A new journal (Heavy/Medium/Other)

[yellowmoomba]

Here's my new workout plan It's broken down into three week chunks. Week 1 will be heavy (5 reps), Week 2 is medium (10 reps) and Week 3 will be an assortment of different exercise with ranging rep ranges. I will increase the weight by 5-10 lbs for week 4 then again on week 7 and so on.

I already started this type of workout in my old journal. I'll just pickup where I left off. I'm on Week 3 and doing Back/Bis today.

Dang, pretty precise routine youve got planned out. Looks kind of similar to GP's P/RR/S. Good luck.

I did use Gopro's P/RR/S before. It worked out great. This workout is a combination of P/RR/S and MaxOT - at least that's how I came up with this routine.

I only want to lift three days since I'll be playing football one night a week and doing some other type of cardio training another day.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks I'm not doing deads on week 3 during my leg day but I am doing Sumo Style on Back day during week 3. I wanted to switch things up a bit. I'm doing conventional deads on my Leg Day on week 1 and 2. I know there's been a lot of discussion on when to do Deads so I figured I do them on Leg day for two weeks then do them on back day for one week just to change things up. You are very observant!

things are things

Are you playing ball again this year as well as football?

 

[yellowmoomba]

things are things

I'll probably just play football from September to December. I'll play pickup ball once/twice a week for my cardio. Depending on if we keep playing football - I may look into a Krav Maga class rather than basketball. I wasn't really excited about playing last year. I'd rather just play pick up basketball to stay in shape.

 

[naturaltan]

What is Krav Maga?

 

[yellowmoomba]

What is Krav Maga?

Hey NT

visit www.kravmaga.com

Krav Maga is the official self defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, and has been taught to hundreds of law enforcement agencies and thousands of civilians in the United States. Krav Maga is a simple, effective self defense system that emphasizes instinctive movements, practical techniques, and realistic training scenarios.

I'm going to check out a class probably next month to see if it's something I want to sign up for. I've taken Judo and Hapkido in college. It was fun and I got really flexible. I checked out Tae Kwon Do after college but I really didn't find it "practicle".

August 11, 2004

I just finished my first three weeks of this new program. I was testing certain exercises and weights. I'm going to adjust a few exercises and continue to do this program for nine more weeks ( three - three week chunks) then re-evaluate. I notices that my energy level for shoulders after doing legs is low. I'll see how the next three weeks go. I may have to break out shoulders into its own day.

My hernia repair seems to be feeling much better. It's been 9 weeks since surgery. I still can't do all the ab exercises that I used to but I'm sure in the next month or so I'll be back to normal. I haven't sprinted yet but running and cutting hasn't been a problem.

Today is a much needed OFF DAY. I weighed in at 186 this morning. My waist is just above 34". I'm sure I can get to 33 1/2" within the next 10 days then I'm going on our annual HOUSE BOAT TRIP for four days down in Lake Cumberland, KY.

I've been there before. When I lived in Ohio we spent a couple of weekends at Lake Cumberland. Beautiful place!! Also did some camping in the Daniel Boone National Forest at Red River Gorge. Awesome scenery.

I've heard of that system ... guess it just didn't register. I saw a program on TLC one time abouit different martial arts. KM looked quite impressive. As you have said, it's simple and effective. You can save the fancy footwork for when you start to run from trouble.

Let me know how that goes ... it sounds very interesting. I don't see anyone teaching it here.

 

[yellowmoomba]

Jersey - Lake Cumberland is awsome. The scenery is beautiful. It's just a lot of fun to get away from home with 15 of your friends for a 4 day long party

NT - I'll let you know how KM goes It does seem like a "useful" skill to have. We'll leave the fancy footwork to running and basketball

You play real football or flag ?

 

[yellowmoomba]

You play real football or flag ?

I play full-contact flag football No pads - just turf shoes, shorts and a jersey. It's very physical. Blocking above the waist is allowed. Chucking the receiver is allowed. Knocking people down is DEFINATELY allowed. The refs let a lot of things slide. We play 7 on 7 indoors so we can play all year round. We actually run the ball alot so there is a lot of contact.

We play on Thursday nights. We have a bar that sponsors our team so we go out after the game for beer or two. It's a good night out with the guys rather than going bowling (sorry all you bowlers)
