One Week Of My Training
Lots of questions. How do you train? What do you do on which day? How to do incorporate bodyweight training and weight training? Where does the grip training come in and how long does that take?
My workout will vary from time to time but for the last eight weeks or so, it has looked like this:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday
Upper Body
Lower Body
Abs
Neck
Grip
Breathing Exercises
Muscle Control
Bridging
Pushups
Takes roughly 45 minutes and unlike most people, I usually lift late at night before I go to bed.
Tuesday/Thursday
Stadium steps (if the stadium isn’t locked up)
Or
Track + Jump Rope
Pushups
I run in the early evenings, 6:pm or so. These workouts usually take 20-30 minutes depending on venue and goal for the day.
With the weather getting warmer and all, I am considering adding an extra day or two of conditioning work.
My equipment selection varies. Depending on my overall goals for the particular workout and whatever I feel like using, my workout will include some combination of an Olympic set, kettlebells, sandbags, thick bars, Log Bar, short ropes, hand grippers, Hammer Gripper, Ivanko Super Gripper or sledge hammers. Bodyweight movements are performed barefoot on a section of wrestling mat.
Yes, that’s it but the real "secret" to why this works so well isn’t found in the exercises themselves. Keep looking at what I wrote – maybe you’ll find it.
Train hard.
