not photogenic? PUHLEASE!
Welcome back yo.
Hola Amigo,
I forgot that it gets cold in NY. In winter I wear a tracksuit outside when training. You can get specific soccer training tracksuits, where the pants are tailored so they became “skinny” towards the bottom of the leg so they dont get all soggy and wet and in the way. I think there is a video of me squatting in a pair, which lead to a bunch of people making fun of my “capri” pants.
Anyway, how is Hope Solo going? Can you send me a link of the commercial that you were in? What is Hope like in real life? Is she nice? What does she do(besides playing futbol)?
I also wear copas. But this year I think Im going to go Nike… maybe the mercurials.
As for training, just keep on doing as you are. Ideally most of your training should be done with a ball. Do most of your conditioning work with a ball. Became one with the ball. 2-3 strength sessions a week is all that you need.

All you need is a good photographer sweetheart add big cheesy grin
good luck on the next round! curious to see what you come up with.
Here’s a thread on block vs rack pulls, FYI
And yeah, put some numbers up in this bitch, WOULD YOU?!

I’m also in the midst of planning my programming for the next few months or so. I really only have one goal for 2012 and that’s to play soccer in March when Spring season starts.
So now I’m writing out the programming - its very S&C centered, which frankly I don’t know much about. Lol! I played D3 in college and we didn’t do shit aside from, you know, play soccer…
But anyways, tomorrow I’ll post the workout and you guys will get a better idea of what’s in store for the next few months. I’m excited because its super fun stuff that I love to do! But I’m also a bit perplexed at how I’m supposed to arrange the rest of my training. How often do I do S&C workouts? how long o I wait between these workouts? Do I just work on agility and soccer on the off days?
And this is so fucking newb of me, but I get the “conditioning” part of my workouts - just not the “strength” HAHA! Like, am I supposed to be building strength, or just work on conditioning?

So…how is the template coming along? Just don’t overthink it

I was all gung-ho to hit the gym today since I’ve been sick and tired of my rinky dink condo-gym training. UGH!!

I initially read that as condom training…And I can’t even remember what conditioning is anymore.

You know I’m totally overthinking this…lol!
Its coming along! I just need to do a wee bit more research on some stuff and then I can post it for all to see the mastery that is… [i] Mascherano’s 2012 Training Regime! [/i]
And obviously to get feedback
In case anyone’s curious, German is referring to a template that I’m using to set up my training for the next year given my goals, soccer playing schedule, etc. Its really quite cool to set up your training like this because you’re able to better compartamentalize the things you should/need/want to do (strength, conditioning, footwork, etc.) to achieve your desired outcome. At least in my opinion.
Anyways, more on this to come!
I come here for the numbers, and all you have is “2012”
Max!! Thank you so much for the articles! I loved it. Read it this morning with my coffee. Lots of good info. And you know you could never piss me off!! Silly. I <3 you big time!
Kev - Phew, glad i missed the cold, but its hot as balls today. WTF? And I’m interested to see what your next programming is going to be like. I love the way you train. I pretty much live vicariously through you. Tiny super jock in training!
Matty - thanks buddy! Good to be back fo’ sho’
Bird - Yeah, I got some track suits…and you’re right, I know I should really get some ball work in outside. I even have the perfect place by my house with turf and a wall…UGH!! FINE!! I’ll put more ball work into my program. I’ll do you proud! And yeah, the mercurials are nice! I imagine you’ll get neon yellow and blue?
Frenchie - anytime you want to be my photographer I’m all yours!
Thanks, Inky! I’ll check that link out. I thought of you today when I did my GHRs btw. But they were legit and didn’t include a bunch of kids eating cheerios out of baggies. Just sayin’
NUMBERS!! They are here!! Rejoice!
Today’s session:
Everything is done in combos. You super set the exercises and then minimal rest between the sets.
1A) Hang cleans - 4x10x75
1B) Clapping pushups - 4x10
2A) Push press - 2x10x75, 9x75, 10x70 < had to drop weight, wasn’t locking out
2B) Back squat - 10x95, 2x10x105, 10x115 < was having trouble finding a weight that was comfortably, uncomfortable. Lol! Also I kept having to adjust my form. At first I started low-bar with a wider stance but I felt I was leaning forward to much, so I switched to high bar, narrow stance and i think this suits me much better.
3A) Pistol squats - 4x10
3B) Chest supported row - 10x35, 3x10x45
4A) GHR - 12xBW, 3x12x10 < seriously, i can’t be doing these right…they burn my hammies, but they’re not THAT hard. I need to check the form on these. I do love them tho. And I feel lucky to have a legit GHR device in my gym
4B) Side lat raise - 12x15, 3x12x12.5
4C) skull crushers - 4x12x30
- Ab rollouts 4x10 < originally I wanted to finish this with a quad matrix but I was being super lazy. lol!
And that’s it! Fun sesh. Left me a bit shaky, which makes me feel good (oddly). I wish i were lifting heavier weights on the hang cleans and stuff. Might lower the reps to 8 on the bigger lifts to move a bit more weight…or might just suck it up and move more weight. Lol!
I just hate that i don’t have bumper plates!!
Anywho, next one of these will be on Friday - a whole new gamut of exercises! YAY!
Tomorrow, pullups groan agility and ball work giggle

It sucks being wrong, doesn’t it?
LOLOLOL!
Seriously, good work right there ^^.
SFW!
LWI!
and GFH!
today was not only hotasfug but it rained
nice work fo sho
I like that training lay out
you probably know I am a big fan of paired training
I like to make it ‘antagonistic’
not always something like a push vs pull
sometimes with the same movement plane
push press - pullup
I am not sure where to take next training…
dbl post…
and I hate you for having a GHR
wow. i can’t believe how fast your feet move!!
Clapping push-ups? Srsly! You are a badass.

HAHAH! So true! Seriously, minimal rests between sets is probably the only way to keep me out of trouble!!
