Jazzo's training log, by request.

Did stone lifting today.

I have 5 good ones. Some are sharpish, but I am mega-tough. Form is obviously essential but I do not wear a weight belt. I hit almost everything raw, unless I need to overload my body, like when I do neg reps.

Matter of picking them up and hoisting them above the shoulders and walking with them. I've been doing it for a while - be sane when you do this. Err on the side of caution. I think some dude has a video up.

I walked with all 5.

They say the squat is the king. Well, I actually think the deadlift is. You don't need a damn rack and spotter for a kick off.

This beats them both. I got exponentially stronger in every way after I started this.

Went to the gym later and played some dumbell games, such as seeing who will drop first. Did a few demos for isolation exercise for my buddy. That was it.

 

Tomorrow's plan:

No weights. Been weights all damn week.

2 hours of cardio and a 1 hour swim.

I'll do some push ups and sits ups and narrow grip pull-ups.

 

The cardio will be boxing work. Bag, rope, fighting my shadow, pads if my special buddy is there. Then more bag work.

Running is too boring.

Just no sparring. Well, maybe some very light stuff - I am too damn tempted.

 

Oh, by the way, I had a buddy who worked out every week for about three years and just could not gain after a few months (weight or lifts). He did OK, but his lifts just would not go up after a while. For 2 years in fact. He ate everything but would just throw up. He worked hard as well. Ate well too.

He did not lift stones, or deadlift. He used a smith machine for squats.

After he started loading his body - deadlifts, squats, lifting stones, maxing out more often and neg/half reps to overload the body, his bench increased so much that it really was like he was roiding. He was not, I'm sure because I lived with him. Just the change. He put on something like 20 pounds in 6 months after not being able to gain on the James Toney Diet.

 

Played table tennis and got taken to school by an 85 year old.

 

Maybe. I have a phobia. Recently let someone take my pic in a club. It was a big step for me.

Anyway, tomorrow.

Aerobic class for an hour. Weights to music!

 

02.

In the gym twice.

1st session.

5 * 3 mins on the bag. 3*3 min skipping. 300 crunches. 50 *50 metre sprints. 1 mile fast run (fast for me).

2nd.

2 1 hour classes. 1 using light weights and the other was stationary cycling. The latter nearly killed me.

 

Just threw up from the above.

Good stuff.

 

20 press ups * 3 3 times a day.

Chef said klitschos do this.

So, I figured, why not?

 

Finished them. And yeah, this is one thing I have ignored except when doing circuit training in boxing or sport.

I used to do 200 press ups everyday in my early teens. Just got to stressful to do it everyday.

But just breaking into small sets like this is easy and can be done everyday.

 

One other thing I have always done to boost my overall strength is carry a heavy backpack... everywhere. Just all my huge textbooks.

I also used to run upstairs with dumbbells in the back. I know Tyson loves to do this and I guess that is where I picked it up. So, I am having a three day rest and going to the park to do hill training. I'll detail it.

I have printed all this stuff out for my gym buddies and got a couple of them to so the same. Really interesting.
