New sarms s4 log for the mma fighter - part 2
- Thread starter rospina
- Start date
MMA style workouts always make my eyes bleed just reading them! Haha, very grueling. I'd love to see a sample of your bodybuilding AND MMA workout sessions! I'm sure the S4 is doing your body good too!

We just got 3 new prowlers at the gym yesterday....I already thought regular sleds were tough, these things really suck though. You have to really get low to push them, it's actually excruciating (hope i spelled that right), even with light weight. Today's circuit (at 11 a.m.) consisted of five stations, 1 minute each:
1. Push prowler (high stance) w/ 45 lb. plate
2. Farmer's walk with shrug (60 lbs. dumbells each hand, w/ fat grip)
3. Big tire flip
4. Rope pull (battle rope tied to sled, had to run all the way 'till the rope was fully extended then pull the sled all the way to me)
5. Push prowler (low stance) w/ 45 lb. plate
Rest: 1 minute
Repeat 3 times (next week 4 times, but probably a different circuit)
It is amazing how much harder I have to push now that I have a real strength and conditioning coach on my ass, screaming at me. My heart rate reached a max of 188 bpm during the last round. I was back to 129 bpm within 1 minute, and I was standing instead of sitting. I think I'm in pretty good shape for a 3 x 3 min round fight, lol.
I still have 4 weeks, so I'm going to make the best of it. There's no reason why I can't get in better shape. As I said before, things will keep ramping up until the week before my fight.
All I can say is that this **** IS FREAKIN' AWESOME. I feel a huge difference in my cardio and recovery. I feel like sh** towards the end of the round, but I recover quickly. I also managed to push very hard during tonight's jiu jitsu workout (5:30-7 p.m.). Adequate nutrition, rest, and s4 seem to be working perfectly for me right now.
4 weeks left, this kid's in trouble.....

I have cut out the weight lifting/strength training at this point. Increased padwork and anaerobic circuits since I'm only 4 weeks out of the fight. I can post what a typical day of regular strength training looks like (upper body one day, lower body another), but I'm not doing those anymore. That's considered "off season" training

oh yea, jits workout tonight:
2 warm up open guard rounds - 1 round bottom, 1 round top. Top man must pass, bottom man must retain guard and look to sweep or submit. More of a flow instead of competitive.
2 'Live' open guard rounds (switch top bottom each round) - very competitive
4 Live rounds
Each round was 5 minutes, 1 min break in between rounds which consisted of jogging in a circle...so much for resting right?

That workout sounded so grueling, do you want to have a pizza and chug a milkshake afterward, haha.
Your right about the increased recovery time, the benefits of SARMS just keep adding up, if you still have a month left, ENJOY!! Have you considered stacking SARMSSEARCH's OSTA and S4 in the future after this cycle?
This is a great log bro!
Another bump, let us know how it's going!

Sorry for the delay guys, I had a miserable schedule last week with work and training.
Today is the beginning of the 3 hardest weeks left in my camp. I felt great last week, but most of the workout were tapered back since many of my training partners are fighting this week. I pretty much get a one-on-one with my s&c coach, which is exciting yet terrifying at the same time.
As far as strength or recover I feel great. Yesterday, (which is usually my rest day) one of my training partners asked if I could be a part of an "iron man" drill for him. We basically get 3 people who fit the style of the opponent (myself included), and go in fresh for each round. It's a mock fight, so we use little gloves, and throw with a little pop and speed, but no real power. It's full on MMA, and the goal is to push him until he breaks, and then push him some more.
Considering I trained 7 straight days, I feel great. I feel as if I had rested both Saturday and Sunday. Normally I'd be sore as hell today, but nothing really hurts (other than some minor ticks), and I feel fresh. I hit pads this morning and barely got winded (5x5 min rounds)
I will be blogging more often with details of my training and how I feel, since my work schedule has been cut back. Thanks again everyone for keeping up. Expect a new post again tonight
