how to prepare for a fight

mwman · 05-01-2004, 03:10 PM

let's say some punk was giving your girl crap, and you're gonna fight him in a week or two. what's the best way to prepare for this fight? should you keep your weight training going, or stop it so your muscles aren't fatigued or sore? Also, what should you eat the day of the fight, and should you take some creatine before going into it? i'm in great condition, much stronger and faster than the other guy, and on top of that he smokes so he'll be out of breath real quick... but i just want to make sure i go into it having done everything correctly.

Ditto.

personally, i'd blow a few lines of creatine right before the fight, it should really get your jabs going alot faster. On top of that, eat a shake of 160-170gr of whey the night before, no more, no less, cuz it'll increase your visual perception during the fight, and your opponent's punches will be slowed down like in the matrix. And of course, keep a little bag of salt in your belt handy so if your opponent starts winning, you can throw it in his eyes and blind him.

This will take a little experimenting, but you said you have a few weeks. You have get really drunk, but not to the point where you can't walk and function. Just get really drunk for the next week and try to figure out what will take you to that point, once there you will feel no pain and if he hits you, you'll just go into a drunken rage

Restraining orders cost money, but you'd best be off contacting the authorities unless you want to be the one doing jail time, while he walks free.

OceanDude · 05-01-2004, 05:32 PM

Well this is easy. Just work on flexibility and speed training for your trigger finger. Have your girl friend do the same thing. Then when he confronts you at the apponted hour use your improved finger reflexes to quickly point to your girlfriend. When he goes for her she does the same thing but points back to you. Keep this up indefinately till he is going in circles first toward you then toward your GF over and over again. Then when he is all dizzy have your gf kick him in the nuts so if you get beat up he can't mess with her very effectively. If he lands one then run and let your gf take the rest of the heat since the judge won't prosecute her if the law intervenes and he wont be able to do much anyway below the belt so to speak. Besides that girls fight dirty and she is opt to take him out for you.

instead of fighting him why don't you confront him and tell him that you do not appreciate how he is treating your girlfriend.

ask him to stop, and if he does not tell him that you're going to tell his mom.

odin52 · 05-01-2004, 06:17 PM

it doesn't take alot of training to run up on somebody and knock them out. I can tell you have never been in a fight before so here is some advice, DON'T OVERTHINK IT! No matter what you try it will not go how you planned. Just try to tell the guy to leave your girl alone if he bucks up take him out quick no such thing as dirty fighting. Then just leave don't try to stay and tell your story the cops don't care just leave. And don't do this around his friends or big groups of people.

oh and I have something else to add to this. it your girl really worth it? I swear the number one thing we fight about is pussy, man fucc that shit. these hoes are tearing us apart god dammit. who cares, let her handle her own business.

RCfootball87 · 05-01-2004, 07:34 PM

From my personal experience, all other physical things equal, fights usually come down to whose more pissed off. Some people just go completely ballistic, and it's really hard to fight someone whose like that.

gr81 · 05-01-2004, 07:39 PM

Actually I completely disagree with that RC, I find that the winner is whoever keeps their head about them. if you are just a maniac swinging wildly, thats not the best tactic. Stayin smart is how to do it. ya feel me?

Well it's not so much the wild swinging it's that people like that sometimes just won't give up, and if they get someone down they'll just pound on them until they break all their knuckles. Street fights are fun shit too watch.

beat me to it...that is the best point, gr8.
hey..if ya can..taunt the opponent a bit...get him even madder..and off his 'game'.

Burner02 · 05-01-2004, 08:47 PM

oh..and as far as the guy who started this thread..in a couple weeks..that sounds like premeditation...

why wait a couple weeks? how about tomorrow? Get in the guy's grill...and find out what his deal is. Deal with it then and be done with it.

V Player · 05-01-2004, 09:42 PM

Call your local news stations and schedule interviews and press conferences. Dye your hair bleach blonde like Tito Ortiz, so he knows you mean business, and give Tito type answers to the questions. Use phrases like "let the beatings begin" and "there's no fighter in the world like me". This way you get in his head and fukk with him till its showtime. Pre-sell the pay-er-view rights so he really knows you mean business. When you get to the "show", have your hair in a mowhawk like Chuck Liddell and that will REALLY screw with his head. Toss him a Big Mac combo meal and tell him you packed him a lunch cause its gonna be a long day if he thinks he can whip yur ass.

These are tried and proven winning methods of the greatest UFC fighters in the world. Training? Who needs training? Im letting only YOU in on these secrets. Ok? So keep this just between us. Keep us posted on the results and cut me in on the concession sales.

Street fights are fun to watch but they suck to be in!!

mwman · 05-01-2004, 10:21 PM

roflmao you guys are hilarious.

i gave him a phone call to tell him to knock the crap off, and he gave me lip. i work during the week so there is little time for this to happen, except the weekend.

i've been in fights before and they are very physically demanding; you can get tired pretty quickly if you are going all out. i just wanted to see if anyone has been in this situation and had any little things that would help.

salt idea is great

but i think the one serious question that would come out of this thread would be should i hold off on the weight training for this week so my arms are not tired/sore for the fight?

It is hard to give you any ideas here. Whenever I have been in a fight it was never planned out. It was always a spur of the moment things, usually were I didn't even know the oponent. I don't think I have ever said "I am going to fight this guy next mon." or something like that (maybe in 3rd grade or something). Fights just seem to happen unplanned.

Burner02 · 05-01-2004, 10:44 PM

"right, so I can pencil you in for a 4'0-clock beatin'....try not to be late. I hate rudeness.."

Well, if you happen to be in a particular place where he is known to be...and you engage him in idleconversation..and he decides to aggress you..you have no choice but to defend yourself.

As far as the physical part goes.....I would't worry about it. Know how good you feel (euphric) a while after your workout? (not right after...I am usually pretty much hating life right after my workout..if I pushed it)
But after you have recovered? You feel light, energized. Pumped.
Keep lifting. Sounds like you are giving this guy power over you and your GF. You are the master and commander of your fate.

Like I said earlier. Be where he is. Get in his grill. Confront him. Verbally. If he backs down, great. Psycologically beat his ass.
If not..get him to swing first. Can you fight? Can he fight? most people are right handed. Most people will power swing. (right handed) anticipate it. Respond, counter, go on the offensive and take him out.

myCATpowerlifts · 05-01-2004, 11:20 PM

dont go for body shots unless you have to....

Its a fight not boxing

just hit him in the nose
he wont be able to see if you get in a good shot

myCATpowerlifts · 05-01-2004, 11:25 PM

that being said

I would avoid fighting if you can

In the end it wont really solve anything....especially if you get creamed....

Fighting to me is a last resort....Its just "barbaric" to me
hitting someone with your closed fist?
just the thought sounds stupid to me
but w/e
