"I never got very tweaked while training for fights-now that I'm kind of out of the picture, and training alot less intensely, I get tweaked all of the time."
Don't you think you answered your own question there? heh. When you are training consistently and your body is fit and strong and used to the fast powerful movements and pad holding then you won't be easily injured. But if you are training periodically and try throwing techniques like your body used too while your body is not as fit and strong then muscles will tear, tendons will snap and all around pain is going to occur.
I am an expert on the subject because I am the king of periodic training and injuring myself as a result.... like right frickin now.... I took 3 months off of serious training after my fight and now that I have jumped right back in my hamstring has a slight tear and Saturday I seriously twisted my ankle due to weak ankles from not training regularly. If I had moved into my training slowly enough to build up the strength of my body then I wouldnt have sprained my ankle so badly if at all.
