I'm trying to stay at 185 or go up to 190.. I eat about 4-6 big meals a day.. after about 2 weeks ill start going to the gym just to do dead lifts, squats, dips n pullups with weights n shoulder shrugs (4 plates on each side for 10 reps).. just heavy lifting and the p90x for burn n tone..

sorry...I wasn't meaning to sound like I was telling you what to do. I just know some people though who have made that mistake over and over again. They try to loose weight and get frustrated because they work so hard but they don't see that it's their eating habits that are (weight wise) holding them in the same place.

Its cool..  I didn't take it any way..   even though I haven't kept up with it, I use to be a trainer and study nutrition.. hence the sig quote about the wife..

back at 'em!  (I suppose we need a workout smiley for this thread alone).

February was my rest month.  Later in March I have an easy 5k, then I'll sit and watch an aerobics class.

Any time! 

Just got back from my tournament and took 3rd.  I sprained my knee in the bracket before so I knew it was going to be a rough one.  I almost had my opponent (fight for 2nd place) with a cross collar choke but the ref stood us back up, in which case, he slammed me into next week.   

It was a good day though!  Now I need to heal up the knee and train. 

wait you dont eat carbs after workout? I carb bomb before my workouts (50-60grams of complex carbs from oatmeal, sweet potatoes or watever i can get my hands on at the momment) and i also do some carbs afterwords (like 20grams).

I was doing 30gram carbs before work outs and i just felt sluggish. with 50-60, even 70 grams (my favorite is honey with oatmeal) i feel much better.

bulldogs2k, sounds pretty bad ass! 3rd is just motivation to be better! sprained knees suck. I had a sprained toe that only is now beginning to heal (3 months). I pretty much had to lock it up with tape every day and i stopped kicking entrirely just to stay away from the possibiliy of a rogue hit.

I took my stresses out from work on the road today and put in just over 20 miles on my road bike. Now that I've got my new bike all dialed in, I was flying. Over the 20 miles I maintained an average speed of 21mph. It was outrageous - on hill climbs where I had been climbing at 13-15mph I was at 18-20mph!  

From a fitness standpoint, I did learn something interesting - because of the lighter weight of my new bike (18lbs down from 23lbs), I was able to go faster with less effort than before. So rather than burn 1200 or so calories, I only burned 830! This was actually something that I hadn't anticipated and pretty cool. That result tells me that there's more than enough room for improvement with my new steed to work harder and go faster!

My ultimate goal this year is to complete at least several races in platinum time - which depending on the distance, can mean holding an average speed of 24mph or better. While that's faster than where I'm at now, when you're riding with the peloton is much easier thanks to drafting. If I could do that, I think that would put me at a performance level able to compete with CAT 1 or 2 level cyclists.

Ultimatly, it was an exhilarating ride, a beautiful day, and a great stress reliever!

I don't feel like I'm training if I don't have at least one broken toe... I'm not sure I'd be able to fight.

Most recently, I fired a middle round kick into my pad holder's elbow. His bad - wrong hold for the technique.  Regardless, the small bones on the top of my right foot took the hit.  It's about four colors and roughly the size of a football. It should make training today pretty interesting.

Haha I just went through that last november.  The wrestling mats where too soft, resulting in a sprained toe.  Lower extremity injuries SUCK!
