Wow dude. That's a serious workout!

Awesome.

The short RI's are killer! I am feeling a bit sick now though. I feel like I got alot of sinus issues. Seems like I get that whenever I do a ton of stuff in a workout?

Mr. DD, I am sorry but that workkout of yours would simply kill a fat guy like me.

I am going to be traveling to Colombia again next week, which means I'll be letting my wrist rest from Boxing. Once I get back I am going to listen to your wisdom and incorporate plyo's. Really...thanks for the great idea. I was looking at the exercises and they look grueling, even the low intensity ones. Once again, help for helping an old fatty......:thumb:

why do you want to incorporate plyos? What kind?

Plyos are not for fat loss and they are not for everyone. One should not just throw them into a routine without properly setting it up....you are asking for some nice joint pain otherwise.

Brutus-Yeah I am trying to as much as possible. I got one more week of tempos and then heavier weight with controlled tempo. Actually may do a few exercises for strength and a few for metabolic work.

So I was bascially testing where I was in the strength department.

BB Bench
225x3
255x3
275x3
290x3
300x2 URGH!

DB Rows
110x3
165x3
175x3 PR

Pullups
bw+100x3 (2 sets)

Medcine ball pushups
10 (2 sets)

Supine Rows
bwx10

Stretch

Rows were incredible, but bench isnt where I would like it to be. I got like 310 for 3 over the summer, but I was also 10lbs heavier, so I will take that.

a) 10lbs heavier makes a difference.

b) what have you been doing to try and increase your bench press?

Yeah I realize, but thought it would go up pretty easy. The 290 went up fairly easy. :shrug:


Well P nothing reall to be honest. I just dont like losing bench strength, its an ego thing. Of course I have been doing bench once a week or so, but its not a huge deal. Especially whenever right now my main goal is to lean out a bit.

you can be in better shape and still be strong. Make sure that your program is set up to prevent de-training of other qualities.

Thats exactly what I have been doing. I dont ignore strength all together. I have it together where for 2 weeks I train for size and 2 weeks for strength and so on and so forth. This has been going for 4 weeks or so.

I have made incredible gains and am enjoying it. Over the winter I wasnt doing this, which was a huge mistake! I was instead lifting for strength only and lost a bit of size! But it seems like it coming back and my strength is staying close. Of course I am trying to lean out a bit, so I expect to be slightly weaker.

okay. I was saying just have some low volume high intensity shit during your weeks where you are emphasizing somethign else (say work capacity). Like my program now. Does that make sense?
