On the stereo today- Afghan Whigs I took, or tried to take, last week off training completely. I injured my hip in the Euros and in general, I needed a break to heal and relax a bit. What a terrible idea! I finished the week stiff and tight and sore. Never take time off! Wednesday … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Random playlist. Sorry to disappoint. So it was Rome at last. I lost first round on points. Had a couple of good moments, but had to take a risk before the end and got my back taken. The guy was good. But in review, I enjoyed the training for this event … Continue reading

Monday Mixed Conditioning Work Evening Jiu Jitsu- 45 minutes of 3min rounds with 30s rest. Focusing on pace. Tough evening. Tuesday Nothing. Wednesday Evening … Continue reading
On the stereo today- A bit of 60s and 70s. The Doors, Creedance and Led Zep I’m about 2 weeks out from the flight, and I’m ready to fight now. I’m at that point where it’s annoying to train now. I just want to be there in Rome. It almost feels at this stage like … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Massive Attack This is the first update in 3 weeks. This is because I was running the Shamrock Cup and the Ireland BJJ Invitational.

On the stereo today- Disintegration- The Cure Best album of the 80s? Change my mind kids! Last week was a busy week as I changed up my training ever so slightly. Had a bit of a back strain that kept me from doing too much, but the conservative approach is something I’m mastering. Monday Busy … Continue reading
On the stereo today- anything and everything. After feeling a bit ill the week before, this was a welcome return to normal. Monday A highly busy work day meant that I didn’t train at all. My quote is “never skip a Monday”, but I seem to be skipping a few Mondays. Tuesday Gym work in … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys Not a great week. I think I might have had a bug throughout it, now that I think about it. Monday Felt a bit “off” for some reason. So I decided not to train and took a rest day. Tuesday Switched up a bit and went … Continue reading
On the stereo today- Everything must Go- Manic Street Preachers Busy week. Quite happy with how it went. Monday Got robbed of a strength session by an “emergency” meeting I needed to get on.
