Simple training session today.  Row, ride or run a specific distance as quickly and efficiently as possible.  I have chosen to row 10,000 meters.  If you don't have access to a rower.. Hit the pavement or a bike.  10,ooo meters is roughly 6.2 miles.  Get after it.. 

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

Warmup with joint mobility, foam roller, and dynamic movement.  Rack 'em up.  Old school back squat with a box jump chaser, 1 legged dead lifts, and a little foot work.  Simple strength and conditioning day.  If you don't have access to a squat rack, you can use dumbells, kettlebells, or body weight (just increase the reps a bit).  You can also roll out after each round to continue to break up fascia in your legs.  This will increase blood flow and help muscle tissue to recuperate.

5 sets

5 back or front squats (increase work load each work set after warmup set)
5 L/R one legged dead lifts
10 step ups 
agility ladder
50 jump rope skips

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

Warm up with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a slow controlled series of movements that hits the whole body.  Turkish get ups.  We're going to keep it super simple.  Just set the timer and go. One suggestion, try and do multiple reps with the same arm.  This will help stability, strength, stamina and mobility in the shoulders.

Your call on time.. 10-15-20 minutes.. Its up to you..
Use an appropriate weight for multiple reps for an extended period of time.

1500 M row or 1 mile run for a bit of extra conditioning.

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

Warm up with joint mobility, dynamic movement and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit the plates and bells in a bit of a kitchen sink session.  Just 1 Olympic plate, a kettlebell and a clubbell.  Climb the ladder ascending in reps as you go.  Several rounds and very little rest give you a muscle and cardio pump.  This is another great game conditions simulation.  Executing when you're tired.  The well conditioned athlete always will..
