Played a short game of tennis with Mike.  Decent cardio, good for footwork.

Diet has been horrible since work started.

Fitness is through the damn roof.  I blame it on the creatine,
however the question is if it's the actual creatine that is causing it,
the fact that creatine leads me to drink more water so that I'm finally
properly hydrated, psychological effects of knowing I'm "on creatine",
finally being conscious of the fact that I have to push myself as hard
as possible to get results, or a combination of all factors.

Ran bleachers for 8:30 today.  Could have gone for longer.  Will need to remember to push myself harder.

Training with my bro is getting better.  Him and I come from
similar martial backgrounds, so he has all the same bad habbits I
did.  I'm able to give him a ton of tips.  We sparred for 4
three minute rounds.  His cardio may suck, but at least he goes
all out.

I'm trying to correct him, while at the same time work on my defense.  So far, my slipping is getting better.

Working my bodyshots more.  Landed a very good short hook to my
bro's ribcage/stomach when he overextended on a right cross.  I
didn't intend to hit hard, but all the momentum took the wind
away.  For once, I'm starting to use angles.  I think
straight boxing rules sparring is just the thing I need to work on
technique.  Just need to avoid bad habbits.

Highlight video of me sparring.

Witnessed benefits of training.  Had to get cement today. 
Was able to move 90lb bags as though they were nothing.  Felt like
I could carry them all day.  Combination of both powerlifting and
endurance training.

Ran bleachers for 7.5 minutes.  Killed me.  Almost puked.  Great workout, need to do it more.

Push-ups workout was best in a long time

Set 1: 100
Set 2: 75
Set 3: 50
Set 4: 25
Set 5: 25

Possible creatine effects.

Training my older bro in standup.  Have a sparring partner. 
New 16oz gloves are working great.  Finally slipped my first jab
in a sparring match.  Going slow with him will allow me to work
defense.

Training Log: Entry 107

Creatine effects are going well.  Incredibly intense bag training
session followed by decent run.  Longest cardio session in a long
while.  My body actually outlasted my cardio.  That's a first.

Have altered bag session as follows
2 rounds boxing shadowboxing
1 round Muay Thai shadowboxing
3 rounds bareknuckle boxing heavybag
3 rounds 4oz glove boxing heavybag
1 round of sets of 10 roundhouse kicks
1 round of alternating roundhouse kicks at leg, mid, and head level
1 round doublekick drills

1 round=3 min
Rest between rounds=30sec

Training Log: Entry 106

Regained weight from flu through dirty bulking

Retooled bag training.  Will be working kicks more.  Found out I can still roundhouse head height.

Creatine not really showing up during lifting, but effects definitely present during cardio.

Bought new 16oz gloves.  Should help sparring to provide for two people.
