Once again I’ve decided to redo the programme.  Its getting increasingly difficult to keep tabs on what day has what – even when its in my face on the wall every day.

Another problem I’m having is the clashing with ju jutsu and ken jutsu.  If I’m doing a 5 or 6 day split then its inevitable I’ll end up doing something completely incompatible.  E.g. Maximal strength + ken jutsu = not being able to hold a sword.

So I’m switching to a 7 day programme which follows the days of the week, my training schedule and the rest of the world!

I’m going to put this in the calendar on the left as well as publishing a Google Calendar feed at a later date.  Theres notes explaning this below.

But in summary:

Day Primary Core Training
Mon Maximal Strength Light Core
Tue ICT or EIT or MMA Workout Full Core Ju Jutsu (dojo)
Wed Core, Neck, Forearms or Ashtanga Ken Jutsu (dojo)
Thu Plyometric Strength Full Core or Ashtanga
Fri EIT or ICT or MMA Workout Ju Jutsu (dojo)
Sat Maximal Strength Light Core Ju Jutsu (home)
Sun Rest Ken jutsu (home)
  • Stretching – Every morning or lunch time (time dependent) I’ll go through a stretching routine.
  • Push Ups – My push up endurance isn’t developing as much as I’d like so I’m upping this and creating a seperate programme for it.
  • Core Work – I’m doing core work almost every day.  I’ve found my core recovers and develops a lot quicker than anything else so I’m not too worried about hammering it.
  • Tricking – Part of the reason for doing all this is I’d like to do some of the funky stunts or even just hand stand push ups would be nice!  So I’m going to do the following on alternate days:
    • Assisted (against a wall) hand stands x 3
    • Spin kicks x 3 (both legs)
    • …etc…(to be completed)
