Back in the gym…

So, now that I’ve cut my work hours down, I can get back to training MUCH more often…I really have to hand it to the athletes that can work a full-time job and also train at the pro level…I had a helluva time getting in the gym often, but in my own defense, I had a lot of 12 hour days with an hour drive each way…

And I don’t care who you are, after 14 hours invested in the day, you’re gonna want a sandwich…

Or a pillow and a hot toddy…

Regardless of all that gibberish, 2009 should prove to be an interesting year in MMA for a lot of reasons and I’m going to do everything I can to be a part of the sport…Thankfully, my job has been gracious enough to let me cut those hours down so I can do just that (Thanks to Mr. Rick King on that since I know he reads this)…

Here are some small bits of that ‘everything’ in action…Starting out with some intense circuit rounds that are ALWAYS a joyous event and leave us singing and dancing with glee…Or not so much…

Richard Harris and I work some drills w/Coach Dan looking on….

And on to the mat work…

Then, we come back in the afternoons for some more fun…

 Coach and Carl Jones (in the green shirt above) are able to use the GIANT 100+ lb kettlebell, but I defer to the daintier dumbbell…

Although I will use it for kettlebell swings…

Pull-ups on the TortureRackOfDeath finish the day’s beatings…

There were WAY too many brain cells in there anyway, so Coach squeeeeezed a few out for me…Thanks…

Just so that no one feels left out, Rick Harris gets a little happiness from Coach as well…

And that’s all the more I’ll entertain you good folks with for now, but I’m sure I’ll be getting some more pics of our daily ritualistic beating(s) to post on here again soon…I keep telling myself I need to put more content on this site more often and I certainly aim to do that…Even though I’ve said it over and over again…hahaha…

Until then, take care and Happy Muscles…
