The situationMy shoulder has been giving me severe issues for quite some time now. Depending on who I ask, I get a different diagnosis. Already took anti-inflammatory drugs to rule out a bursitis. Didn’t help. Now I’m still waiting for my MRT to clear things up… however, Monday, I decided to work through the pain … Thoughts on S&C Training: Getting over it–the hard way weiterlesen

Thoughts on S&C: Re-evaluating density training
[A couple of days ago] I posted that in the near future, I’ll deviate from the pragmatic reality of combat sports competition and the related training for a while and instead ponder some philosophical ideas. That’s still the plan. However, this particular issue is on my mind right now, so I don’t see a point … Thoughts on S&C: Re-evaluating density training weiterlesen

Thoughts on S&C training: cleaning things up
Over the last years, I’ve worked relentlessly at creating an S&C training system for my students.

Thoughts on strength & conditioning: pushing the volume

Thoughts on S&C Training: 5/3/1 September 2012
Just finished another 5/3/1 cycle yesterday. Since I'll be fighting again soon, I decided not to include Squats and Deadlifts - I just tend to put on too much mass when doing these. Instead, my lifting sessions revolve around the olympic lifts: the snatch and the clean & jerk. Additionally, I do bench presses and … Thoughts on S&C Training: 5/3/1 September 2012 weiterlesen

Fight Prep: 2012-05-11
Today I did my last S&C session before my upcoming fight (which will take place on May 19th). I was in the gym from 15:50 - 16:55, so the whole thing took me just around an hour. Since I've elaborated my current routine in great detail in this post, I'm not going to repeat that … Fight Prep: 2012-05-11 weiterlesen
