		<title>Next Week MMA Training Begins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Been super busy fixing up the new house, hosting family visits, etc. I haven’t been boxing in 2 weeks but this week I’m getting back into shape so I can start at the MMA gym next week.
Here is the strength and conditioning program I’m going back on:

		<title>Switching To MMA For A While</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even though I’m not under the stresses of camp, and I’m in great shape, dragging myself to the gym has become a dire chore. With each failed effort to get serious again I continually think back to when boxing was fun. The truth is I can barely remember that far back. But yet I don’t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Picking Up a Trainer, Working on Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent some time working out on my own at the new gym and letting the trainers see my skills before they try to sell private lessons to the new yuppie. This plan appears to be working, as two trainers approached me complimenting my skills and offering to train me for cut rates.
I started working [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recovering From Vacation Layoff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A week and a half vacation, followed by an illness, then a long-weekend/wedding has mostly derailed my training.
Last night was the first night I&#8217;ve been at the gym in a while. I performed ok, but am now up 5-6 lbs weighing in at 181.5.
The next 3 days my goal is to ramp back into my routine. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upper Body Condition Intervals Kicking My Butt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My prior training conditioned me into a groove where I could do all sorts of crazy running distances and paces without severely taxing myself. Yet my new upper/lower body conditioning intervals are kicking my butt and making my shortcomings obvious. Even more evidence that I’ve solved my endurance mystery.
I’m going on vacation for a week [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Regiment: More Strength Training &amp; Upper Body Endurance Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My current’ gym’s trainers leave conditioning up to the boxer. They’ll give you a general outline of what they want, but it’s all on you to do it. I’m quite happy with this because I’m a hard worker when it comes to conditioning. My past issues were frustrating since I did everything my trainers asked, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Story I Never Told My Readers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two and a half years ago my wife was pregnant and I figured that my time intensively training in boxing was going to end. I decided to have my last hurrah and start NerdcoreBoxing. Fast forward 8+ months and I&#8217;m signing on for a unsanctioned smoker just before my wife’s due date.
My trainers at that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Selecting a Trainer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With my gym switch I’ve changed from the class format to the more traditional but unstructured boxing gym format. I like traditional gyms, their hours are more flexible and they attract more experience boxers that don’t fit into classes. You also have more control over how much trainer time you get, if you have money [...]]]></description>

		<title>Distractions, Distractions…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m still running, training, and my weight is good. But I’m not in camp anymore, I’m at a more normal training pace due to a number of distractions.
Originally I planned to fight by my birthday, then I scheduled minor surgery to remove a cyst, and then my house hunting was expected to pick up. Now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Awkward Situation Brewing With Old Trainer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven’t gotten around to calling my old trainer yet. I’ve been busy. It’ll be an uncomfortable conversation, blah, blah, blah. Bottom line is I should have done it already.
If I didn’t already think it was going to be an awkward conversation, it just got even more strange. Even though I haven’t been showing up [...]]]></description>
