I've run many logs here, but never one strictly about fight prep. Instead of just focusing on my lifts, running times, etc, I will be providing details about sleep, conditioning sessions, grappling, sparring, etc. I don't diet down to my fighting weight anymore, I pretty much cruise around within cutting range, so my diet will not a topic of major concern. Actually, I am the rare fighter that adds calories while preparing for a fight. I will answer any and all questions about what I eat, but I will not be recording my meals.
Here is the breakdown:
Mon-Arms/Delts, MMA
Tues-Lower/Core, Conditioning, BJJ
Wed-Cardio, MMA
Thur-Chest/Back, conditioning
Fri-Cardio
Sat-MMA, Power/Core
MMA consists of full sparring with takedowns, subs, etc
Cardio is a 3-5 mile run, depending on energy/injury levels
Conditioning is 5, 5-minute rounds of various circuits (e.g. burpees, jump rope, shadow boxing)
Supplements
AP-3/day
Pslin-1 pre-WO
RPM-3, 30 minutes before lifting
BCAAs-20g pre/peri-WO
SuperCarb-25g pre/peri-WO
HEAT-3 caps pre-WO
Chocamine-300mg as needed
Magnesium-200mg before bed
Poseidon-3 scoops/day
Ecdy-500mg/day
ON Whey-40g post lifting
It seems like a lot (ok, it is), but am fortunate to have some help along the way, so there is very little financial burden on me. I am 27 days out as of today from fighting and 26 days before weigh-ins. My cardio is good enough to make it through 3 rounds, but I want to be able to push the pace of the fight the entire time. Injuries are pretty low right now, just a little pain in my right knee and shoulder, but nothing debilitating or restrictive.
