Thread: Xtreme Want...to be the best!!!

For how long?

A good route to take is work on pushing your anaerobic threshold, then work on your endurance.

The higher your anearobic threshold the more endurance you will ultimately have.

I'd be happy to assist you but I'm sure you'll have lots of suggestions. If you don't get a program that suits you then let me know.

Exercise, my drug of choice

Here is a program that will kick your a$$:3x3 or "metabolic conditioning" is what this routine is most commonly known as.Select three exercises.One for the thighs/hips, one for the shoulder girdle, and one for the upper back.Example: 1)Squats 2)dips 3)chins.Perform the exercises in a circuit, meaning, perform the exercises one after another with no rest intervals.Perform 3 circuits which is three sets per exercise.1st set=15-20 reps for thighs/hips and 12 reps for upper body.2nd set=12-15 for thighs/hips and 10 reps for upper body.3rd set=8-12 reps for thighs/hips and 8 reps for upper body.This routine not only stresses the muscles but the cardiovascular system as well.It should be performed no more than three times a week.Two would be sufficient for most people.For variety you could switch exercises every time.One day squats, the next day leg presses or deadlifts.Just a suggested routine for you.
