Typical training session: 1 hour on the cross trainer. 10 minute break. 4 rounds on the bag - typical 1 minute break. ------------------------------------------------- Sit-ups with high resistance. 5 sets of 8 Incline bench. Pull downs. --------------------------------------------------- 5 minute burst on rowing machine. --------------------------------------------------- Play around in the pool after wards, eat two eggs and a bannana, and have a long walk home.
Why do you do 1 hour on the cross trainer then do weights? Actually, why do you do 1 hour on the cross trainer?
Why not? I am in horrid shape at the moment and my main interest is in using calories. I am not a boxer. And I will only train for powerlifting when I am in good shape.
To those I sent out the general powerlifitng advice to, I will write up something for the squat and deadlift. I have a lot of boring E-mails and letters to send over the weekend but if you want to see how my lifting sessions will go just say and I will add you to my PM list for when I have time to make a plan. As with the running I will be hitting the weights in earnest when I am at 250.
Jazzo's training thread update. Hmm. I think I might have a hiatal hernia, though it is unlikely to be at risk of strangulation. Just noticed some strong symptoms (these are not hernias that stick out) but they are not uncommon. Even then, only a severe deadlift session followed by weighted crunches can irritate me in the slightest. Unlikely to be an ulcer I am told.
Oh, Amy, if you read this I would like to highlight the following. I am very pleased to have my caffeine binging under control (used a little help) and the "casual" cigarettes seem to be a thing of the past. Vile habit.
I'm not Amy, obv. But good. Cigarettes and caffeine are total **** for you. So what are the symtoms of the hernia? Acid reflux? Vomiting? Better get it checked out if so.
It is fine. Most have no symptoms but I have a suspicion. Even if it is as I suspect there should be no problem.
Favourite routines at the moment. 20 rep deadlifts. 6 rounds on the bag. After that I work on power punches and kicking. Running up steps with 25lb weights on my back. Good old cross trainer on lazy days. Even started to run a little. :happy:happy:happy I will be at my target 225 by November I think.
They let the body earn a more "natural" type of strength compared to dumbbells. There are tons of articles on their benefits.
