Coach Davies - I have gone through this thread to see if we’ve missed anything, but it looks as though we’ve covered what I originally asked. So thank you very much. Of courese, I wouldn’t mind going into a little more detail in some areas. For instance, are there any particular drills that I should personally incorporate into my proprioreception work/strength development/GPP? Of course I am working within the guidelines you have given me so far for each of these.
Dont hesitate to ask but if not I’ll have to meet up with you in New Zealand. In faith,Coach Davies
Coach Davies - Thanks. So are there any particular drills that I should regularly incorporate into my proprioreception work/strength development/GPP? Or is it simply more important that I do some work within each area sticking to the guidelines you have already given me?
Also, I forgot to mention it earlier, but I have had 2 workouts this week (both of which I have structured from your guidelines) and I have to say they have been absolutely great. Hard, but I come out feeling good. I feel this is mainly because I am feeling that I am really getting something out of them.
Lets try this, fairly simple. Witin your weight training days for week 1, start a gpp cycle or 8,10 & 12 minute duration, consisting of jumping jacks, shuffle jacks, burpees and mountain climbers. On non-weighted training days of week 1, let use 10 & 16 gpp of jumping jack, shuffle, vertical hops and side to side line hops. In addition each workout commences with 6, 3 minute rounds of rope skip, in which you take a one-minute active rest. In week 1, lets have the first three rounds consist of basic situps (approx 25), the final rounds with v-sits. Take a look at that and we’ll look at the strength component. In faith, Coach Davies
Thats great Coach Davies. Thanks. A question though, what are mountain climbers? Also how exactly do you perform vertical hops and side to side line hops?
Coach Davies - I have another (hopefully) quick question. Is it alright to be training for approximately 2 and 1/2 hours? Or should I shorten something? I ask because when you add the 24 minute warm up, 24 minutes of stretching, 60 minutes of sport work and approx. 45 minutes of on land training (GPP, proprioreception, strength development) it adds up to 153 minutes (2 hours, 33 minutes). Now I read elsewhere that you keep training sessions to a max of 11 hours per week - of course I may have taken this out of context. I am able to train for 2 and 1/2 hours, but I was wondering if I should be. Thanks.
Your concern is valid but your training will change substantially soon. In faith, Coach Davies
Tried this today, Hooked a ten pound plate by a rope to my D-ring, forearms and back are scorched…
Coach Davies - I’ll take your word on it. By the way, I just had a great week training - using your recomendations. I went at it full force and each of the training sessions just seemed to fly by. They were hard, and I was usually breathing heavily, but I did enjoy them.
