Hey Guys! I am a tricker(also a martial artist) I made a routine for tricking: Everyday(Sunday Off)-Taekwondo Class(Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat-1 hour class, tues, thurs-1 hr 45 min class to 2 hours) Everyday-Stretching-20 minutes Plyometrics-25-30 minutes each session, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday Tricking-20-45 minutes each session, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday I had a weight routine but i want to drop if FOR NOW, and focus on bodyweight training only.(maybe once in a while i will preform a weight routine) I was thinking,When could i preform a bodyweight routine, and how many times per week?(goal:strength, speed, power/explosiveness, vertical height increase, endurance, i already hv flexibility) Thanks to all who respond!
Hey! Before I say anymore I'm a traceur and free runner more than tricked, but: You can do bodyweight plyo work, clap pressups, jump squats ect that'll be more useful, do them as part of your normal exercise routine, just add them in! (Also if you're in England pm me about a tricking meet or something!) Hope that helped, if I misunderstood just say
I have, he said that it would be a good idea to do it on the same day as tricking and plyometrics, but from a seperate time( bodyweight exercises in morning and tkd, tricking, plyo in evening), but i also want to see other peoples opinion on this
to gapjumper: I feel Tricking is helping my martial arts because i feel i get more strength and explosiveness in basics
to hewho: Thanks, so you are saying i shuld do bodyweight exercises on same day as plyometrics, Currently, i am not in england
I mix it up, jump squats, jumping calf raises, clap pressups for speed and power for tricks, where slow twitch muscles are less useful, but I'll also train slow twitch for other stuff I do. Ah gutted! Do what is useful, experiment!
No. You need to be able to to progressively increase the width and weight of your squats. Pistols don't build side split specific ROM and those dumbbells are too light.
