Christmas Day 2007


Merry Christmas to everybody! Today is my first Christmas abroad. It is also my first Christmas ALONE!!! I live by myself here in Liverpool and all my British friends are enjoying the Holiday with their families. I have kept myself busy today by doing laundry from the weeks worth of wrestling matches that I've had, dishes, and cooking. It's just a normal day for me it seems. I have called my family back home and told them that I miss them and that I hope they're enjoying their time together. My brother Shaun and his family are home, and I regret not seeing them.


I also managed to get a short workout in this morning that consisted of some deep breathing exercises that I learned from Matt Furey's Combat Abs, and I also did 200 Hindu Squats.
Early tomorrow morning I am back on the road again that consists of 6 straight days of Butlins Holiday Camps, then I'm off to France on January 2 for two weeks of wrestling work at La Reunion, an Island in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar.

I'm looking forward to posting some of my VOWS for 2008. Yes, Vows, not resolutions. Last year I made vows and I was able to keep all of them, unlike other years where I made corny resolutions and not keep any of them.

Hope everybody enjoys their Christmas, and I look forward to posting again soon. In the meantime check out my official website and official myspace .

First week in the UK 2007

I’ve arrived in England and have been very busy wrestling, training, and trying to settle into my apartment at the same time. I’ve changed my training regime around a bit. It’s been over 16 months since I’ve last lifted weights and have trained exclusively on bodyweight training alone. I’ve added some simple weight training exercises to my “combat conditioning” style of training. I’ve also added time working out in the sauna to conclude my workouts. Below have been my workouts this week:
Monday
50 Hindu Pushups with Portable Power Jumper
100 Regular Pushups with Power Pushup 2
25 Dive Bomber Pushups
Bench Press: 50 repetitions with 135 lbs.
Sauna 17 minutes: 100 Hindu Squats, 100 regular pushups

Tuesday
40 Pullups (4x10; different grips: pronated, supinated, close grip, mixed grip)
3x15 Rows (pronated grip bent row, supinated grip bent row, seated row)
3x15 Lat Pulldown
Sauna 25 minutes: 150 Hindu Squats

Wednesday
Hand Stand Pushups 3x 10
Chest Expander exercises
Wall Walking 3x10
Shoulder Press 50 reps at 135 lbs
Bridging 3 minutes
Abdominals
