Fantastic Log man . I just spent the better part of my evening reading it. I to am about to embark on my journey of MMA. I about you size as well. You mind telling me what your reach is? Im 6'4 as well but slightly slimmer; I walk around at 190ish) and I hope to fight at 170 if I can. Hopefully I can utilize my reach advantage as I dont see too many 170lbers with a 83.5" reach. Keep up all the hard work man and keep all those little fellas away from you.

Crappy workout was crappy. Felt shitty today so I cut it off. Need to break up my routine now, can't depend on marathon full body's if I go more than 1x a week.

Thanks!

I have no idea what my reach is.

6'4 seems extremely tall for 170. I'd worry a bit about Corey Hilling a leg or getting handled by wrestlers at that extreme of a height. Also, cutting from 190ish to 170 at 6'4 is spreading yourself very thin (pun intended). The taller you are, the less water weight you can cut due to a larger portion of your weight being composed of bones, organs, etc. 20lbs is also a HUGE cut for a first fight. You want to gradually build up to such things.

More importantly, if you're just starting on training, don't worry about what weight class you're going to fight at. I know it's exciting and everything to think about, but in reality its such a minor detail of a huge process, and not something you should worry about until you're actually deemed ready to fight and are looking for opponents/organizations. So much can happen to your body between now and then, and your coaches can help you decide at that point.

Hope that makes sense. Good luck!

I agree. 170 is my ultimate goal. I know i spend time at 185. my metabolism hasnt changed much since highschool but my wieght is up due to being a corporate b!tch for the last 3 yrs. I dont even plan on fighting for 18 mos. I played a couple yrs of college football at a bulky 185. I ran track closer to 175. Im just natural thin. But I can also bench 205 and squat 275.

Reasons I want to get into MMA is I want to get back into the shape i was in college and surpass it. Ialso played so many team sports in my youth I never got to take Martial arts as much as I wanted. I did some wrestling in highschool. Who knows where it'll take me, maybe ill b**** out 2 wks in, but I want to at least try. Once again great work I hope I could carve a successful path such as yours.

Squats 5,4@275lbs
Overhead Squats 10,10@bar
Stiff Legged Deadlifts 10,10@135lbs
Seated Calf Raise 10,10@90lbs

Broke up my shit into 3x a week, Legs/Push/Pull. Got a sweet back pump going today, overhead squats are neat.

Tried out a new gym today. It's a very nice facility but a little too fitness clubish for my tastes... had to do a sitdown and tour, etc. Might sign up regardless, it's close, has more than what I need, and has the 24 hour aspect too. We'll run this trial and then make a choice. I still have to quit my MMA gym. Dreading that.

Good workout. That concludes trial run of week 1. Going to drop my squats down to 225 and start building momentum again along with other core lifts...goal is 1 set of 5 squats @ 315lbs, bench @ 225, deadlift @ 405lbs.

Secondary exercises I'll start low at 10 reps and start building, drop the rep scheme once I find the wall.

Weights up. I didn't want to take 3 days off but I hurt my back on the last day. Funny story, I was bragging to this yoga instructor about how flexible I am from M.M.A... I was trying to bend over and touch the floor with my palms (bad idea, my hamstrings were already sore and tight) and I tried a little too hard and I think that's what did it...It felt fine at the time, but then I went to the gym a few hours later and did 5 sets of deadlifts and 2 sets of powercleans to seal the deal. Feeling fine now but it was shit for 48 hours.
