So I have been in Sweden a few days now and last night I went out for dinner with a couple from the city of Stockholm and it was amazing. They took me and Charles through the cobblestone streets and eventually to a standing room only restaurant that sells traditional Swedish cuisine….so in this particular instance we had Swedish Meatballs, and they were phenomenal much like the ones my mum would make. The location of Biosig in association with Eleiko is top notch, I have never been in a facility that not only has a fully equipped Eleiko weight room but also lecture halls and free internet while still being a hotel….trust me the last two matter! I remember being in Melbourne and receiving a $458.00 dollar internet bill after just eight days…uhgh talk about a kick in the wedding tackle. Anyway, I digress what I want to talk about is how to train on the road when you are at a lack of time even a potential lack of equipment. When I am away from my routine the hardest part for myself is the maintenance of my anaerobic capacity work…Yeah imagine that one, f**k this is a real piece of news. Anyway, when I am in the USA I train three to four hours a week of Krav Maga on top of my weight room sessions. This has been the way for almost 18months and for the last 4.5 months it has been at altitude! So if I don’t stay with my conditioning I get kicked in the face after some dude kicks me in the balls. I have never been a puker but at 105kg lean mass I will tank oxygen wise and for me its lights out not puke….my world gets very dark…and pass out. True story!

The weight training is one…sometimes two body part a day…double sessions if no capacity work

The Conditioning is general unless I have access to heavy bag facility like Gym Box in London England or bum in need for a few dollars cash.
