Training hard and determined for VICTORY!!!!

Hurricane Cardio

Hurricane
3 sets of:
30 second sprint at 9 to 10mph followed immediately with
8 reps of deadlift curls (start with your knees on the ground with a palms up grip, hop up to a deadlift position, deadlift the weight then curl the weight, lower the weight down to the ground and back on your knees, that’s 1 rep) followed immediately with 8 overhead presses.
3 sets of:
25 second sprint at 11 to 12mph followed immediately with
8 reps of deadlift upright rows (same as the deadlift curls except you have a palms down grip and after you deadlift the weight you perform an upright row)
3 sets of:
20 second sprint as fast as you can go followed immediately with
6 single arm dumbell deadlifts (6 each arm for a total of 12 reps)
Optimum time for completion of the entire Hurricane is 14 to 16 minutes. A snorkel can be worn during the lifting portion. If using a treadmill, set the incline up all the way.

Victorious at AFC No-Gi Challenge VII

Good event held for local schools. I was slated to do a Superfight against Jarrod's best student Brandon. Brandon proved to be an apt opponent. I took an inadvertant head but to my left brow (looks pretty now) right off the bat. Brandon did well and defended every submission attempt I threw at him. The bout went the entire 10 min with me winning by points (I hate point victories) 9-2. My other team mates that competed all did well and placed in their respective divisions. It was good to have TJ there to coach me as well as have some of my family there also. Now its time for the Animal event. BTW that last pic,,,Im not giving my camera guy the bird,,Im holding my mouth piece in that hand and trying to hold up the certificate Giggle Giggle.

Confirmed on my competition this coming weekend

Well, got confirmation from Jarred the other day that he does have a Blue Belt near getting his purple (just as I am waiting for the day John thinks Im ready for my Purple) at 195 for me to compete with this weekend in a superfight at his tourney on sat Feb 7th. I told him Id do it as long as he lets me compete in the regular brackets and he was cool with it. This will be a good springboard for the Animal Fightwear Championships on the 21st. Training has been going good thanks to JC Santana from IHP in FL and my Uber Coach John Moore. He wont make this next event but my good partner and accomplished MMA fighter TJ Waldburger will and will be coaching me. Im going to be giving up about 10lbs but my training partners think I weigh alot more as Ive learned from TJ how to put all my weight onto a very small portion of my opponent.





I want to give a special shout out to fellow TX BJJ practiotioners Stephen Hall and Kelly Rundle for their awesome performances at the 2009 Europian Jiu Jitsu Championships in Portugal yesterday. Great job guys,,you are an inspiration to me and other practitioners.
