Mission: Get in ridiculously good shape

One of my biggest concerns about this trip is, if I am unlucky enough to get an injury, that will keep me from training. If my knee pops, like I experienced last time I competed, it will pretty much put an end to the training and competing part of my trip, and that would seriously suck. Then I would have to travel the world and get drunk instead of training, imagine that?!!? ;)

Therefore, I have started my program of getting in as good shape as possible before the trip. I wanna be as strong and flexible as I can get in the next four months before I leave, to minimize the risk of potential injuries. I know I can’t travel and train for four months without getting some sort of injuries, but I’ll prepare myself as much as I can, then I guess that the rest is up to chance.

With all this training, I have also lost some weight and is not down to around 78 kilos. Not much, and I know I will lose some on the trip too, so I will try and get to around 82 before I leave, while keeping the same bodyfat percentage as now. All my physical training is being done in our newly opened facility, which is a part of our gym. It is really awesome and inspiring to have a full size training facility for physical training available, it is actually the first time in my entire training career that I have had that. I train three times a week, doing a full body workout with kettlebells, ropes, hammers, etc. and I am very determined to get in the shape of my life for this trip.
