I'm here in Southern California at Unbroken Performance with Jay Glazer. Throughout my whole career, I never did really MMA and different things. I just stuck to what I usually do. That's working on speed, football stuff, and all that. As you get older, you think that the same workout you always did is going to be okay and it's not. It's hard because you're restricting yourself, hey, everything I've done, it's, you know, worked to a point. And then the big thing for vets to come in and go, man, this is so different. Different is good. We're working on legs, we're working on a lot of movement on the on the uh field turf. putting resistance on you.

So instead of just like free run, it's still helping out the leg. So we did resistance training. And after we did resistance training, we came and did squats, lunges, step ups. And then after we did that, you know, we got got on to the fighting with Jay as far as the kicks and different stuff. And you know, all that stuff it help you with explosion, help your hip work, and all that. Just get it done. You know, got to work hard. Can't work hard for too long, so you just got to get it done. I think this season going to be one of my best season because after being here training, you know, I feel I feel stronger, faster, getting start focusing on the upcoming season.
