Week 9: Killing it with Plyox and Muay Thai

One of my main motivations in doing P90x was to get back into shape so that I can fight in the local mma show here in Salt Lake City.  P90x has given me that opportunity.   P90x is a killer workout  but now that I’m  nearing fight shape I have started incorporating  fight training to my workout regimen.

When do I sleep you ask?  I don’t.  I get to bed about 1a.m. and my son wakes up to eat breakfast about 6 a.m..  So I’m a five hour a night kinda guy.

Muay Thai is such a fun work out, and a killer striking art.  I’m going to mess someone up with an elbow, I’m excited about the blood.

Today I ate two vegan sausage patties on a peice of wheat toast  for breakfast and you know I washed it down with a drink mix of protein powder and water….. so un-tasty.  For a snack I had another Protein/water mix and a protein bar.  For lunch I’m eating a salad with field greens, carots, turkey and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.  String cheese is sooooo good.

I’m having a snack of 1oz. of plain almonds in a bit and for dinner I’m going to surprise my wife and make some shrimp stir fry.

Tonight I’m doing the back and bicep/ab ripper x work out.  This is the dvd that makes me feel “buff”.  I like to work out my biceps, but my abs are more fun now.  I toyed with the idea of doing the ab  ripper x two times back to back on the appropriate days.  I’m going to try it tonight.  I might not be able to stand up, but if you see me laying on the ground, I’ll be the one with the six pack.
