How'd your boy do in his toughman contest? or is it this weekend?

[Bam Bam]

i had two in the toughman

one did not fight

other won friday night and one fight saturday but could not continue because of shoulder


toughman has gone to super novice,novice and open. double elimantion tourney. It was different to say the least but at least theres a better chance that beginners wont fight guys that have 47 toughman victories. As was the case on the second night of my first toughman

[Bam Bam]

my fight in june is off i had a chance to fight may 1st in ardmore against one of the caveman fighters but thats too short notice. I think something is still in the works for this summer

update everything is going well have no fights but have been training a few fighters at my gym. One will fight NOv. 13th at tulsa. I am 195 and feeling well. Deciding if i will fight again cause if not going to get my nose fixed. ( my left canal is closed) I also have some calcuim built up on my right eye. Training wise i have been doing bamboo strikes and am very confident now in my standup. I sparred a few weeks ago and koed my trainer in 30 seconds or so. with 16 oz gloves. RIght now everyting in standup is super slow to me i feel like i am barely putting out energy and everyone i spar is stuck in mud

update

was in europe over holidays did the proposal under eiffel on new yrs

training is speratic because of work mostly weights when i have time i did deadlift 490 wed lifts about the same except doing no chest work because shoulder is bad

[ElPietro]

WTF! You cant have posts from 3 different years appear on the same page loser!

I mean, hey!

Congrats on the engagement Scott!

[ericg]

Congrats bro!!

[Bam Bam]

update:

Getting marrried in june and weighing 200 lifts all about same doing alot of interval stuff when i do train. trying to geti rid of some heavy lifting and found a nice back work out which consists of 120 reps per set and can be done with only a pull up bar. You can also use a pull down and set to moderate weight do 10 wide to shoulder width and 10 with hands together then drop weight and repeat untill you hit 120.
I have also been doing alot of stability ball work and bodyweight exercises that kill me.

[Bruteman]

Wishing you and your wife to be the very best in liife!!

[Bam Bam]

thanks for the replies guys. I have been training mma and personal training aswell. I got an athlete trying to increase vert so we have been training with jumps and jumps he is at 45 now i started last week with him and can do 42 i think 45 would be my one jump max but its giving me a new motivation to try to achieve i would like 50 this time next yr

[Bam Bam]

i should clarify we are doing box jumps and reaction jumps i can do 42 inch jumps for reps and want to get to 50 inch box jumps

[Bam Bam]

trying 45 inch jump today flat footed

[Bam Bam]

Scott vs flatfoot 45 inch box jumps

scott 1 box jump 0

the reaction 45's are alot easier. Also i had to stand farther back than i wanted for comfort.
