Ah, I wish I was 40 again . . . your whole life’s ahead of you. Fascinating workouts.
Thanks Cavalier. I’m just realising how little time we all have.
Tonight went back to the dependable Bas Rutten workout- 10 x 2 min rounds of the all round fighting CD. I wore my gum shield whilst training and it made the training way harder, I had to take it out after 8 rounds. I intend to keep wearing the gum shield during conditioning training as I’ll have to wear one to compete.

Tuesday 8th:
2 hours training mma at Leicester Shootfighters.
Clinch work
Kicking inc. technical sparring.
Back mount escapes.
Great to be back on the mat after the Christmas break. Also had a good discussion with the coach about fighting later this year. Got some good advice, mapped out what training I need to do and discussed some ideas about dropping weight.
Jan 9th
Strength work
5/3/1 swissbar bench up to 10 x 65kg superset with inverted rows to failure
3 x 10 x 40kg Kroc rows.
Timely thread for me. Been doing BB stuff lately, had a bicep tear an am building myself up again at 42.
My gym has as kick-ass MMA section, though. Dominated by Azerbaijani wrestlers, those guys can really kick just about anybodys’s ass. I still really want to join, although it’s prob. a really bad idea for a former TKD/Karate/BB guy with bad knees 
Good wrestlers are seriously tough dudes.
Last night was going to train floor to ceiling ball but the elastic was mullered so scrapped it after three rounds. Circuit instead, something different:
100 punch punchout on heavy bag
Sandbag clean and press x 8
barbell anti-rotation twist X 10
Sandbag row x 8
Sprawl + 4 punch combo x 10
Sandbag get-up x 8
100 punch punchout on heavy bag
Twice through aiming for speed.
14th Jan:
Foam roll - lots on the IT bands.
Shadow boxing warm up + Mobility work.
Dumbbell snatches 5 x 5 up to 32kg
5/3/1 trapbar deadlifts up to 8 x 132kg. Left a little in the tank as I’ve got 2 hours of MMA tomorrow.
Also, I’ve posted a review of last year’s training on my blog for those who are interested :mozilla_cool: .
