We also got a little bit of weapons work in on sunday.
It was a rough weekend, and I barely slept most of it, even worse i barely ate. For some reason when I push myself to the point of exhaustion, i cant eat, my stomach cramps up and I cant hold food down. I puked twice durring saterdays workout, and dry heaving while grappling is always fun.
I'm still sitting at 255lbs as of this morning, I think my lack of eating really hurt me in the fatloss department this weekend. Again since I was going on next to no sleep, Leviathan help tremendiously. I took off yesterday to recover, I jammed up my right pointer finger pretty bad, and ripped a bunch of skin off my foot also, I will prob be back in the gym tonight.
I need to switch up my training a bit, I really need to work on cardio vascular indurance more, so i will be upping the running on off days. I also need to get my legs in better shape, after a few sparring sessions they were dead, my footwork went to shit, and i had to rely soley on my hands. It will all come together soon, I have another weekend workout coming up august 25th, then a weekend camp sept 7th I believe, I need to ready for war by then.

Now that's some hardcore training.. Man, I'm feel sore just reading that. Get some good r&r. I know how much of a pain getting skin ripped off is.
The only thing I can think of that will help with legs when it comes to endurance and sparring is jump rope, jump squats and jump switch step lunges. For the jump squats, you don't need weight just fast and with a pace. You can also add a 180 twist to it. So squat down, jump up and turn 180 and repeat. For the jump switch step lunges, take some light weight, do a lung and from the lung position jump up switch your legs so the leg that was in front is back and vice versa and go down into a lung, repeat.
This is what really gets the legs burning for me.
