No we celebrate kwanzaka, or however the hell it is spelt.



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Shoulder Blade pinches

Anyone have any suggestions for scapular work please feel free to drop a line.

Damn, first workout back and your tearing it up! I'm not posting my workouts now after that one!!!!

For scapular work I used to sit at the cable pulley with the v bar and let my shoulders go forward and then pull them back.



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Nah it wasn't my first workout back. I have just been very inconsistent. C'est la vie, but I plan to change that.

Happy New Year David, glad to see you are still around.

Thanks fufu! I enjoy most pressing movements, but unfortunately my ignorance when I was younger has led to some imbalances ie. shoulders

So I am trying to fix that a little, so hopefully I can play some ball again this summer.

That is the plan.

But some of the workouts will be circuit training type workouts. I know probably retard trying to combine strength and circuit style training in the same program, but what do I know

not retarded at all!!! it is great actually. For my clients looking for fat loss, we do total body workouts using non-competing supersets and then finish with circuits. A workout might look something like this:

warm up

1a) incline bench press
1b) deadlift

2a) chin up
2b) walking lunge

3a) 1 arm DB row
3b) push up plus (to hit the serratus....there is some scapular stabilizer work you ass fuck)

circuit:
burpees- 10 reps
planks (hold for time)
mt. climbers- 20sec
cable rotations
rest and repeat

stretch

See the thing is I have set workout for heavier weight, and set workout for Circuit style training.

I like the circuit training, cause it short and intense with a short break, anerobic, kinda like a shift in hockey.

Then there is always the goal to get a little stronger. That is why it is stupid, cause I am focusing on two things.

Circuit 1
Deadlift
Bent over BB rows
Hang Clean
Calf Raise
Military Press
DB Bench Press
Crunches
Planks 20 sec hold

60 sec rest

Circuit 2
SLDL
Shrugs
Split squat
Jumpsquat
BB curls
Crunches
Planks 20 sec hold

60 sec rest Repeat circuit 8 reps per exercise.

used BB with 2 quarters except the Bench press was with 50lbs dbs and jump squats were BW. Planks are a killer at the end of the cycle.

take a look at my journal. Almost all the workouts are super sets or non-competing muscles and I train for strength.

if you are going to do it 4x's a week, think in terms of push and pull. it is a friggin lot of work to train like that!

so, let me just give you an example template, and then plug in some exercises:

day 1
1a) bilateral knee dom exercise
1b) horizontal push

2a) unilateral knee dominant
2b) unilateral vertical push

conditioning

day2
1a) bilateral hip dom
1b) vertical pull

2a) unilateral hip dom
2b) unilateral pull

and then repeat with different variables.....


So, in a weeks time, might look like this (again, this is a lot of work. I don't know if you can handle it)

mon- day1 (strength) 3sets x 6-8 reps; RI= 90-120sec
1a) squat
1b) bench press

2a) split squat
2b) DB incline press

conditioning

tues- off

wed- day2 (strength) 3x6-8
1a) deadlift
1b) chin up

2a) step up
2b) 1-arm DB row

conditioning

thurs- off

fri- day3 (metabolic work) 2-3 x 10-12
1a) front squat
1b) overhead press

2a) walking lunge
2b) DB bench press

3a) triceps
3b) core

no conditioning

sat- day4 (metabolic work) 2-3 x 10-12; RI= 60-90sec
1a) RDL or 1-leg RDL
1b) cable row

2a) stability ball glute bridge with leg curl
2b) chin up (or pulldown if you can get thos reps)

3a) biceps
3b) core

no conditioning

sun- rest
