The body has only finite resources. More time off needed, or less cardio and more gentle rolling if you can't bear to stay away!

Every now and then you will have to take time off the mat for different reason's, life gets in the way. But when it does do cadio. You want to do Cardio because that is the first thing you lose and the most important aside from technique.

Yeah man. I started taking antibiotics for acne and it really messed with my endurance during training. Felt like I had absolutely nothing in the gas tank and didn't even have the will power to fight out of chokes like I normally do. Quit taking them and am feeling basically back to normal. He's right about being sick though, especially with the flu. Those kind of things hang around for a bit. I'd say take a little time off as you may have come back too early. Either that or go realllllly light and just drill with a little flow rolling.

iv took a week off myself. Iv done nothing but eat ice cream, eat BBQ, and drink soda. I know tonight when i roll ill be gassing. I agree cardio is second most important thing other than technique. I found if you drink a shot of whiskey and huff some gasoline before rolling you will have more energy. I'm making that up.
