Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a simple but truly effective conditioning workout.  All in it entails is the use of your own body weight, a kettlebell, and a timer.  We are going to be using one of my favorite training regimens, Tabata training.  You can read more about this type of protocol here: http://tabatatraining.org/?p=18 It is worth reading.  It is one the ways the Russians developed such incredible sustained strength and endurance in all of their Olympic endeavors.  So lets get to it!!

20 seconds on / 10 seconds off for 8 rounds
Leave nothing in the tank

Sumo/upright row
Squat thrusts
Thrusters
Knees to chest
Jump Squats

Sit-outs

Cool down, have a nice day..  El Rey always..

9/2/15

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to sling some steel. Short reps, heavy weight, and long sets.  There will be a small bit of conditioning, that will just be a by product of the training session.  This is a great you go/I go training session to do with a partner.  There is ample rest in between sets.  Make sure that you are safely increasing your workload after each set.  Form and stability over quantity.

5x5 RDL

5x5 Chain Push ups

9/1/15

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to have a bit of fun training.  Everyone enjoys the grab bag circuit.  Its very simple put 10-20 different exercises down on paper, and throw them into a bag.  Pick out 5-10 and you have your circuit.  You can do it for reps or for time.  Make sure that you are equitable between your strengths and weaknesses.  Always put several movements in there that you struggle with mentally and physically. So for sure there will be OH squats in mine... Have some fun and have a great training session.

Cool down, have a nice day..  El Rey always..
