Since coming back to mma something had felt off, like I had forgotten how to ride a bike, and couldn't tap into my prior experience and training, just grinding through the motions waiting for that instinct to wake the fuck up. Well I finally got my epiphany, mid-round monday morning everything just clicked and instantly I felt like a completely different person. Not to say I crushed everyone else from that point on cause I still get worked hard, we got some insanely tough and skilled guys on the team, but fighting returned to being a natural state for me. I stopped over-thinking things and just let my instincts take over and just enjoying the moment, suddenly everything just slowed the fuck down big time, I could see and feel where and how people were moving and planning on moving rather than just praying my reaction timing were good enough. I could relax and breath freely knowing when I was safe which allowed me to nearly double my session times and cut out those annoying vomit breaks. Feeling more motivated than ever before and can't wait to get a fight lined up so I can share my joy with whoever is unlucky enough to step into that cage with me.

We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.

Must be nice, for how long did you have a time off and why ? injuries ?

I my self have been wanting to take it to the next level after a 8 months break. No idea how it will feel..

Good job, keep training, never take time off again. Even if u are fully crippled, u can still do body building at the gym.

JB: John Broz (olympic weightlifting coach)

What do you do when progression halts?

JB: IT WILL! Training lifts will eventually start to go backwards as you enter into the "dark times". When you are so sore and fatigued that you cant even imagine lifting weights. This time is CRUCIAL to training. You MUST persevere and continue to train! Eventually your lifts will begin to improve and you will make progress and PR's while in a totally fatigued state. When you can make progress when feeling like this, this is when you are going somewhere.

To quote Antonio:"the day will never come when you can't lift the bar"

To quote my first coach:" If you wait til you feel good with no aches or pains to train, you will never be here"

Basically, could you give us some more insight into your training protocols?

JB: Train til you can't walk, eat, sleep, repeat.

Some shit went bad and ended up losing our house which led to a whole mess of drama, so my wife, kids and I picked up and moved to Nebraska to kind of get a fresh start and an outside perspective on life. Shit didn't work out so well there but it made us realize just how great we had it here so we moved back to Cali. I tried getting in touch with some camps out there but nothing ever really came of it. About 6months off training, but for a few months before that I wasn't taking it too serious due to the outside drama and shit in my life.

Yea Jbroz is a fucking beast
