Deloading for Fight Training

Green means GO, GO, GO!

I'm schedule to fight at Lumphini July 13th at 74 kg. I'm currently weighing a chubby 80.6 kg, which I'm planning to lose at a steady rate so as to not suffer with a sauna suit. As of now I'm using this week up until June 24th for maintenance training or commonly known to weight lifters as deload week (1).

Blistered Knuckle Care. Part 1

Windex and drank me some Tussin

Think you're in the wrong sport because a little blister is holding you back? The constant pounding can cause a series of pain, besides the thumb you jammed while mimicking Chuck Lidell's punch. Keep in mind you are causing trauma to your hands. This can eventually lead to other injuries such as boxers fracture, inflammation, or tears to ligaments and cartilage. Compared to fractures and tears, blisters seem like a blessing but, the sharp sting of pain can ruin your punching form, which can possibly create bad habits.

Rinsing as a Pre Workout Snack Hack?

If you're looking for a quick pre workout snack you might benefit from rinsing your mouth with carbs. 30-15 mins prior to training you basically should ingest straight up simple carbs. Unless you're into having a full belly while training & farting your way through a session.

Negative Visions

Imagining your performance a few days before your fight can help you keep those nerves at bay but, what about the negative thoughts that creep up every now and then? Should you just brush them away or accept them?
