I been really upping my training lately and learning about training. Heres what Ive come up with to start doing. Monday - Strength/Power training Tuesday - Boxing training Wednesday - Strength/Power training Thursday - Boxing Training Friday - Strength/Power training Saturday - Rest Sunday - Rest (Occassionally some sparring) So for the Strength/Power training the first 4 weeks will be strength training with the next 4 weeks being power training (will take me up to start of season) Strength Everything 4 reps with 5 sets. Also will increase by 5kg every week. 40KG Squats 50KG Deadlift 40KG Benchpress 15KG (each hand) Shoulder Press 40KG Bench Pull 20KG Dumbbell Rows 50KG Leg Press Pull ups And Power will look like this Everything is 10 reps with 4 sets and a 3KG increase each week Jump Squat (Unweighted) Hurdle Jumps (Unweighted) Explosive Bench Press 25KG Medicine Ball Drops 5KG Medicine Ball Slams 5KG Clap Press Ups The boxing training looks like this. 3x3 sets of skipping/shadow boxing/bags/pads/sparring (one after the other) With condtioing sets thrown in Bunny Jumps over a bench 3x3 Punching with weight 3x3 (with 3KG weights, straight punches till exhaustion, drop weights punch for 20 seconds and then pick up weights) Burpees 3x3 (30 second burpees, 30 second shadow x 3) A mix and match of these so I get roughly 15-18 rounds for the night. So how does that look? Any improvements/suggestions? S
No road work? Also, increasing so much in weights every week seems a bit ambitious. You should be careful with injuries!
I think your squatting too light on your strength routine if if its the same amount you bench. Legs are your biggest and therefore strongest muscle so you should be able to do more
Alright, could be better. You? Oh yeh, I'm running in the mornings 30-45mins Yeh 5KG seem too much? It was just a guess whats a 'safe' increase? Aye, it was quite easy. What it was is anything more than 40KG and I was struggling to get it on my back. Cause its just free weights and a barbell i have
Good to hear. I see. A safe increase would be to lift whatever you feel your body can manage. :good It's hard to set such goals before you've even started on the plan.
Can't comment really on the routine as i am just a noob to training myself but i didf have a similair problem with my squats and not being able to get anymore than 50 kg up onto my back with the barbell, what i do now is also have 30 kgon my back in my dads old army burgun. Does the job like. (I think burgun is the right word, basically a big hefty rucksack).
Ok cheers for the advice Never thought of that. Think Im just going to get a key to a gym down the street which has like a squat weights shelf thing
Have you tried these weights? I bet you can lift heavier than that. I started out lifting properly a few months ago and was an unhealthy mess and I benched 40kgs 12x3 with ease.
