Black Belt Goal

My 2 year goal to attain 1 of the 101 HaganaH BlackBelts in the world

I will do a review on these two items but my birthday came early! Picked up a pair of twins gloves and some king shin guards from http://www.fighters-inc.com! They are made in Thailand through Daytona Beach. Looks like all my gear is from over there. I know have Winning HeadGear – King Shins – Twins Gloves (+ RingSide Gloves).

Pretty pumped.

On goals, I got stuck in Bogota for 3 weeks, so I got a little behind on the goal of 5.5% but getting right back to it this week. I actually had a major stomach issue. I start back with measurements with BB3 on Monday. I went and picked up 2 tubs of afterglow! So I am ready. Tomorrow after Combat Fitness I am hitting the grocery store.

Really excited about a real good week of training! It is amazing how new gear can motivate!

BTW has anyone seen the new video of John Clarke and Combat Wrestling if you have not check it out!

Now that I am 99% Next week I am starting to get back into CW…

It has been awhile since I did a review and I thought I would do it on my shoes. I bought a pair of red and black Reebock Zigs a few weeks ago before my HaganaH Certification at headquarters with Mike Lee Kanarek. I really liked them at first they felt real comfortable and felt like a great shoe.  I got up to head out to the second day of training and I noticed something wrong with the bottoms. As you can see by the picture a small piece was coming off. When we got our lunch break I ran over to Foot Locker to exchange them for another pair. The only issue was in the size 8.5 they only had the orange and silver. I had to grab them and get back to working out.

After getting ribbed for the colors I made it through the certification and have had them for 2 weeks. I have to give them thumbs down. The initial comfort is not there. I guess they are good for straight line running, but they just don’t get the job done with all the training I do.

Nike Air Free vs Reebok Zig

I have had a pair of Nike Free 5.0′s for over 3 months, in fact this is my third pair that I just love. The only issue with them is I had to change the insoles. The ones that come with the shoe are brutal. I love the feel of these shoes and the weight and the actually torque ok on the mat. I would not run more then 5K in them though as they are designed to feel as you are in your bare feet. I leave long running to ASICS and other running brand shoes.

I am going to be looking at some new cross trainging running shoes this week and will report back.

I am also buying some new gloves and some new King shin guards I will review in the upcoming weeks!

Been a great couple weeks. Then next 4 Billy Beck has really got me on an aggressive plan to gain lean muscle and drop down to 5.5% body fat. I was at 9.5% Friday. I have a big speaking event next weekend, but other then that ready to train!

Have a great weekend!

I shot a couple videos this weekend, this is the second review of the Japanese Winning FG -2900 Headgear.
