Thread: fixing my routine. help

bump

Not tryin' to bust your balls bro ... read the stuff that counts:

This is all a cut and hack job from P-funk's Training 101 sticky
- day 1- upper,
- day 2- lower,
- day 3- off,
- day 4- upper,
- day 5- lower,
- day 6 and 7 - off

OR

- day 1- upper push (chest, shoulder, tri),
- day 2- legs,
- day 3- upper pull (back and bi). With a day of rest inbetween workouts.

OR

- day 1- upper,
- day 2- lower,
- day 3- total body. With a day of rest inebween workouts.

Pick one danny and post your choice

i read tht for MMA you should do 3 full body workouts. and in rippetoes model he recomened full body workouts. i also prefer the full body becuase it is bettter on my knee. but im gonna have a look at these 3 choices and choose one.

My bad. You got a plan then roll with it. Don't let me throw you out of your plan.

I really don't see much wrong with the program you have there, Danny.

You're boxing Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It would make sense that you lift weights and strengthen your body Monday, Wednesday, Friday and then rest on Sunday.

As far as the routine goes. Since you really aren't performing that much volume, why vary between bench press and OH press? Why not just do both? We have completely different goals, but I might throw in Barbell Rows in there as well.

Workout:
Bench Press, 4 sets.
Deadlifts, 4 sets.
Squat, 4 sets.
OH Press, 4 sets.
BB Rows, 4 sets.

20 total sets should be plenty and you're really hitting everything. Just a little suggestion.

Oh and don't listen to BC. He's gayer than pmorphy1

BC knows alot actually. i was going to do cardio on my lifting days. what do you think of sprinting 3x3 min runs trying to work up to 3x5 min runs where i run 40yards every 20 seconds? i got it from another member here

Thanks for the reference cockmuscle. Good to know we still bro's

I will say I didn't read well enough though. I saw squat and bench on all 3 days and figured you didn't do your homework again.

The intensity of working your boxing on one day then weights the next leaves you no days for recovery. If you are all over the place doing cardio, weight training and boxing/MMA training all the time you'll start to see torn tendons and no progress. My point was that we have all been advising you to stick a day off in there somewhere in which you do NOTHING. You can rotate a conditioning routine like running and bag work with a strength routine such as squats/bench work and make better gains in both areas doing them seperately.

It's been debated in here time and time again whether to do cardio and weight training at the same time. All I can say on that one is listen to your body. If you have lasting muscle pains, like you've been having with your back and abs, then that's a sign you might be pushing too hard (not enough recovery time) and that it's time for a change. If you can do a full body work out followed by heavy bag work and hard training in boxing with gains and no injuries then cool. Most people have to work up to that level of intensity over a 6 to 12 month period.

I'd also add in that core needs to be there ... looks like it's not.

Hey man if I didn't respect what you've done while you've been here I'dda been rude. You always try to help people out and have earned my respect for that soxmuscle.

We cool man.

Its a kodak moment!

i do core on boxing days.

There is alot to revamp IMO, but I don't feel like explaining it all.

I will say back squatting three days a week is bad for you, especially when you are boxing and playing basketball several times a week which you said at one point. You already stated you had problems with your knees as well.

HIIT rocks. It's a well proven system. Lil bro you remind me of a youngster in a candy store with no spending limit. You see it all right there and you want it all right now. Hey it sux, but it just doesn't work like that. You gotta tone it down to a specific goal and set your schedule to meet that goal. I have every confidence in the world that as driven as you are danny you will achieve all your goals. You just gotta ... give yourself time to get there.

Rethink and repost a realistic goal. What do you want to do first? Build strength or improve your conditioning?

Ya I can attest to this. My initial routine had me working out six days a week with a pretty high intensity. Mainly it was due to stress on the home front but regardless I'm struggling with tendonitis in my right forearm in the brachioradialis area. This is a bitch 'cause it really limits your ability to get a thorough workout. Bottom line from this bla bla is make sure to get that recovery time in or you will lose in the long run.

alrigt my goal is to get conditioned.
