Basically, I’m a lazy-ass student who always makes plans but never follows through on them. So I decided I’ll start a log on here and hopefully some people will read it and rip me apart when I mess up.
Background: Have always done some sort of martial art as long as I can remember, and though I’ve done a bit of judo/kickboxing I’ve never competed full-contact, only semi and forms/weapons.
I have come home to Bristol for the summer and plan to be fit enough to start training seriously for full contact competition when I go back to uni in London in October, which gives me three months.
Details:
20yo, 6’2" , 70kg(154lbs)
Squat-100kg(220)
Bench-80kg(176)
DL-140kg(308)
Military press-60kg(132)
I am not working atm (long story…) so don’t have access to a gym, but my rugby club just around the corner has several kegs outside so am planning to use those for strength work.(Any recommendations for this would be very useful) Also my lack of money means I have little(no) control over my diet so I won’t bother posting that until I start work.
Aims:
I want to get stronger, flexible and insanely conditioned, dunno if this is the right word but I want a strong strawberry and enough puff to last:)
Also, I want to use this summer to set habits that will last me forever.
So, I think I’m sorted with flexibility. But am unsure how to schedule strength and conditioning workouts. I am thinking:
Monday-Intervals(hill sprints)
Tuesday-Rugby training, PNF stretching
Wednesday-Strength
Thursday-Skill work(gymnastics, forms etc.)
Friday- Intervals(bodyweight circuits), PNF stretching
Saturday-Strength, strongman finisher
Sunday-Rest
Any help with this schedule would be awesome. I will also be doing dynamic stretches every morning and as part of each warm-up, and static passive stretching after each workout.
Anyway, thanks for reading and I’ll post again tomorrow morning after my first dynamic stretching session
