weight training ........

So it's best not to have this same routine if you going to work at it more then once a week? Why is that?

 

Because training it at the intensity I stated - and following squats with Deadlifts, would be too much. For more than once per week I would include a different mix - maybe Squat & Deadlift in one workout and Squat & Power Clean or Hang Clean in the other. I would also include overhead press or push-press in one workout and maybe mix up the cing s& pullups a little.

 

......on the subject of weight training & conditioning in general - I'm about to start a new training protocol which is different from anything I've used before. It involves weights & bodyweight exercises and all manner of other stuff.

This is partly because I'm injured and need to take at least 8 weeks or so off martial arts training - but regulated conditioning is something I can work on whilst working around the injury (it's my hip).

I'm not going to give too much away - I'm unsure of the merits of this type of training so its Yoda the guinee pig time. From what I hear & from what I've read this is gonna rock. Watch this space

 

Dave, how about a training diary article from you about it? Once you've done 8 weeks you could do a pro' and con's write up on the routine?

Just a thought.

You read my mind

I'll log everything for the next 3 months

 

Day 1, training hard, still not King.

Day 34, still training hard, I think the other gym users are admiring my lycra. Still not King.

 

Sounds great Yoda, I can't wait to hear your report.

 

LOL! You've been reading that Aragorn diary methinks

Have you read others?

 

since this is still on the topics of conditioning, can anyone give me a good site on how to make a makiwara.

 

As we know 90% of fights end up on the ground. Have you ever had a 6'5" 315lb bodybuilder laying on top of you on the ground? Me nether but, I bet it SUCKS.

 

LOL!
