Wuts ur sport and how do u condition for it(o lifts, basic core moves, stongman comlexes, band work, sprints, jogging, etc)
I like going to martial arts gyms for karate and submission grappling. In the off season i use basic moves for strength but when i want conditiong ill have a session each week for speed/power with plyos/o lifts and the other is for strength/endurance workout that uses stongman complexes like doing a yoke walk, no rest, sled pull, no rest and tire flips for example.
Swimming contains lots of work close to or at your maximal VO2 rate with emphasis on low stroke count and with the intention of lowering your heartbeat under stressful conditions as much as possible. As a result conditioning sessions often involve something like 20x100 freestyle with the rest period decreasing for 2 seconds each 100 until you are basically sprinting non stop. Land training involves lots of supersets but weight training hasn’t really permeated down to club swimming - my coach told me not to gain any muscle - so a lot of us use upper/lower body routines. Lots of core work.
I’m into judo, shingitai jiu-jitsu, and softball.
I do a bunch of things to keep conditioned…
EDT squats, bench, DLs and pullups.
Burpees, jump rope, weighted burpees, heavy and speed bags.
Rolling.
A tire and sledge circuit… sledge hammer hits, sled drag, sledge hammer, tire flip, sledge hammer, tire carry.
Tire push, yoke runs, keg throws.
C2 Rowing
Hill sprints
My conditioning workouts are rarely the same from workout to workout.

damn man u must be in great shape!
The sport’s Shinergy. Never heard of it? Doesn’t matter, check out www.shinergy.com.
I’m instructor at my own club (www.shinergy-stadlau.com), teaching 5 days a week. Doing so means GPP for a couple of hours every day ;).
Anyways, since I’m a competitive standup-fighter (Kickboxing and Open-style Taekwon-Do, mostly), I’ve been incorporating kettlebells into my training. As a matter of fact, I’ve been running a conditioning class for my students for about a year now. Lots of kettlebell drills, bodyweight, medicine balls, some dumbbell exercise…
Also, lots of rope skipping, some long-distance running (Yes. I know here on TMuscle nobdy likes the term long-distance running. I’m doing it anyways to help me with my regeneration. Train twice a day and we’ll talk about active regeneration.) and sprinting.
Before I’ve torn my side band, I also attended judo classes once or twice a week, to help me with my strength endurance.
By the way, just got my new kettlebells - so I’m pretty excited ;).
(More on Shinergy, our training, etc. can be found on my blog → lukaspezenka.blogspot.com).
Cheers
My sport is BJJ, I train a lot to get that grappling strength and cardio, and weight train with KB’s, bodyweight and clubbells.
I train volleyball aprox. 4-5x a week, and 5-6 gym sessions. I don’t do any extra work, but I would if I had the time. In the preseason, out of some crazy reason, our coach makes us run this crazy distances (8 miles)…

To be honest, that crossed my mind a thousand times. Even as a development coach or match coach he is pretty bad. I’ve been training volleyball for 4 years now, and I still do not know some essential skills…
But, he is the Coach and we players don’t make the calls…

National second league. And the sad thing is, if I had the right coaching I would be at level I am now 2-3 years ago… In the club, at least 3 players are first league quality, all players that were made by coaches before. Hell, I would be first league material if I lost 40 pounds (my vertical would rocket, I’m 230+)
And we have 0:5 currently…

You know, if wishes were fishes, poor men wouldn’t starve. Sorry to say, but as long as you’re not a professional athlete in the sense that you get money out of your sport, you’ll have to take care of your own conditioning. Let your coach teach you technique, tactics and all the specific stuff, that’s his job. Do what he’s expecting you to do (even those runs), that’s your job.
Then, work on your general conditioning (strength, endurance, speed). That’s what gives you an edge.

What keeps you from losing 40 pounds? Your coach? I doubt it. Fix your diet, train properly,… I’m pretty sure you know how to do that. Why don’t you? If you need info on how to lose that weight, well, you’re in the right place here at tmuscle. Nobody’s gonna lose weight for you, pal. Get to work, switch to 1st league, get a better coach. Simple as that.

the truth there. How bad do you want it?
I’m 38, and I still play competitive flag football, and co-ed beer league softball. The football is way more intense.
For strength training, I follow Wendler 5/3/1.
For conditioning, I do the “300” workout once a week, I’m down to around 25 minutes.
Finally, I do sprints twice a week. I really go at it when I sprint, usually doing 10x50m, 10x100m, and 5x300m. Takes around 40 minutes, I measure my rest intervals, etc.
Overall, I love the shape I’m in. My diet could use some help, but my fitness is good. I still have great games in flag football every few weeks.

Nothing kept me, except my for more mass and muscle and seeing worthless trying gave me nothing.
Yesterday got a new coach, all is much better now I belive.
And I think you misunderstood me, my conditioning is pristine because I take care of it myself, I can play good volleyball, but my skill and tehnique levels are very poor due to lack of focus on that on training days (I can jump, I’m fast enough and have the head for volleyball)
Now, on to losing 40 pouns, I’ll put BB dreams on hold

Good luck.
Judo.
Tabata intervals (very similar to what a randori is)
1x5min 1x4min 1x3min
OR
2x8min
(a randori at MOST will have 8min, asumming that you didn’t score anything and you opponent didn’t ethier, i.e. “golden score”)
I do these ethier sprinting near to my house or in a stationary/spinning bike
Also:
semi-heavy barbell complexes (meaning that you’re not using just the bar or 5 lb plates because you added curls into the complexes.)
-Hang clean x 6 (never more than 6, I have kinda good technique on the clean, but if it flaws i’ll drop it)
-Squat: x6
-Push press: x6
-Front Squat: x6
-Barbel row: x6
-Deadlift: x6
-Floor Press: x6
-Pull ups: x6
wait 1`30`` and repeat 4-5 times.
For fat loss i do thouse thib’s progresive intervals or if i do fasted cardio, go 5-10 min all out and then 30-40 min of steady state
Rowing.
we do ergo meter drills, long distance runs, weight circuits, bw circuits, and complexes
Sprint Football
It’s a varsity college level sport. It’s full contact football with NCAA rules and a 172 lb weight limit (weigh in twice weekly).
If you want more info: Sprint football - Wikipedia that might be accurate, I didn’t read it…
I focus a lot on building up my strength, with a major emphasis on my lower body. Since I can only weigh 172, I try to stay around 185 in the offseason at a reasonable BF and then drop down my BF slowly over the summer. Right now, my training looks like so since I just got into the offseason and am focused on building strength.
Monday: Lower body lift (Quad dominant)
Tuesday: Hill sprints 10 x 10-20 seconds/Core work
Wednesday: Upper body lift (Anterior dominant)
Thursday: Lower body lift (Hamstring Dominant)
Friday: HIIT or steady-state, depends on how my legs feel
Saturday: Upper body lift (deadlift included)
Sunday: Rest
As I get closer to the season, and especially during my cut, I tend to drop a day of lifting and switch from an upper/lower split to something that looks like so:
Monday: Lower body lift (High)
Tuesday: Hill sprints/agility/Core work (Moderate)
Wednesday: Upper body lift (Moderate)
Thursday: Plyometric work (vertical)/agility/sprints (Low)
Friday: Full Body Lift (Moderate)
Saturday: Plyometric work (horizontal/direction change)/agility/core work (Low) or complexes (aka: hell on earth)
Sunday: Rest (Low)
With a carb cycling diet that corresponds to the lows and highs listed above.
