run up hill behind home - didnt set new watch properly on ascent - no time or HRs, but it was a struggle to begin with so time probably slower than usual.

I love running this hill, especially this time of year, very green, muddy, heaps of fauna, plenty of roos today and wedge tails - did get a little stressful - loads of cows and bulls and some of them were unfazed by my "go one git" in fact it seemed to get under the skin of a couple of em who started to give chase, thankfully on the descent

25.08.08

Wasnt going to train today because all day i could feel attach point of R vastus lateralis and had a pain the entire length of the muscle. Anyway after 15 minutes of light rowing it felt good so took training, joined in and completed the following.

WU included some light med ball drills, JJs, Split jumps, jumps from knees to feet and mobility drills

Paired up participants and then worked for 2 min sets with 30 sec rest which was a hover or side hover at the end of each set. Thai pads L/R combo, L/R/L combo, L/R/L upper cut, L/L/R, L/R elbow.
Finished with various ab drills

That was 5-6 pm.
From 6 - 7pm participated in MMA class.
Grappling drills, throwing & take down drills.
Light sparring focusing on take down and G & P. It was at this point that i began to wish i had listened to my body earlier on. Suffered a slight R knee injury, a bloodied nose and the 6 foot 6 unco boney kid corked my right calf muscle with an ungainly and awkward kick. My calf muscle are just about the biggest muscles i own and it fn hurt. Oh and my R hip flared up from Saturdays activities.

This is the quandary i face. These injuries will now have an effect on KB training and it pisses me off. Do i stop MMA training?

myles kenihan
26-08-2008, 09:40 AM
Having done a bit of the same I can sympathise. Injuries are a reality of most sports and especially contact ones. Kettlebell and other resistance training should and, in my own experience, does reduce the incidence. You're still going to wear a few. I think the adage less is more applies here dude.

abowe
26-08-2008, 09:52 AM
I can also sympathise. I have trained on and off boxing and martial arts for years and ended up giving it away, except for the very occasional bag session. Old bodies don`t recover very quickly and injure easily. The problem with Martial Arts is that a large part of your training (and potential success)is about conditioning, which includes getting repeatedly struck, thrown etc. I suppose it all depends on what you like the most, fitness or MMA?

jd
26-08-2008, 10:43 PM
I hear you guys, and i need to decide whether to continue with the MMA. I can hear 40 knocking and i certainly dont recover like i did. The guys i train with are trying to talk me into a c class shooto competition so maybe ill do that and then call it quits

In saying all of that pulled up today feeling surprisingly good, if not a little tired

Afternoon walk 30 minutes with 4.5kg vest then 2 x 2 mins gravity boots hang/hang from bar. 1 x 50 keg rotations, 2 x 5 gorilla ups, 2 x 10 gravity boots sit up, 2 x 10 sb rollaway, plank circuit wearing vest 30 secs - front, side, front, side, 2 x 10 L/R 6kg CB swings, 2 x 10 L/R birddog,

myles kenihan
27-08-2008, 03:39 PM
Not quite the argument I was making. If you love the sport then there's now a great amount of literature and advice on how to supplement your MMA training with S&C work - Power behind the Punch, just as an example, was intended for boxers ( actually more so their trainers ) but the program ( a fusion of P2P, RKC, H2H and BPA elements ) is pretty generic. I think you could do much worse for Shooto, Pankration etc. The point is that you want to exemplify the S&C work which contributes to your skill training - which itself must become more physically and morally demanding if you want to compete - without impinging on same due to over-tiredness, injury and certainly time constraints etc...

I had same problem with wrists on the front squat. If you persist with kettlebell lifting you and want to get into Olympic lifting then you'll have to work on wrist flexibility. If you don't have any plans on serious Olympic lifting or barbell complexes which combine cleans and squats you might consider changing to the cradle style front squat.

QL is on fire this morning, making me angry and testy. Decide to complete todays scheduled hill run as its to be the last before Saturdays run

Heaps of glute stuff to warm up and its still achey

First climb took 19 seconds off of PB - now 12:42 - max hr 178 ave = 163

Was really aiming to beat PB on Saturday, todays run came as a bit of a surprise, hopefully havent peaked too early

Leading into this month i had really dropped off the conditioning work since the start of the new year so to take 19 seconds off of PB after 3 months of little running did surprise me.

I put some pictures of the hill here

I use it a lot at home on the bag and we use it at the club too. Bas calls out combinations, sprawls etc. I think theres about 7 cds in a set. You get used to them pretty quick if you use them regularly and find yourself throwing combos before he calls them out

Up until the last couple of months i had not fully committed to girevoy sport. I made the decision to commit to it and decided to attend the weekends workshop in Sydney with Vasily Ginko.

I have now been completely bitten by the GS bug.

Such an awesome athlete i have never seen, a man mountain with the endurance of a marathon runner and humble to boot

I learnt more about the burdenings with kett lebells and the use of the caviar muscle of the legs over the weekend than i have in the past 4 years. I will now be undertaking much pelting on the chest

In 3 days we trained constantly, following the first day i was sore, particularly the traps, the following day all i felt was fatigue, little DOMS. I left the venue immediately following testing and embarked on what turned out to be about an 8 hour journey home. I am a little tender in the traps and tired, otherwise i cannot believe how well my body feels today

Testing was a challenge, there were no freebies handed out here, you had to work for your cert; a prospect that many feared and were not happy about

I congratulate the host, Vasily Ginko and those that attended and completed the testing

Anyone keen on heading to Latvia?

