G, you said you used to train for mma/fighting?
Yup.
What did that look like?
As far as workouts go? I trained 2-3X per day, sometimes 4. Every morning was cardio for 45 min - 1 hour. Nothing fast, just keeping things moving.
Later in the day I did weight training. Usually 1 or 2 exercises then a circuit of some type.
Then I would hit BJJ or MT for 2 or 3 hours.
If I did a 4th workout it was running stairs at the dam or something along those lines.
How did you enjoy the competition?
As it turns out. I am not that tough and do not like to be hit, specifically in the head. So I did not enjoy that part much.
I really enjoyed the training though.
