this week has been messed up due to bank holidays and xmas so i'm winging it this week.
last night: 4pm
treadmill
3 minute fast walk
2 minute 15km/h sprint
25 mins jogging afterwards with a few fast walks thrown in
the 2 minute sprint fooked me over and it felt like i was breathing fire... i've still got a cold thats gone to my chest a bit so it made the last 10 minutes hard.
2 minute sprint was added at the beginning so i had to push myself to complete the 30mins, more like a cardio with an added heart check thrown in - quit or complete.
weight 98.25kg ------ down 1.75kg (nearly 4lb)
water weight loss
it was my girlfriends father's 60th birthday so i was taken out to dinner, all you can eat chinese buffet
i was good and avoided the rice, i just had the chicken chow mein and a few other sundries... still not good
--------------------------------------------------
6:30am this morning
1 degreee C outside.... brrrrrrrrr
weighed myself and it was 98.25kg still, the panic over the chinese
incline bench
2 x 6 90kg
1 x 15 60kg
standing military press
1 x 12 45kg
1 x 8 45kg
1 x 7 45kg
chins
8,4
medium grip pulldown
2 x 8 70kg
bent rows
3 x 12 55kg
called it a day, biceps and triceps were warmed nicely from the first proper weight session in over 2 weeks.
tonight will be some light cardio and mostly ab work, rotor cuffs

BJJ -
Good class running over technique for an hour, 30 minute sparring at the end which i was happy with.
Sweeped a guy so i gained mount but half way through i felt like crying as my bad rib flared up... cant wait to have the time to be able to rest it.
No cardio this morning as tonight will be a heavy session of BJJ and wrestling

5pm last night
10mins on cross trainer at fast pace = 375 cals burned
8 mins on bike, revs around 110rpm = 100cals
11 mins on recumbant bike = 100 cals
sauna
jacuzzi
shower
------------------------------------------------------------
6:30am this morning
20 mins on treadmill, average pace...
really starting to feel the low carbs, i've been alternating between carb free and low carb days as i've got some serious weight to lose but its paying off.
weight = 95.25kg = 2kg lost (4.4lbs)
some of it is muscle but i'd rather lose the weight ASAP and hopefully be in a position to eat a bit more carbs near my fight rather than fight depleted.

cheers mate
i'm fighting at middle weight for this tournament, it has weird and wonderful weight catagories...
i have to get down to 90kg at least a week out from the fight to allow me to slowly add some carbs and energy before the day.
Yes its MMA 
my weights routine has been passed over for a little while but its a whole body workout
bench
chins
clean n press
bent rows
barbell curls
skulls
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday:
Normal bag warm up, worked on BJJ techniques, mainly mount escapes and a few muay thai drills... the rib prevented me kicking with my right side.
Zero carb day....horray!!!
Saturday:
Today was a re-feed day so i had two weetabix with milk for breakfast and for lunch i had some wholemeal rolls with chicken breast. Oh the energy came back!
sparring...
Normal warm up session on the bags, i'm getting fitter so i can work more on some speed work.
Stand up sparring was eventful, in one round i caught a spinning back fist to the back of the head (naughty naughty) full pelt.
It was a 5 second delay before i crashed onto my back and saw stars and bright spots....
Waited a few moments to get my senses, got back up, found my legs and carried on...
At the end of the round i asked the guy what i'm doing wrong and what to look out for (he's a pro fighter) and he said not to signal my kicks so much.
few rounds later it was MMA ground and pound sparring (BJJ with strikes).
this week i was more switched on to where my hands were and i only got arm barred once
still got mounted and pounded a few times by the more experianced guys, two black eyes to show lol. Next week i'll be working on covering up more.
all in all, 1.5 hours of constant sparring and i felt great... the lighter weight, carb refuel and extra cardio work during the week is working wonders.

Awesome, sound like you have had a busy couple of days lol
Funny weights really eh? good luck in the tourney btw ;)
I know what you mean about coming down in weight, As I drop down in weight I feel SOOO much better and what very little I lose in strength I make up for in spades of endurance
