July 19, 2010 Hurt my right shoulder middle of last week doing bag work, worked through it. Aggravated it sparring Friday, so I took Saturday off. And to make matter worse, I had to tackle a dog today. It's gotten worse, so doesn't look like I will be competing this week, unfortunately. Definitely looking to compete in amateur boxing. I've had 3 amateur MMA fights, but recently I've turned my attention to boxing. My weight right now is around 178. I've competed as low as 152 in amateur MMA, and as high as 171. I plan to box amateur at 165, not a fan of cutting water weight with same day weigh-ins. My diet is as follows, changes a little from day to day. Breakfast 3 or 4 slices of turkey bacon 2 pieces of flaxseed toast with honey on one piece, and peanut butter on the other Glass of skim milk Snack Handful of almonds Apple & 1/2 Banana Pre-workout shake Almond milk 1/2 scoop whey protein Full serving of wheatgerm Banana Honey Peanut butter Yogurt Blackberries & Strawberries Post-workout Full whey protein scoop & water mix BCAA's Last meal Chicken breast Asparagus Asorted other veggies Every day I take vitamin B, C, D, BCAA's, echinacea, and I drink well over a gallon of water.
Been eating cookies, cake, and ice cream these past two days. Going back to the gym today for some cardio and plyo's. Going to do some specific work for my shoulder, try to tighten everything up.
Your almost identical to me then.. what is ur height? i am fighting at 168 and right now i'm 179-181. right now i'm trying to go down VERY slowly without losing any strength or stamina. my diet is kinda different to yours and I don't use any protein shakes or supplements - i don't really understand the science behind the shakes, I thought they were used to maintain rather than cut down? sometimes i have a scoop of soy protein in a smoothie though.. what do you think about that?
6' even. You can use shakes to cut, maintain, or gain. i don't see anything wrong with any protein being used, just depends on how you use it. if i take my protein shake, and then along with it have a meal as well then i will definitely gain weight. my pre-workout shake sounds huge and delicious, while it is delicious it is not filling at all...unfortunately.
