Lifting & Core/Neck

** Its time to get rededicated on all of my lifting/cardio/conditioning/etc. I realize the only time I take a beating is when I get tired, so I need to do everything I can to prevent that from happening. I realize I can't stay in peak shape all the time, and a fight is the important part, but I want to stay in as good as shape as possible for training. I want to put on a good show at all times. Thats why I have stayed out of MMA for awhile, my injuries are still persistant but now I'm just avoiding them because I want my conditoning to improve and want to do more skill work which although I get a bit at that class, its not as much as I want or need. Lots of sparring is NOT needed for me at the moment. Technique and drilling reps is. I will be hiring a boxing coach next month. Can't wait.

I love this 5/3/1 program. Dropping my reps and putting more effort (not as much as I should, I gotta buy more weight plates..) into the pounds is paying off. I feel so much stronger already. I'm noticing I'm adding a lot of weight to my accessory execises and having easier times doing other exercises as well. I started adding calories very slowly and will hit 3000 daily starting tonight. I dont know if I'll even out or add weight tho since I'm doing quite a bit of cardio, it takes a lot of calories even at my size.
