After seeing a Wikipedia page on strength training I decided to make my explosive strength workouts part-complex.

Complex training is where you use a static maximal exercise followed by an explosive.  This has the added bonus of making your explosive exercise more powerful.

So here goes today’s workout:

  • Single Clap Half-Pushups: 8 reps x 4 sets
  • One-legged Ankle Hops ¤: 20 reps x 3 sets ( + 13kg dumb bell added weight)
  • Push Jerk Θ: 4 reps x 2 sets

This was a much smaller set than last weeks and that’s mainly due to my extreme EIT workout yesterday and my muscle having not recovered.  Each rep was exhausting and I’m probably close to over-training.  Thank god tomorrow is Rest Day.
