Introduction & General Thoughts Another hard day comes to an end. On days like this one, being on the [Warrior Diet] proves invaluable. You see, my schedule was extremely tight today. I was either training, at the university, or on the way from one place to the other. The below table sums up what I … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part XIII weiterlesen

The [Open European Championships] are closing in with at a tremendous pace - just 10 more days to go until weigh-in (oct. 26th), 12 until the fights (oct. 28th). Oddly enough, this was also what today's training was all about - pace.You see, I'm certainly not going to be the fastest guy in my weight … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part XII weiterlesen

12 more days to go, not counting today. When it comes to my rib, I've decided to heed Barney Stinson's avice: "Whenever I feel sick, I stop being sick and be awesome instead". So, I just stopped being injured and now I'm awesome instead. This almost works...In any case, I started my day with a … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part XI weiterlesen

So let's start this one with the videos I promised you [the other day]. It's just the final rounds of sparring, it's shaky and it's certainly not in high definition, but it'll have to do - I'm pretty sure video quality will improve once I figured out how to operate all that stuff... TodaySince I … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part X weiterlesen

The [European Championships] are closing in with huge steps. Still, there's some work to be done until then... YesterdayWednesday was rather harcore in terms of training volume, so yesterday I took it rather easy. Before teaching in the afternoon, I did 10 three-minute rounds of shadow-sparring. As always, I set technical goals for most of … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part IX weiterlesen

I already said it in [this post], but this bears repeating: I hate running. But before I rant on, allow me to quickly recap what's been going on over the last few days. Since I [hurt my rib] and then [hurt it again], I've been on a reduced training regime. Can't do anything that puts … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part VIII weiterlesen

Slept for approximately 12 hours - still, when I got up, I felt devastated.Therefore, I skipped today's scheduled interval training and hopped right into 6 rounds of sparring at the end of my advanced class. Planned on doing another two, but then my ribs were just killing me, so six had to suffice.Weighed in at … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part VII weiterlesen

Failed at the weights. Failed hard. I didn't want to admit it, but things are realy going south in terms of recovery. Probably need to take a step back.You see, today I hit the gym for my last workout in the current 5/3/1 cycle. Clean & Jerk for explosive power, bench pressing for upper body … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part VI weiterlesen

Took Chris' class for some technique practice and sparring today. At the end of the session, it was three rounds of sparring á 3 minutes. In the third round, I got kneed to the ribs, which wasn't particularly convenient, considering the fact that I got slammed [the other day] and still haven't fully recovered.

I hate running. 100 meter sprints are ok, but when it comes to medium distances (i.e. 400 and 800 meters), that's where it ain't fun anymore in my book. Of course, this statement didn't come to my mind without a reason - to train lactace tolerance, we did interval sprints today. We did the sprints … Way to the TKDI EC 2012, Part IV weiterlesen
