Forget the day. The one after the last one!
But I’m making Wednesday another conditioning day. So that’s 3 total in the 7 day week.
I’ll put up an updated programme tomorrow but in summary…
Monday: Maximal Strength
Tuesday: Conditioning
Wednesday: Conditioning
Thursday: Plyometric Strength
Friday: Conditioning
Saturday: Maximal Strength
Sunday: Active Rest
My numbers on the heart rate monitor are getting better and I’m [...]
Did 12 minutes of an MMA mp3 I put together for myself. I think I’ll plan them better next time as I was being torn through it way to quick.
For example:
Instruction: “20 push ups…..at 15…16…”
Me: “WTF – I’m still on 5!!!”
It included push ups, abs, break falls, shadow sparring, etc. Also did a JJ [...]
I did a rapid 9min ICT workout today:
Burpees: 30secs
Skip: 30secs
V-Ups: 30secs
Push Ups: 30secs
Star Jumps: 30secs
Shadow Boxing/Kicking: 30 secs
All that times 3. So a total of 9 minutes.
Gotta go!
I watched Ross Enamait’s conditioning DVD last week – well part of it. Up to the skipping part, but there’s a good reason for me not going any further: I’ve been skipping wrong all my life!!
My version of skipping involved me making a two-footed jump over the rope followed by a small two-footed hop for [...]
After reading more of Ross’ Full Throttle Conditioning book I now understand the difference between Integrated Circuit Training and Enhanced Interval Training.
It also highlights the importance of RTFM – because the books generally answer my questions about 1hr after I’ve asked them on the Ross Training message board!!
So anyway – onto the workout. I went [...]
Well here we are into the 3rd split of my programme and it starts with a 20 minute ICT workout I adjusted from Ross’ books. I think it was No.9. Anyway it involved the following:
10 Burpees.
10 Chinnies
10 Squats
10 Push Ups
Repeat until 20 mins is up. My arms packed up part way through so my burpees [...]
Today was meant to be an Enhanced Interval Training day but as I needed to catch up on a few body parts I started the day with some strength training of the calves:
Single Calf Raise: 15 reps x 3 sets
Then I did some isometrics experimentation which turned into an impromptu workout:
Bicep ‘Lifts’*: 5 seconds at [...]
Integrated Circuit Training. I don’t mind admitting that for most of the past 6 days I’d been dreading this workout. My first ICT workout almost made me throw the contents of my stomach all over the bathroom walls.
Having said that I’d started to notice a general feeling of well being, more agility and mobility. A [...]
My ICT workout almost killed my legs and then hacking my hams on strength yesterday as well as a ju jutsu class has really knackered my body so I’m going to break away from Ross’s programme which means missing an Enhanced Interval Training session but I’ll do that tomorrow.
Today I’ll be concentrating on upper body [...]
The first day of my new 50 day training programme. Spit, sweat, snot, agony and even blood!! I decided to do this for several reasons and this first day really tested my resolve. Having now got Ross Enamaits three training books and DVD I’m diving into this full whack.
So I start with the Integrated [...]
