycle is geared towards Hypertrophy. The second is to increase limit strength and the third is to focus on sports specific exercises and increasing muscular endurance. I will continue to update this program at the beginning of each Mesocylce.

Training to be a champion

Posted in Training  :  Mar 24, 2012 7:31am
This is my first post! I've decided to blog because I want written documentation of the methods that I used to become an amateur martial arts tournament champion. I have my first tournament of the year next Saturday. I plan on winning that too, but the BIG FIGHT is on 6/24/12, exactly 12 weeks from next week. Here, I plan on documenting my conditioning program and methods that will hopefully get me the gold and the trophy. I'm already in fairly decent conditioning. I've spent the past 6 weeks getting ready for next week's tournament. I've come down from 198.4 lbs to 189.4 lbs, dropped at least...
