Competing again. Starting this weekend.
Hey guys. So as some of you know, I am coming off a pretty serious sternum and costal cartilage injury (hairline fracture, twice), so I have only been back training about 3 weeks or so, and I have been easing myself back in to make sure I don't do it for a 3rd time too haha. Anyway, probably a stupid idea, but as training has been going OK injury seems to be OK, I have decided to compete this weekend at a no-gi comp.
It is common knowledge I am not a huge comp guy. I hate dieting, and all that shit, it makes me miserable, so I usually only do 1 comp per year, but as I have been on a plant based whole foods diet for a few months now my diet is pretty on point anyway. Also because I haven't been training for a comp it is really nice to be able to go compete with no pressure (that I put on myself) and expectations. Just going to go and have fun. Plus TBH I was left feeling pretty inspired by Eddie and Royler.
This is the beginning of me getting on the comp scene hard for the next few years. Am 32 now so hopefully got a few years left in me yet to smash it.
Will let you guys know how I get on on Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to catching up with Chris Garry and and other 10p Birmingham guys at the comp too. Thanks for reading.