Anyway 21.07.09 i completed a Kata with some clients

Jamie - I too am a bit confused as to where next? Seems like we are starting afresh. I did a half baked session and finished with just a big swing set , but done differently to usual. At the end of most working days my brain's had it & I'm not sharp enough for a full kata. Requires a lot of concentration, I guess it becomes easier with practise like everything. But often I'm grateful for the simplicity & effectiveness of jerks and snatches...

AM

feeling pretty tired today, took quite a few hours to recover from yesterdays session

did a kata from Ginko workshop with clients, just used a 12kg KB

26.07.09

Have decided to take it easy for the next 2-3 weeks as far as intensity goes. Im going to check my ego in at the door and use the 12kg kb a lot. Over the past 12 months have developed a few little glitches in technique and will use the 12kg to iron those out. This will also allow me to train a couple of times a day when time permits.

Will also be focusing on quite a bit of feet together work as i try and improve the strength of my upper/mid back

I will mix in timed rack and OH holds to assist with the jerk down the track

12.00PM

20-25 minutes juggling, snatch technique work with the 12kg

5.00PM

3 x 20 x 2 x 16 kb Swing O/S legs, feet together
5 x 20 x 2 x 16 kb Swing into high pull, O/S legs, feet together

1 min each of split jumps, lateral lunges, hindu squats

20 minutes non stop (except for the occasional slip) juggling, snatch technique with the 12

The 12kg is also a smart choice for starting out juggling. The tendons and ligaments of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers need time to adapt to the stress placed on them due to the fact that i am a shit juggler (at the moment)

Why did you start using the caffeine and why did you decide to stop? Did it help with your training?

jd
13-08-2009, 10:14 PM
I started using it to help with training. I have used it sparingly in the past, for one off events to improve endurance, with good results. This time though i started using it before every training session. Initially to good effect, however, i believe its regular use is detrimental to training.

I also started using it at work as a pick me up. I started drinking coffee and i have never done that before. Im pretty sensitive to the stuff and i found i was using it to get through the day.

I decided to stop cause i just recognised i was using it far too much. I was on a feeling goooddd then feeling shit rollercoaster. As with any stimulant the body adapts and then you need more and im a sucker for that. This is most likely why it became detrimental to training

As you know its not good for the nervous system to be jacked up like that all the time. I am also wondering whether its use has something to do with a recent spate of soft tissue complications. Time will tell but i do feel better already

I see in your log that you do Bas Rutten's work-out every now and then, what is it? is it worthwhile doing?

Cheers

Even longer suffering Saints supporter. Shouldve worn HR monitor during game, wouldve been an interesting exercise

Jamie, if the 10km run didn't take your mind off the grand final loss, try dropping the 32kg KB on your toes a few times. I think that would do the job :) (just trying to be helpful).

snatch test - bombed
133 reps with the 16. Completed 92 reps on the right in the first 5 minutes. Then only completed 41 reps on the left in 3 minutes and had to put the bell down. Felt very fatigued and failed to focus on one rep at a time. Also having trouble with throwing the bell over the palm to the fingers in the left hand, keeps squashing calluses

15 minutes rest

Tried to make up for poor showing with the snatch and attempted a OAJ set. The plan was to use one hand change. After the first minute re assessed and changed hands on the minute.
153 reps x 20kg

Overall disappointing effort. I know training was too heavy leading into the comp sets but still disappointed

Was in New Zealand looking for a place to train, rang around a few gyms in the New Plymouth area. Discovered a place called Studio Athletica in the phone book, when i rang and asked the bloke whether they accepted casual visitors he said "well not really plus we train with alternative equipment like kettlebells and gymnastics rings so dont know if youd be interested anyway". Woohoo you fn beauty!

After a bit of a chat the owner kindly allowed me to visit his training facility in New Plymouth. The place is decked out nicely, plenty of KBs, squat racks, rings, punch bags, power bands, thick bars etc etc

Turns out that the owner, Dean Jolly, was NZs first RKC (at the same time as Don Stevenson completed his) and is still a passionate kettlebell user. Turns out that Dean also enjoys a chat so didnt get as much done as i would have liked but it was still a good session and was great to meet Dean

Some timed sets of cleans, snatches, LCCJ, and a few general conditioning drills

Thanks to Dean for allowing me the opportunity to use his facility. If anyones in the area check out the joint, its a 24/7 private gym. Deans spent 2 years getting the place together and it really is sweet...bro

yeah woah. i thought me hitting 180 during stairclimbing (jogging up) was high. it's good to know it's ok to go a bit higher. when exactly does your heart explode ?

i'll have to try wearing my heart rate monitor during GS sessions. hadn't thought of doing that

anyhoo. jd shall henceforth be known as Mr Intensity :D

luro, its not unusual for people to hit these highs. I have discussed this with some guys from ECU and WAIS and its not uncommon for elite level athletes to hit and maintain HRs of 220.

A couple of years ago AFL telecasts included an update of the HR monitors the players were wearing. Some of the midfield guys were reaching 195+ and maintaining that for considerable time

disclaimer I certainly dont put myself in the elite class

the only problem with a watch during GS is it can get a little uncomfortable with the bell on the watch and lets face it (pardon the pun), its uncomfortable enough as it is
